2012 flawless victory dance

Ohhhh.

Fuck.

YES.

You know, there’s just something magical about a Republican giving a concession speech. Suddenly they seem so reasonable and classy, and i feel bad that they can’t both win. And i realize that their supporters feel just like i did in 2004, when it seemed that the universe had gone off the rails somehow, that things were going to be bad forever….

….and i feel bad for the ones who aren’t crazy fundie nuts.

It’s funny, everyone said this wasn’t going to be a dramatic election year like 2008. Democrats were supposed to be listless and demoralized, and Republicans were supposed to be lukewarm about supporting a moderate Mormon. Instead, turnout was even higher.

America. We are competitive fuckers.

This actually feels better than 2008. In 2008, Obama really was a bit of a blank slate, a guy who seemed sensible but unproven, the guy that everyone was voting for because the Republicans had just screwed up too badly. But now… his record is vindicated. No one can screech anymore that America just wanted the “novelty” of voting for a black guy, or that minorities just turned out because they thought Obama would pay their rent. Let’s never hear that racist garbage again.

We voted for him because he’s the better guy.

I’m still taking it all in, you know.

Elizabeth Warren takes back Ted Kennedy’s seat from Scott Brown.

Sherrod Brown stays in Ohio.

Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, the Teabagger-approved Rape Guys, lose two more seats that Republicans would have otherwise won.

More women in the Senate than ever. A lesbian in your Senate? It’s more likely than you think.

Alan Grayson is BACK.

Allen West is GONE.

Same-sex marriage validated in Maine.

Colorado and Washington legalize weed? Whuuuuh? Dude, those are two states that i already wanted to move to. And i don’t even smoke weed anymore.

On the bad side, my representative, Scott Dejarlais — the guy who cheated on his wife and urged his mistress to get an abortion — held on to his House seat.

And it looks like Michelle Bachmann isn’t going anywhere just yet.

This is astonishing. Until this, Republicans thought they were going to win nearly everything. Instead, they won about 5%. Democrats swept the other 95%.

This… wow. I didn’t expect it.

I guess i should have had more trust in this guy….

….Nate Silver is officially a wizard. Unless there are after-the fact revisions, he called EVERY state.

Meanwhile, between Unskewed Polls.com and the constant cherry-picking of Gallup and Rasmussen by right-wing pundits, conservatives have been fed some very bad information this cycle. This shouldn’t have been such a surprise. They effectively suckerpunched themselves.

The Nashville radio guys have been beating their chests for months about a Romney landslide. I can’t wait to see what they have to say this morning.

There are a lot of unhappy conservatives out there.

Needless to say, the Teabaggers are not happy.

Here is some choice derp, fresh from the derper’s mouth.

This is totally bumming me out.

Because if true, our country is gone — and we’re the generation responsible for it. Not sure I’ll ever be able to look my kids in the eye again.

The question is what we do if Obama wins. This is the first time that I am truly scared and thinking like a Prepper. No other election before this one caused me to think in terms of food storage and fuel and ammo. I cannot be crazy. I can’t help but notice that the people around me who aren’t scared are the ones who are clueless and don’t ever watch the news, have no idea there is a world economic collapse looming…

My 2013 looks like closing the business, moving to wide open spaces, and going just as far off the fucking grid as I can for as long as the pocket change lasts. Fuck you proggs. You were warned and you went right ahead and stuck a shotgun in all our mouths. You make me vomit.

Morbid conspiracy lunatic thought for the night: They’ll have to kill us. They can’t afford to build prisons to hold all of us. And they won’t trust intimidation and reeducation to keep us in suppression for long.

I didn’t vote. I expected Romney to squeak this one out by ten or fifteen but since Failshit Brokedick Little Nation appears to have validated its abysmally low character, if Obama wins at least I can hold my head up. No offense to a single soul at Protein Wisdom, but tomorrow may very well start a whole new personal paradigm. I’m out. Not just tonight, I’m out, period. It’s survival mode at my place now.

If 50.1% of the U.S. wants a petulant socialist skinny little black messiah in the White House, it probably didn’t matter who team R threw at them.

My parents already stockpiled rice and beans and guns.

Good. That’s what I’d do. Rent out your house or put it on a contract with a buyer if you don’t get a buyer right away and get out of dodge. You can barter for the goats or for a hired man until you get the kids trained to care for them. Same with chickens.

