Imagine being a Republican, having to endure the elections of 2008 and 2012. For 8 years we get a President that we largely disagree with. Yet we lived through it. The sun will rise tomorrow. Give the guy a chance.
In '08 I was working in a casino in East Saint Louis. When it was announced that Obama had won, a woman stood up and cheered, said she didn't have to pay her MuthaF$!=#\&n electric bill anymore. I told her that even though I was upset, having not voted for him, but that he was my President, and hoped that he would be good for all of us.
Not so big on unlimited executive power anymore, are you? Seeing how maybe those Dead White Cis-Het Males with funny wigs back in olden times might have had a point?
Well, you need to do a little sweating, a little worrying. Fear is the teacher, and class is in session. Maybe you’ll learn something. Maybe you’ll stand up for what’s right the next time your side is honored with America’s steering wheel and some leftist serpent starts hissing that you should throw all that due process and Bill of Rights stuff out the window in the name of progressive expedience.
You jerks thought we normals were terrible and stupid when you thought of us at all. How do you like us now? Are you worried that an unfriendly executive branch might unleash its dogs at the, say, IRS upon you? That bureaucrats might destroy the entire industry that you work in, that supports your family, to satisfy the whims of the regime’s ideology? That the government is heading toward the time when it might send armed federal agents to your house to arrest you for exercising your constitutional rights?
Welcome to the last eight years as a normal.
