As we dreaded. As we feared.
America has spoken, and I for one say bravo. Hurrah for democracy. Voter turnout was heavy, nearly 120 million Americans voted this year, and by a margin of over 3 million votes the Worst President in American History was awarded a resounding mandate.
Three.
FUCKING.
MILLION.
And I couldn't be happier, personally. Now we've shown our true colors. No more "two Americas." No more divisiveness. Now Americans everywhere can feel free to be the spiteful, indolent, violent, vile, ignorant thugs that deep down inside, we all WANT to be. This is a mandate! The people have spoken! The people have said YES to invading Iraq for no good reason (the tally? Americans - 1100 dead and counting! Iraqis - upwards of 100,000 dead and counting!).
- said YES to gutting our most basic environmental regulations, and shitcanning the Kyoto Accords, and letting our children drink impure water and eat mercury-befouled meat.
- said YES to privatizing Social Security so that the nation's wealthiest can glut themselves on a short-lived but potent feeding frenzy in the stock market.
- said YES to the notion that our nation's health care system is the best in the world, so long as you don't examine it through the prisms of infant mortality, life expectancy, and cost per capita.
- said YES to being strenuously, unwaveringly, vociferously pro-life, even though abortions under the Bush Regime have steadily risen. (Maybe, considering where Americans are steering the nation, this is not a bad thing.)
- said YES to ridiculous, laugh-out-loud notions that John Kerry wanted to surrender the right to defend against an attack to an international committee (the "global test"), that John Kerry shot himself to get his war medals while Bush bravely evaded doing stateside national guard duty, that minorities should remember to get out the vote on Wednesday, November 3, that John Kerry wanted to ban the Bible from America.
- said YES to depriving Americans of the basic, inalienable right to marry, just because they're gay.
- said YES to gutting the last vestiges of affirmative action, because after all, racism no longer exists in America, as we all know, and besides those dirty, lazy niggers, and spics, and gooks, are just getting government handouts and stealing my tax dollars and they should be thrown in jail if not killed outright, but not because they're a different color, just because they're poor, and it's all a wonderful strain of social Darwinism which works out for me because I'm white and marginally better off than those filthy mud people.
- said YES to giving multinational corporations who lie to their employees and stockholders and piss away billions of dollars, a slap on the wrist, in addition to continuing to give them tax breaks to subsidize shipping American jobs overseas (this is known, to any sane person who examines the situation, as WELFARE, which is fine for millionaire CEOs and stockholders, because they need more money, but despicable for unwed minority mothers and children, because, fuck them).
- said YES to ignoring the growing stockpile of nuclear weapons held by North Korea, because they have no oil, and can't be used as a counterbalance to Saudi Arabia and Israel, or transformed into one vast complex of military bases from which to launch attacks against Syria or Iran.
- said YES to the wonderful things to come...
A right-wing pro-lifer appointed to the Supreme Court when Rehnquist steps down or dies. A Chief Justice Antonin Scalia. Another right-wing pro-lifer appointed when Sandra Day O'Connor steps down. A neoconservative supreme judiciary for a generation.
More illegal powergrabs in the House of Representatives to entrench a perpetual GOP majority there.
Constitutional amendments to ban gay marriage, and maybe to allow Arnold to run for president, and maybe to end presidential term limits.
School prayer.
Burning books.
National identification cards.
Expansion of the USA PATRIOT Act.
Detention camps.
And I say, good!
We get the government we deserve. We wanted this. We WANTED it. We want to lose our civil liberties, we want to throw poor people into the streets, we wanted to rush headlong into a new Vietnam. So hurray for our side! We did it. We gave ourselves a four-year-long present.
And my new philosophy now, is quite simple, and rather pithy I think.
Here it is:
FUCK AMERICA.
Fuck this country. This country can go straight to motherfucking Hell now for all I care.
People want to give tax breaks to millionaires, hey, go for it. Good for them. They must be better than us, they have more money, right? Let's ban gay marriage. Hell, let's ban gay sex altogether. Give law enforcement agencies power to break into our bedrooms and watch us even more closely. And I think it would be a good idea for us all to pray a lot more. And by good idea, I mean it should be compulsory. Every day.
And Iraq...what can I say about lovely, wonderful Iraq.
Every expert says our military almost certainly voted overwhelmingly for the man who put them in harm's way for stupid, ideological reasons.
So I say...let them stay in Iraq.
Forget about ending the war. Let them garrison those sand dunes for the next 30 fucking years. It's what they want! America's youth WANTS the opportunity to push brown people around, to shoot babies and blow up mosques. America's youth are a bunch of fucking monsters. STUPID monsters. So keep them in Iraq. More of them can get blown up or shot at. It's what they want. They want to give up arms and legs. They want to have screaming nightmares for the rest of their lives. They voted for it! We all did. We gave Bush a three-million-vote margin of victory. Iraq is just the beginning. There's Syria, Iran...of course we may have to start a draft, but hey, I'm 30 and out of shape, I should be alright, so go Bush! Hurray! More victory parades, and eventually, pretty memorial statues for every small town in America. This is what America wants.
We get what we deserve.
This isn't my country anymore.
As soon as it's feasible for me, I will be leaving America, renouncing my citizenship, and not looking back.
Fuck this country.
