This tracks.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n This will (hopefully) be the only post I make about the election, and despite the fact that I fucking hate politics to begin with, I have a lot of feelings about the latest shitshow that routinely plagues the United States like one giant metaphorical sexually transmitted disease, and apparently have a lot of things to write about that I would be doing myself and the people I speak with on a regular basis a disservice to not get them off of my chest and burden them with alternatively.<\/span><\/p>\n I saw the outcome of this election, the minute that Joe Biden announced that he would not be running for reelection.\u00a0 Everyone knew that by default, the DNC would push Kamala Harris to the candidacy, and that was basically the kiss of death right there, because if there\u2019s one thing that America seems to dislike more than a known felon, sex offender, cheater and thief, is apparently women, and if there\u2019s one thing America would hate more than a woman, would be a woman of color.<\/span><\/p>\n This morning, I felt dread in my stomach, my heart, my head, watching my girls eating breakfast.\u00a0 They\u2019re too young to know what\u2019s really going on out there in the world, but it makes me feel sorrow to know that they\u2019re living in a country that will never value them as much as a white man, because they\u2019re both female, and of mixed-race.<\/span><\/p>\n This bullshit is not their fault, nor the fault of any children out there.\u00a0 Whatever happened to the comprehensive goal of giving kids a world better than our own?\u00a0 Real maturity in voting is understanding that you sometimes are voting for things that have no bearing to your own lifetime, but have immeasurable impact on the lives of those who follow after us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Americans are so selfish and short-sighted that they vote for the things that they think are going to impact them now, tomorrow, or at least in their lifetimes; and as evidence has shown throughout the course of history, those types of promises are as about as rare as encountering a shiny Pok\u00e9mon.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On brand.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Kamala Harris, I have nothing against her, but she was dead in the water from the second she was named the democratic candidate.\u00a0 I fail to understand why some people seem to think America is ready to elect a woman considering how badly Hilary Clinton failed, and the DNC decides to up the difficulty even more, by putting up a woman of color in the driver\u2019s seat with Harris.<\/span><\/p>\n As I\u2019ve stated in elections past, the DNC is arrogant, foolish and has way more faith in White America to think they will go for anything other than another old white man, and takes for granted all the minorities that they just seem to assume will auto-vote blue, no matter how much racist rhetoric orange guy, his cronies and cultists all spout.<\/span><\/p>\n No one of us is as dumb as all of us.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I will never understand why the democrat strategy wasn\u2019t to just let Biden win a reelection, and then peace out on January 10th<\/sup> and be all like welp my job here is done, Kamala you\u2019re in charge now, godspeed<\/em>.\u00a0 Sure, there\u2019s no guarantee that Biden would\u2019ve won reelection, but unseating an incumbent is an extremely difficult thing to accomplish, as it took nearly 77 million Americans and a pandemic to unseat orange guy\u2019s first regime, but the fact of the matter is that an old-ass Biden would\u2019ve fared better in an election than a woman of color with old white voters, and the DNC should have known better than to push for this sequence of events.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s almost as if they\u2019re not-so secret heels, tanking on purpose, waiting for the opportune moment in the future to declare their heel turn on America or something.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve said this before, but I will never understand why the DNC continuously insists on doing shit \u201cthe right way\u201d or tries to compete fairly, with honesty, integrity, honor and all this holier-than-thou bullshit.\u00a0 Their opponents haven\u2019t operated in this manner in over 20 years, and their track record only justifies why they probably never will, so it begs the question of why the fuck should democrats continue to keep trying to play fair?<\/span><\/p>\n The GOP expects to win, while Democrats hope they can.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure how this all fits into the conversation but there\u2019s something to be said about such mentalities when it comes to vying for the highest position of power in basically, the world.<\/span><\/p>\n A person is smart; people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n As down with a female, of color, president I would be, it\u2019s obvious and evident that the rest of America isn\u2019t ready, nor will they ever be ready for it until all the boomers die off, and their votes are replaced by the ones of millennials, gen Z and whatever generational classifications will come in ensuing years, and that\u2019s provided they get out and vote in the first fucking place.