Fear and Loathing...
Nov. 4th, 2012 11:52 pmSome of you may be aware, there's an election happening in my country on Tuesday.
I've already cast my vote, so my part in this drama is over. Now all that's left is the waiting, the watching, the worrying.
I am violently afraid that Romney will win. Like, I nearly went into a panic thinking about it this afternoon in the parking lot at Target. I don't understand it. I don't understand how anyone could want to vote for him. Okay, scratch that, I don't understand how anyone who makes less than $250,000 a year would vote for him. That's roughly 6 million people, which is about 2.5% of the US population eligible to vote, if I did the math right. So I don't understand how the population is basically spilt 50-50.
Ugh, what actually scares me is that I do understand why some people are voting for Romney. You have the religious zealots, the racists, the anti-LGBT rights crowd, the misogynists. I just didn't realize there were so many of them.
It makes me want to cry.
