Nov. 3rd, 2004 10:47 amI'm so damn ... everything right now. Sad and frustrated and angry and furious and depressed and disheartened. I felt such hope in the days leading up to the election, there was such possibility that the stupidity and destruction of the last four years would be denounced by the American people, my people, and that we could go on and fix what has been mangled, rebuild what has been destroyed. Instead we get this, bickering and uncertainty and rank stupidity.
I like to understand people and give them the benefit of the doubt but I just can't do that today, I can't look at all of the people who voted for Bush and think 'hey, they must have had a good reason to do that, even if I don't agree with them' because I just can't. I look at my father and brother who voted for Bush (though, thank goodness Kerry took MI anyway) and I'm flabbergasted, upset, enraged.
Part of my wants to run away from these problems, to leave the morons to deal with the consequences of their own actions but another side of me refuses to do so. This is my home, damnit, and there has to be something I can do to make this better. Please let there be something I can do to make this better.
