Obama Win Cau­ses Obses­sive Sup­por­ters To Rea­lize How Empty Their Lives Are

(…) Car­ry­ing a majo­rity of the popu­lar vote, Obama did espe­cially well among women and young voters, who polls showed were par­ti­cu­larly sen­si­tive to the cur­rent cli­mate of ever­y­thing being fucked. Ano­ther con­tri­bu­ting fac­tor to Obama’s vic­tory, poli­ti­cal experts said, may have been the gro­wing num­ber of Ame­ri­cans who, faced with the com­plete col­lapse of their coun­try, were at last able to aban­don their pre­con­cep­ti­ons and cast their vote for a pro­gres­sive African-American.

Citi­zens with eyes, ears, and the abi­lity to wake up and rea­lize what truly mat­ters in the end are also belie­ved to have played a cru­cial role in Tuesday’s election. (…)

As we enter a new era of equa­lity for all people, the elec­tion of Barack Obama will deci­dedly be a miles­tone in U.S. history, unde­nia­ble proof that Ame­ri­cans, when pus­hed to the very brink, are wil­ling to look past out­ward appearan­ces and judge a per­son by the qua­lity of his cha­rac­ter and strength of his record. So as long as that per­son is not a woman.
