Tonight the future begins: Change is changing back. For too long, this nation has been PLAGUED by people who want to provide them health care and fix the economy. HEY, DEMOCRATS, WE WANT TO DIE OF HEART ATTACKS AND HAVE OUR ADVANCED SYSTEM OF BARTER DEVOLVE BACK INTO HUNTING AND GATHERING, THANK YOU. Democrats didn't get this message, and the Teabaggers emerged from cashing their Social Secuirty checks at The Scooter Store to tell them they don't like government action when it's put in motion by black people. It has been a long two years of Republicans refusing to let government happen and the Democratic Party giving into their fear of voters hating them. And guess what? Voters probably hate them anyway, based on what everyone thinks will happen tonight. So grab a drink and thank democracy as the stubborn American economy removes what filibuster-proof power Democrats did have and leads into a new era of mixed-party deadlock.
This might be a little bit "contrarian," but is it possible that Lincoln was wrong, and we should have let the Confederacy GTFO? Granted, continuing the institution of slavery would be a cost, but we could have let them be their own country, then defeat the living shit out of them, and impose Abolitionist Sharia law on their asses. Without the South and its infectious and insidious bigotry, the average IQ of the US would jump, and redneckery would not be respectable.
(I live in the deep south, and am depressed as hell tonight.)
Thanks.

And ten minutes after the polls close at that.
