If
you haven't been in a coma or stranded on a deserted island for the past couple
of years you are aware of the shit-show that has been the presidential campaign
and election of the United States. Like the majority of U.S. citizens I, also,
placed my vote for Hillary Clinton to elect the best qualified candidate as
well as ensure the progress made by President Obama would remain in tact and
restore our Supreme Court. Something that shouldn't have been dismantled by the
same members of the senate who verbalized their intent to make our current
president fail.
The
mission, to make the president fail, required the same senators to disregard
the rules of law applicable to their duty to uphold the constitution by
confirming supreme court judges appointed by the president. But disregarding
their duty to put country (meaning the laws of the country defined by the
constitution and its amendments) before party or politics isn't anything new to
the most dysfunctional legislative branch since Abraham Lincoln's presidency.
These are the same group of degenerates that brought our federal government to
a halt under John Boehner's reign of gridlock. Despite Boehner's stepping down,
the ideology that both senate and congressional republicans cling to (without
wavering) is the same, repugnant mission statement and now it is sure to
continue.
As
if things aren't bad enough, now we have a president elect who's, even, more
unhinged than both the senate and congressional majorities. And, because of
their abuse of power by refusing to do their fucking job, our third (and final)
branch of government will not serve as a check nor will its symbolic scales be
balanced. Our judicial branch, the branch that has continually held the other
two branches accountable, will deliver us (the citizens who pay all of their
salaries) into an era that has never been foreseen - let alone charted until
this year's election.
Those
who allowed their fear and/or hatred to engage their ignorance and divorce any
human decency they had prior to casting their vote for the president elect have
stripped me of any fragments of an optimistic delusion I once held in an
abundance that told me, "most humans are fundamentally good." Because
they did so despite the fact that most of them said they wouldn't or couldn't
vote for him "in good conscience." Meanwhile, the majority of us
didn't vote for him because we knew that a society that doesn't learn from the
mistakes of the past is doomed to repeat those mistakes. We, also, know that
the definition of insanity is to repeat the same act expecting different
results, however, this insanity is worse than we've ever seen or experienced.
It was deliberately chosen because of its insanity, which should scare the hell
out of anyone who's sane.
Well
I extend a sincere "fuck you very much" to those of you who have
preordained the rest of our fate while ensuring that a pathological liar and
narcissist is well positioned to (actually) do "pay for play" and
more. Frankly, it's the "more" that scares the shit out of me and the
rest of the majority. If there's ever been a situation where I've prayed to God
I'm wrong it is this one. Those of you who know me, personally, are aware it
hasn't happened before with any one of the countless times I've been horribly
right no matter how wrong I wanted to be about whatever it was I warned people.
Let this be the time and issue where I'm wrong. Please, all of you who created
this mess, prove me to be wrong. I'd much rather be wrong and happy than right
and miserable.
