So glad you asked. (To quote Clevon in Blazing Saddles...Scuze me while I whip this out!)
I have retained my moral sense while many others around me not only forgot theirs, but went full liberal and campaigned for a gay rights/abortion supporter.
I have the sense to know that supporting people who want you to STFU, if not just crawl under a rock and die, is the path of either a fear-filled person or a blathering idiot.
I have the proven knowledge that most so called conservatives have a price and they are not real concerned about getting top dollar. They sell out for little/nothing in return.
I also have the warm and fuzzy feeling that regardless of who won this election, there is no mathimatically possible way that we could dig out of this mess, even if every swaggering Johnson, woman, child and gerbil contributed 100% of their income to the cause for the next decade. That being the case, not pissing away the core of who and what I am to run around FR campaigning for a guy who wants me under above-said rock was and is a no-brainer.
And lastly, I have an even warmer and fuzzier feeling that a sufficient number of ‘conservatives’ learned their lesson this trip that in 4 years, you will be in a very distinct minority.
“We” on the other hand, will be a growing force in a new party/movement that is extremely adverse to those mired in GOP excusemongering.
That about cover it for ya?
LOL, indeed it did!
I especially love this part:

That is a FReeper keeper for sure!
Seriously, I had no excitement nor support for Romney, but the alternative in my view is not acceptable or survivable, hence Romney is the las grasp of dying breath.
Your point that we're on the last dying gasp no matter who won is most likely the inevitable outcome.
I guess the outcome is written no matter what, so all we can do is prepare...which I have.
I wish us all the best of luck, we're all going to need it.
