“There are a hundred more productive, more worthwhile and more intelligent ways to show your post-election anger.
Even if this is just symbolic, it’s absurd.”
There are? What are those? Do tell.
It’s over. There is nothing to fight for in this country any longer. The America I was born and raised in is dead. It was killed. The battle is lost.
What are you going to propose, giving money to my local Republican candidate? They aren’t going to win— unless they succeed in pandering to the Latino vote and granting amnesty to millions of illegals — forgive me— undocumented americans. And they still won’t get much of that vote. Join the Tea Party? They’re dead— and anyways they were crushed in a media battle they never stood a chance of winning anyway. Portrayed as a bunch of racist, emtpty-headed old white men, that is, in effect, what they became. For groups, you are what the media says you are. Bitch on conservative forums? No one reads them but the choir. This at least will piss some Leftists off.
Hell, in most areas of the country you can’t even criticize this President for fear of being accused of being a racist or a rube— that’s a far bigger win for any politician than a simple election.
It is an empty, hollow protest to be sure. But don’t kid yourselves: that’s all there is left. Taking pokes at authority, throwing a wrench in the machine on occassion. There is nothing else to do.
So do it.
Very well put, and unfortunately also very true.
