I have grown sick and tired of reading anything about how the election was/might have been stolen.
The thing is, the election should never have been close enough to steal. What was the difference? Less than 10 percentage points?
The America I thought I was living in, back when I was a naive child, would never have come within that margin of electing a fuckhead like George W. Bush. The America I thought I lived in would have never allowed Ronald Reagan--a fucking JOKE--to have a viable political career.
The America I thought I lived in would never have allowed Richard Nixon back into the political arena after his "You won't have Nixon to kick around any more" tantrum.
The America I give a shit about doesn't shop at Wal-Mart, doesn't make Scientology a viable religion, doesn't give George W. Bush a snowball's chance in hell of being taken seriously as a political candidate, much less a governor or ...god forbid...the fucking president of the United States?
The problem with majority rule is, the fuckheads take the rest of us down with them.
If I were in my 20s, I would move to France, complete a contract with the French Foreign Legion, take French citizenship, and have done with what has turned into a trailer park of a fucking country.
You will not be surprised if I do not sign my name.
Neither did Benjamin Franklin.
