It's a rant that has been building up for a while. I started it on FB, but then thought, "Do I really want to hit that 'Post' button? There's a small, sad voice deep inside of me saying that no good can possibly come of this." And so I brought it home.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bernie is a Socialist, which everyone knows means godless Communist
That's why I don't think he can win. I like him a lot, and I'd be happy with him as POTUS, but I think Clinton is a lot more likely to win the general.

Yeah, the weird political stuff on FB isn't coming from where I thought it would (family members who are practically caricatures of wingnuts); it's coming from my brother and his new rush of posting Ayn Rand shit and some other liberal friends who are busting out the tirade of "BERNIE OR NOTHING!" or "CLINTON OR NOTHING" and accusing supporters of their non-preferred Democrat to be poseurs and/or misogynists and whatnot.
People! You must chill! I have taken your keys!

Hopefully whatever abomination comes up with the Republican nomination will convince the more reasonable of the "my way or the highway" people that the lesser of two evils is a necessity in realpolitik.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The one that worries me on my Facebook is the one who's all excited about Bloomberg. If Bloomberg runs, the Republican will definitely win, and it's not going to be John Kasich.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Won't Bloomberg split the Republican vote and ensure a Democratic victory?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
And Ted Cruz is promising to bring in a theocracy. God help us (and I use the phrase advisedly).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My less than 3 hours of sleep last night (IDK why, I just couldn't get to sleep. Perhaps a diet coke too late in the day, but that seems like an extreme reaction) is catching up with me. I don't think I'm going to be able to actually be productive in the next two hours. The number of typos I have corrected in this post is pretty astounding.
Trump's candidacy keeps reminding me of that one history class where we covered fascism in depth. It's depressing and frightening.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

He's closer to the Democrats in his policy positions these days. I couldn't predict what would happen if he were to run, but I don't think it would be good for the Dems.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Bloomberg is already an anathema in many red states because of his support of gun control.
