I don’t know how better to react to the recent win by the Republicans then to say: hey, it’s been great, America!
For six years, you let me live a dream, believing that the United States had finally turned the corner in becoming a liberal society.
During those six years I came to believe that we were close to realizing what our European brother-states had long ago achieved: a wise, progressive society.
A society…
Where the emphasis is no longer on the rich but focuses on the wellbeing of the average citizen…
Where universal health care is guaranteed for all people…
Where bold steps are taken to combat climate change…
Where college education is provided free of charge…
Where the rich are required to pay a fair share of taxes…
Where children do not go to bed hungry and the poor do not live in the streets…
Where work provides enough income to sustain life and everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve their dreams…
Where war is something to be avoided and is not part of the economy…
Where the air is breathable and the water drinkable…
So please, as you exercise your rights to rape and pillage as the winner, I only have three requests: Please don’t fuck with my solar panels; stay away from California, and leave the Pope just as he is.
That’s not much to ask, now is it?
Again, American, it’s been fun!
