Bush won...
Kerry conceeded.
I have never been more ashamed to be an American citizen than I am today. I am disappointed in this country's citizens for re-electing such a man as George W Bush as the most powerful man in the world.
How could this have happened? Are that many people stupid enough to think Bush is a good leader? And what happens if the draft gets reinstated? People are going to die. People like me. People like my friends. All because of people that are ignorant of what Bush is doing to this country. I feel ashamed that I didn't do more for this election. I should have been out there every day trying to get people to vote or trying to make them see what Bush will do. But it was Ohio that did it. Goddamn fucking Ohio. I can't believe Bush won. But I guess I saw this coming. I guess I knew this country was going to shit.
I can't decided if I want to stay and fight or leave and go to europe. It would be possible to go to Europe and live for a while, get a job until I qualify for getting regular tuition there. I could go to school there. Or maybe I should wait until grad school. Who knows. I'll look into it. I want to stay and do what I can so that Bush won't get the federal marriage amendment passed and try to keep roe vs wade from being over turned. But once Bush gets more conservative republicans into the supreme court, there's not much we can do. I hope there's a revolution. I think there will be a lot of protesting if Bush tries to reinstate the draft. That could be the very last straw. But it could turn into a civil war. It's odd to think that something like that could actually happen, but the nation is so divided. And it'll get worse once Bush starts doing things like reinstating the draft and taking away some of our rights. Part of me wants there to be a civil war and the other part doesn't. I don't want bloodshed, but I do want the people to rise up against a man who is threatening to become like a dictator, a man who is taking away our rights and freedoms. He will destroy some of things we have worked hard to achieve, like women's rights and gay rights. He will try to put women back into the kitchens. He will try to make gays and lesbians 2nd class citizens. How long will it be until he goes after minorities? He will ruin this country. He already spent 4 years making sure the world hates us. What will he do with the next 4?
Yesterday I could hear the anxiety and fear in people's voices. Today all I can hear is the fear. The people I've asked how they are today shake their heads a little and look at the ground and reply in slightly shaking voices that they are ok. But they aren't. I can tell from their voices that they can't believe what just happened and it scares them. It scares me too. All I can think now is "What will the next four years bring?"
