Dear God...
I cried myself to sleep last night. That hasn't happened since the Red dumped me. There's a huge sinking hole in my chest and I wondering how do I live in this world. No, I'm not thinking of killing myself or any such nonsense. I just can't make sense of this damn election. Whatever happens with the Presidency, we lost the Senate and lost even more seats in the House. The country is turning away from progressives. Hopefully the pendulum will swing back but god fucking dammit how much worse can things get?
I knew we were up shit creek when Tom Fucking Coburn wins the Oklahoma Senate seat. A man who is incoherent and sterilizes his patients without their permission is now a U.S. Senator. Jim Fucking Bunning got elected. The man could even debate his opponent. Who the fuck votes for these people?
You want to know how miserable I am? This is how miserable I am: I found another job. One where i get to work on GLBT education issues. One that pays me more money. One where I get to supervise people. And I feel guilty about it because maybe the good karma in the universe was used up to get me that job and there was none left to win elections. Yep, pretty damn miserable.
