Natalie on Politics
So as America gleefully prepares to replace the "
." There is more and more political chatter, more frequently we are encountering the ever present prefabricated political blog rant. Some of you have been on my friends list for long enough to know my political stance, some of you know me in real life, but most of you haven't seen Me + Politics. There is a reason for this. Once upon a time I had dreams of majoring in Political Science, changing the world, and all of that huff puff liberal altruism shit. However, the elections in 2004 were an altogether heartbreaking process that ended in me coming to the sudden realization that I don't give a fuck.
It's not that I actually expected good to triumph over evil, it's more that I couldn't stand the despair of watching our nation get choke fucked any longer. Those of you who are close to me may have noticed that when caring becomes too taxing I simply make a choice NOT to care anymore. This seems to be the case with politics as well. Americans seem to have grown lazy about protecting the ideals of this Nation, because of that I'm beginning to feel like like they deserve what's coming to them.
It's as if I'm watching this Great Nation die of cancer, very, very, quickly. I still haven't even fully accepted that we attacked Iraq. Instead, I could be likened to a cheesy soap opera in which the mother disowns her son and declares that he was never born and does not exist. President? What President?! I Have no President?! President of th USA?! What in God's name are you talking about? As Bush and his dip shit frat buddies dig our grave deeper and deeper, clinging to my alternate reality becomes easier and easier. Why do people hate Bush more than any other scum that has graced the halls of the White House? I say it's because he's done more than the typical stuffy old republican. I feel like he has hijacked my cultural identity, and I know I'm not alone in that. He's misrepresenting me, and millions of other citizens, that's the kind of resentment that I feel for our democratic system. America is shitting all over itself and no one is planning on cleaning it up. I strongly believe that things will continue to get rapidly worse until the people of this country are backed into a corner SO SMALL that they have to create a revolution. No system is flawless, and as we spread Democracy around the world as if it's magical faerie dust let's not forget that that logic applies to us too.
As far as I'm concerned I on my own little island off of the coast of reality. I like it here, I don't plan on moving back to America any time soon.
Disclaimer: I in no way condone acts of Domestic Terrorism or any Terrorism at all, please do not waste our tax dollars by making a lame report to Homeland Security about my LJ.
kthx, Natalie
