This election is going to make me crazy. It is already doing so. This is on top of other legitimate stressors in my life currently. But frankly, I haven't had a good cry in a while, and there may be one coming.
The flashpoint tonight? Something completely mundane. Facebook. Why is it that when you look for 'conservative politics' bumper stickers, multiple ones for remembering 9/11 appear? Did 9/11 only impact conservatives? That is a really stupid question, with a really simple answer. How come it has become a talking point for the conservatives, a catch-all for doing whatever we want to whatever countries we want?
I am worried that when I go to Georgia, I will be in a hotbed of conservative politics. Or surrounded by conservative roommates (again). Four years ago it wasn't as bad, I swear. It's worse now. Reading newspaper articles is as close as I can get...watching talking heads gives me agita.
I feel betrayed by gender in that white female undecided voters are flocking to a ticket with an unprepared, misinformed, gimmick of a candidate. This is not equality, she doesn't even SUPPORT pay equality.
Ugh. I can't even summon up all my righteous rage right now, it's not pretty and it's not articulate. The only thing I'm proud of is that my new mission to eradicate profanity from my speech was held up in this post. Though it did take a fair amount of backspacing.
