Someone pass me the bucket
An in-depth analysis of the 2016 US election by Raheny_Eye
- There is a majority of people in society who fit into at least one of these categories: angry, disillusioned, racist, scared, moronic, misogynistic, believing in fairy tales. Some truly gifted specimens fit them all.
- The majority of the adult population is able to vote in the US (of A)
- A large proportion of angry people voted
- Someone was democratically elected yesterday in the US (of A)
Reality TV, lazy journalism and Facepuke (both supporters and opponents) made he-who-shall-not-be-named omnipresent.
Vox populi has spoken.
The alternative is a coup by the multicutural, egalitarian, so-called educated middle-class, to put an enlightened despot in place, someone who will know best what's good for society at large (with its inconveniently large proportion of neds/skangers/rednecks). But let's face it, we are better equipped for rolling sushi or reviewing Ken Loach fillums than going on a rampage with AK47s for the greater good.
So, what can we say? That democracy is beautiful. Too beautiful to make it accessible to everyone?
Now, where did I put that bucket of sand, see if my head will fit in it for the next four years. Possibly eight (there's bound to be a war/terror situation in three years' time that will further boost the scared vote).