Looks like the Mayans were right, after all. Sadly, there is no going back now. At least, not by way of elections. The masses here are content to run out the debt clock, get theirs, and say fuck it to the next few generations, who will bear the burden of what will be an inevitable collapse. So there’s really no going back, period. The mainstream press once again bought Obama the election. Which will buy him 4 years of an imperial presidency with nothing to stop him. End of country. Time to maybe start a new one, I think. Because I’ll be goddamned if my family is going to work to pay for other people’s shit; and I most certainly won’t live in a post-Constitutional police state — at least, not without putting up whatever resistance I can.

Okay so as much as I would like to run out and live in the woods, I’m chemically dependent on drugs that are making me fat, working for my parents, and holding an engineering degree I can’t convert into a job because bioengineering companies got shafted on biofuels by investors who thought we could just keep burning food for ethanol. Help.

I will be selling my books and other assorted chattels, selling off my assorted retirement investments, and moving to Ireland in the new year. Better off in a country that has owned up to, and is repaying on its fiscal sins, rather than remain a country that’s about to descend into Cloward–Piven madness. Good luck, all of you. I’ll be watching from Achill.

I just don’t know what to say…. the inmates have taken over the asylum I guess. Well, I’ll try to get some sleep before I head to the gun shop tomorrow AM. God bless the mourners of America.

Truth can’t win when the lies carry no foreseeable consequences. We’re in for a really hard, painful lesson. Might want to ditch your @gmail and Twitter and Facebook accounts: that NSA building here in Salt Lake county is, as we speak, filling up its datastores with everything that goes across the wires, including this thread. You’re guilty of something, and you’ll pay.

The moochers, looters and inner city tribal parasites now outnumber the producers. The economic collapse and resulting chaos and violent civil unrest is now assured. All we can do now is pray and band together with like-minded individuals and hold out against the tide as long as we can. Good luck.

Oh, and for what it’s worth, fuck the entire “right” who, almost to a man, reminded us not only not to squander our votes but lied when they said that the guy who just dragged himself, his family, and us through this second national embarrassment was our best hope. In fact you all lost like the rented mules you are to a sociopathic Administration and Establishment — under which in the next four years we’ll without question lose both first two Amendments, two more SCOTUS seats, our Internet freedom and voice, and some of us our lives under Obamacare — whose national embarrassment of a “President” demonstrated and/or promised us not yesterday but four long years ago that he’d do all of the above. He really was nothing other than exactly, precisely what he has proved himself to be and you helped fuck up the only recourse we once had, which was to step up and do the right thing. You sad, pathetic pricks and your electoral college mapware and your idiotic blogs and your calling for 350 and 400 and 400+ vote Romney mandates. Jim Cramer has a better record then you. One thing I will not be doing in the new year is wasting a minute of my remaining time on any of your foolish, mewling “conservative” websites.

So, the transformation will be completed. Welcome to the new world…subjects.

I hate having a ‘rock star’ president. It’s like I’m living in a Firesign Theatre skit.

Obama is happy to own the economy. He wants this to happen. It’s his desire to see the Collapse.

Ahhhh.

They’ll live.

Pragmatically, this election matters because now the Democrats have a stronger hand in the upcoming fiscal cliff debate. It matters when the next two Supreme Court Justices retire. It matters because the Bush tax cuts have to at least partially end. It matters when a confrontation with Iran occurs and we don’t have a president in the pocket of the defense industry. It matters because Obamacare won’t be repealed or weakened. It matters because the Republican party might finally get the memo and realize that they can no longer count on winning elections by pandering to older, gun-owning, straight white Christian suburbanites. They might realize that the rest of Americans are American.

Hmmm.

In a woozier and more romantic sense, the Obama era is a bridge in my little life. When i’m old and retired, i’ll remember that when i was a kid, the world was different. There was no internet, weed was worse than crack, gay people were only whispered about, military action was unquestioned, and the presidency was solely a clubhouse for old white men…

…and then this decade happened…

…and then i was in a new world, where the internet connects all, weed is like alcohol, gay people are getting married, we don’t want any more land wars, and anyone can be president.

The new world might be better overall, even if the older world had better music.

There’s only one thing to do now…

.

.

…oh, who am i kidding. I’m going to stay sober and draw all night.

Overall, this was a very normal day for me. I left work, listened to some Air albums, took my dogs to the vet for a nail trim and tried not to gawk at the two sexy blonde techs in their form-fitting teal veterinary scrubs, oh god…….. slept, woke up, went to the store, made chili, and exercised.

If i have tomorrow off, i’m thinking of a victory pizza. Or victory sushi.

Tagg Romney vs. Julian Castro in 2020. Now THAT would be an election.

I gotta go hassle Ashleigh Bin Field now.

Yeaaah.