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the thoughts I had during the doom-watching of election night, was that if people really want change, then they are the only ones who can make it happen, and a lot of it would start by rapidly moving into flyover states in large numbers, and altering the course of the nation by flipping as much of Flyover America as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Sure, the number of electoral votes aren\u2019t that high, but considering how close that every fucking election tends to be these days, three from Nebraska, two from each Dakota and some other paltry numbers, still can swing an election, and if anything at all, change the narrative of the country that Flyover America is as red as Mars.<\/span><\/p>\n I get it though, not everyone is MrBeast and can just straight up repopulate a place just because they want to.\u00a0 But it would be pretty incredible if companies that leaned left decided to take up shop in parts of Flyover America, and they gradually flipped on account of young, imported workforce; and it\u2019s not just for the benefit of future elections, it would be nice to have legitimate reasons to visit places like the Dakotas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and other boring bullshit flyover states.<\/span><\/p>\n But it would be nice to see a future election where Red doesn\u2019t shoot to a gigantic lead immediately, because all of Flyover America has been called and their votes lead to a 103 to 14 lead, and Blue spends the entire night digging out of a deficit and banking, desperately, on battleground states that are known, and have already been targeted by their opposition as well.\u00a0 It would be pretty cool to see one where the lead is more like 89-21, and that 7-vote swing is what ends up being the difference in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n When America looks like this, we\u2019ve already lost.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The good news is that if there\u2019s one thing that I\u2019ve ever learned about politics in America is that presidents seldom accomplish anything in a single term.\u00a0 They\u2019re completely reliant on a second term and\/or their successors to continue the work they\u2019ve begun in order for any sort of progress to be had, and barring an attempt to alter the laws of two-terms, orange guy won\u2019t have another term, and he\u2019s not going to start any work because it will cramp his golfing schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, at least one year will be an insufferably obnoxious victory lap, and by the time the puppet masters can get their puppet reeled in, politicians all around the country will already have begun campaigning for the midterms and 2028, and this agonizing circus will be hitting the tracks all over again.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think America is going to see as much progress as much as we\u2019re going to hear a whole shitload of talk, grandstanding, and no actual action.<\/span><\/p>\n Hey, maybe we can have another pandemic, that worked wonders helping eradicate a whole lot of trash last time, and honestly there\u2019s seldom a week that goes by where I don\u2019t lament on how much I miss a lot of circumstances that emerged from coronavirus.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m not mad, I\u2019m just disappointed.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Despite this lengthy diatribe, I can\u2019t really say that there\u2019s a hangover like there was in 2016.\u00a0 I knew this was going to happen.\u00a0 It\u2019s just the dread at how insufferably arrogant and the gloating we\u2019re going to see from the brainless cult in coming weeks, months and years, but mostly knowing the cultists that live near me will be a happy household for the indeterminate future in the shitty version of America they helped make happen.<\/span><\/p>\n But I did take a spill while I was running, and got a small crack in my phone; I guess I\u2019m more hungover about recent events than I care to admit to.<\/span><\/p>\n However, I did have a thought cross my mind while running, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s one that many Americans out there have felt over the span of today, which is pondering the reality of leaving well, America: America is like a job you don\u2019t like, but you have a hundred reasons why it\u2019s not logical to just cut and run which is the only way lots of Americans tolerate and continue to live here.\u00a0 I like to believe that if it really were that easy to just pick up everything and move to another country, America would face a pretty notable migration.<\/span><\/p>\n I often say that sometimes it\u2019s satisfying to be right about things, even when they involve things going tits up in the process; but there is no satisfaction in knowing that this was going to be the outcome of the election, long before it even came.\u00a0 And as much as I like being right about things:<\/span><\/p>\n This does not bring me great joy.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This tracks.
