Post-Election Empathy
Isn’t all this Presidential Election horseshit over yet? The campaign months leading up to the election itself was tedious enough, but now that the final tally is in and the polls have reached an official decision…can’t we all just forget about now and get on with our lives mindlessly marching down the path to global annihilation?
Now there are people protesting openly in public squares, people killing themselves with shotguns at Ground Zero, and people weeping and tearing out their hair in despair. C’mon, let’s get it together! It’s only a Presidential Election people…not the death of some Egyptian Pharaoh or something! CHILL THE FUCK OUT!
Something tells me that these people who we are still reading about in newspaper articles days after the election, protesting and bitching about the election results are the kind of people who probably acted this same way when they cancelled ‘Friends’ from Prime Time television. They were the ones who threw temper tantrums as children by kicking the air and pounding the living room floor with their fists every Christmas morning when Santa failed to bring them a new ‘Millennium Falcon’ or a ‘Cabbage Patch Kid’ with red pigtails.
Sure I’m distraught at the election result myself! As a matter of fact, I’m still tempted to lock my cat and I into a fallout shelter for the next four years eating tins of cold Spam rather than suffer through another term with the idiot man-child and Robodick at his side. Just as I'm sure that the prescriptions for Xanax will skyrocket out of the cosmos; I am sure that I, and everyone else will just have to learn to deal with it.
These other nutbars probably weren’t exactly that well adjusted in the first place is what I’m hinting at. Who else would allow themselves to get this excited over the voting between two billionaire ding-dongs who would just as soon be the contestants on the popular game show ‘Wheel of Political Injustice’?
