the new republic
a broken dream
its 12:43 am and I’m turning off the tv and going to bed. Tomorrow I need to decide on a direction. I’ve stated thru-out the past 4 years that if this man was elected legitimately then I would gladly give up my citizenship.
It looks like that is about to happen and I’m stunned.
Not only have Americans across the country embraced hatred, war, and fear-mongering; but they’ve embraced the very greed and secrecy that has caused our countries ills.
All that is fine. That doesn’t bother me. Candidates come and go, political parties are constantly in flux. What bothers me most, are the candidates platforms and rhetoric. Blatant homophobia, racism, lies, deception, and illegal acts have permeated this election.
During a conversation tonight, a friend mentioned that it seemed like the Republican side was determined to just get as many votes as possible thru whatever means, while the Democrats were trying to keep the process pure and legitimate.
All that I know, is that I need to come up with C$10,000 if I’m going to immigrate to Vancouver and away from this hate filled and hopeless land.
