This year I went first, and the first thing on my list, which everyone helped finish by joining in, was "I'm thankful I'll never have to call Mitt Romney president."<br />As much as I've been enjoying the schadenfreude, though, I have found some pity for the reg'lar folks who've been suckered into the GOP con. The day after the election, one of my vendors was whining on the phone about how "we might not be ALIVE 4 years from now!" I said, yeah, but that's always true, and if you get hit by a semi tomorrow on the freeway, it won't be because of the outcome of the election, and also, you're alive now, you have a job and have had one these past 4 years, and the sky still isn't falling. A couple of days after that, I was helping some textbook reps at an exhibit, and another woman they had hired, from nutbar-conservative NW Arkansas, started shooting her mouth off about how the federal government is running our lives. I looked at her like she was crazy and said, "about the only contact I have with the federal government is when I go to the post office, so I can't imagine what you mean." She said something about taxes, to which I replied that people in all civilized countries pay them, and that mine are lower now than they were 5 years ago. Her retort was "just you wait though, you'll see!" I said I hadn't really seen much of a change in the level of government involvement in my life in the past 4 years so I wasn't anticipating that it would suddenly change, but OK, we'll see. Then finally, a customer about a week after the election was talking about how depressed she was; I just responded that hey, the last few years have been tough economically, but you're doing ok, you have your job, you have enough that you just bought a brand new truck, and you'll get through the next few years just fine. She responded by saying she hadn't been able to watch the news, "not even FOX!," since the election. I said, I don't watch ANY of them, because ALL of them are in the business of making tiny little things into crises, and that if you don't bother with watching that stuff, it's a lot easier to trust the reality you're living day-to-day (in other, less polite, words, get some fucking PERSPECTIVE; who you gonna believe, FOX News or your own lyin' reality?) She said, you know you're right, I probably shouldn't even watch that stuff.<br />Something about white people in Arkansas makes them automatically assume that if you're also a white person in Arkansas, you voted against Black Hitler, so they're free to start spouting off. I decided it was easier to not engage w/r/t my political preferences, but to just gently remind them that they need to get some fucking perspective on things and stop taking Fox and Rush Limbaugh's word for how woefully bad off they are. Because they aren't.JennOfArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-68052972992867103132012-11-26T13:11:18.575-05:002012-11-26T13:11:18.575-05:00The GOP: Fucking the big-titted chickens since 1...The GOP: Fucking the big-titted chickens since 1993.wileywitchnoreply@blogger.com
