I've generally been pretty involved in current events since 9/11 went down. That was the start of "jesus, better pay attention to the real world" as a teenager. I've kept on top of politics as much as I could stomach while recognizing and accepting that there wasn't a whole hell of a lot I could do on my own to change anything. I'll be 29 in a few months. This election has been the most fucked up, corrupt, backwards, bizzaro type shit that people who are supposed to be in positions of authority have behaved. I thought Ol Georgy dubya was a fluke and we'd be on our way up after his term ended. Instead we had 8 years of mild obama, and now we're back to a complete shit sandwich. I was in this for Bernie for a long time, but as it stands I honestly couldn't give a fuck what happens. I'm sick of seeing the vitrol spill out of people over something that at the end of the day probably won't even effect their day to day lives, but continue to behave like their entire fucking world is coming to an end. Grow the fuck up. For what it's worth, I hope you all decide to kill each other, and I can laugh and cry from the side lines over something so fundamentally fucking petty and stupid. The human ego never ceases to disappoint me.

That feels like the natural bearing we're on at this point.
