re: #774 Feline Fearless Leader

Incumbent governor in my state defeated. By a Democrat.
Rest was pretty status quo.

I was disappointed in 2010 in seeing what I thought were a lot of acceptable candidates losing to demagogues and/or idiots. That, and the general predictions, prepared me for the overall results last night. Need to ride things out for two years and see how wacky Congress actually gets.

I can tell you exactly what’s going to happen over the next two years:

1) Republicans will try to pass every batshit crazy idea they’ve been wanking off to over the last 6 years, from banning abortion; oil pipelines in national parks; restricting voting to minorities even further; etc.

2) Obama, not being a lunatic religious fanatic and having a basic grasp of reality, will veto every GOP bill that is an extremist overreach. In other words: all of them.

As a result, even less will get done.

3) Then the average idiot voter, who put these morons back into power after they fucked up the country for the better part of the previous decade, will blame Obama for not working with the GOP.

4) In 2016, said idiot American voters will elect a GOP president. Which as mentioned before, the last time these fanatics ran the board, they nearly destroyed the world economy.

Because American voters have the fucking long term memory capacity of a rusty stapler. And they really, really hate being informed.

5) By 2019, the 2008 recession will seem like a picnic and we’ll be fighting wars with countries who have at lest 3 Muslims living in them.

At least PA had the brains to kick Corbett to the curb.
