Today I weep for America.
I have chosen to get 4 years worth of bad mood and bitterness out of the way today. I'm going to be sullen and bitchy and think bad things about my fellow man.
All of it, I'm getting it all out today.
Because there is one thing that I believe in far more than this was a dumb decision. I believe in America. I believe in supporting the President... no matter who the man is, I support the office.
So for the next 4 years, I will be supportive and optimistic. And open minded.
In a way, I'm glad that the election went the way it did. Because I know my fellow Republicans can work to support the president, whoever he is. I'm not sure that the other side would be as positive minded.
And I listened to McCain's concession speech.
It was absolutely beautiful. Healing. I would like to physically assault the fuckers that booed during it... but McCain handled even that with composure and aplomb. As graceful in defeat as he would have been in victory. I am sad that he will be too old to run in the next 4 years.
That being said, I hope that this shuts people up and calms everyone down. That was my biggest hope for whoever was elected. That he could calm people down.
Welcome to a watershed. Let us pray that history will treat us kindly for this.
