Sorta reiterates what I said (only better)
Maybe this time the voters chose what they actually want: Nationalism, pre-emptive war, order not justice, "safety" through torture, backlash against women and gays, a gulf between haves and have-nots, government largesse for their churches and a my-way-or-the-highway President.
Where, I wonder, does that leave us?
If I may paraphrase: Amerika wants fascism, period. But not even the "good" kind of fascism; you know, the one that at least makes the trains run on time. No, they want the brain-numbing, bone-crushing kind that Orwell could only dream about in his wildest nightmares.
And to answer the rhetorical question, "Where does it leave us?" One of two answers: Either on the next plane out of the country, or in line at a gun shop.
[edit: ubiquitous, inevitable typos. God, I wish I had a set of hands....]
