The gloating and the taunting. The endless self obsession with winning that came before our next royal fuckup was declared presidential successor.
I probably sound like a broken record by now, but you fools do not understand the powers in which you meddle. Even though you tools will likely spin some emotional rhetoric claiming otherwise, I highly doubt that most of you took politics seriously to begin with.
Was this all just a game to you? I want to know, because my life is not a game.
Pretty much, yeah, I don't take politics seriously, especially national politics. D.C. is over 3,000 miles away and I've never visited east of Montana.
Since I turned 30 I've seen national politics as a sort of kabuki theater with scripted outcomes. Pro wrestling, basically. Pawns of big money seeding each side of the aisle with candidates who serve their interests.
Trump was sort of different. But I think people will be surprised at how similar he will be to Obama and Bush. Not in rhetoric, mind you, but in action. Not in peripheral cosmetic issues, but in the meta big picture. Same FED, same foreign policy, same One Nation Under Surveillance, same goal of economic growth via stimulus using borrowed money, etc..
Change occurs from the personal choices people make. Our personal choices either preserve or harm the environment. Our consumer habits determine where and how much economic growth occurs. Our personal relationships create community. The figurehead in Washington doesn't create jobs. People create jobs with ideas and hard work. Government just vultures along afterwards and takes credit.
Instead of borrowing money, the government needs to put a belt around it's fat bloated belly. Redundancies and waste in government need to be reigned in. They need to start making a BUDGET and doing it on time and sticking to it!
