"What in the hell are you talking about?" I swear to God sometimes that's what I want to say to some people. Over the last 20 months, this country became so polarized I thought I was on the verge of either being in a militant version of socialism (communism) or a militant version of religious zealots (fascism). They said about 70% of us didn't want Clinton or Trump. Let that settle in for a moment. That means that 35%, roughly, voted for one because they didn't want the other more and vice versa. So for those that genuinely expected something new--from either side-quit whining. BOTH sides!! We the other 70% are sick of hearing about it. I don't know if my words will represent that other 70% but I'm guessing that a good percentage of it will feel like I do. Shut up. Enough. I don't care that Clinton lost. I didn't want her anyway. I don't care that Trump won. We knew one of them would win. I didn't want him either. Unlike you assholes who said your vote didn't matter before election day because it was rigged in Clinton's favor? Guess what? Shut up. You were wrong. For you idiots that are whining that Trump cheated? Guess what? Shut up. You were claiming it was a good system until you lost. No one, well, at least 70% of us don't want to hear it anymore.
Here's the thing. While you dumb whiny bitches, oh yes--definitely bitches, keep crying over whether you like or don't like the President elect...Guess what? It doesn't matter. If you love him, think he's going to be the best thing since George Washington himself, guess what? It doesn't matter. He doesn't have to do anything he promised to do. Why? Because you're so busy patting yourselves on the back and arguing over something that is over that you wouldn't know if he was doing what he promised or not. Stupid. Stop it. It's over. It's like watching other Raiders fans start bragging about our last Super Bowl win in 1984!!! AND I'm a Raiders fan!! You look pathetic bragging about a win that now doesn't matter again for 4 years!! I mean seriously. Do you brag about the Super Bowl win for months on end? (Other than to razz your best friend when the season starts back?) NO, of course not. That would make you look like an idiot...and yes, you look like an idiot going on and on about how proud you are of the new President elect. Know why? Because he hasn't actually done anything yet. The Super Bowl winners are winners until the next season starts. He's only just started. He's not a winner until he proves he can do the job. BAM!
Oh, and don't think for one minute I'm cutting any of you whiny Clinton fans a break here. Enough. She lost, fair and square, and you were perfectly fine if it would've been her that had won the electoral college and lost the popular vote. We all know that, because those arguments were made by your camp before election day. So guess what? Shut up. She lost. It's over, and 70% of us don't care that you got your feelings hurt because she lost. Tough twinkies. Man up. God knows you expected us to suck up another Obama win when 80% of Americans were opposed to Obamacare. Know why? Well for me and 60% of working Americans, it took our "Cadillac" plans away and made it basically illegal for our companies to even offer us them through steep fines. Oh but gave those same "Cadillac" plans to people who didn't work at all. In fact, if you actually were working, you couldn't afford the premium for the "Cadillac" plans. Nope. You actually had to be so damn poor you weren't working at all. (Know this for a fact, because a friend's income was too high and she with her two dependents was technically still lower income.) SO...shut up. That pissed us off and most of us wanted a change. It shouldn't surprise you at all that enough people were mad that Obama wasn't listening to what we wanted. Why are you whining still? Is it really because you are upset over the win? Or is it that you know that over 60% of us wanted Obama to stop doing certain things and now you realize that Trump might do the same to you? I mean really.
Now here's what both sides of the whiners have in common. You don't know when to shut up. Much like Trump. The man constantly knee jerk reacts on Twitter like a teenage girl. Oh yes, even you Trump haters, you whine as much as he tweets stupid shit--possibly more. We don't care. BUT here's the real problem with both sets of you idiots. You are making the rest of America complacent. You are helping in the dumbing down of this Great Nation. No? Basically 70% of us don't want to hear it anymore. It's a proven fact--through statistical theory that goes back more than half a century--that over time only 2% will continue to pay attention. The rest will get so sick of the rhetoric that they will just tune it all out. I'm one of the 2%. I'm watching Trump. You know why? He's the President elect, and whether you like it or not his decisions will affect all of us. Spare me the "oh the stuff they do doesn't affect my daily life" crap. All of us were impacted by Obamacare and the majority were not impacted for the better. Period. So YES, EVERYTHING they do affects us.
It's time you stop arguing over bullshit and start looking at your neighbors and realize we all have a LOT of common ground. Common ground? Yes. We ALL are sick of House Congressmen and women making $174,000 for 4 months of work. The average American makes approximately $52,0000 per year for working an average of 50 weeks a year--versus less than 20 weeks. Trump promised to end the corruption. Promised to end the pork bellies. Promised to make them do their jobs. Unless you are making the equivalent of $174K per 4 months of work, then shut up and start paying real attention to what's going on. Let me put this in perspective for you. These assholes we elect make a minimum of what would be $522,000 a year if they were actually working as hard as you do. Do you think that's fair? Oh, but you're so busy whining about Clinton's loss or whining that Trump won so brag, brag, brag, that you are failing miserably to see the forest through the trees. Trust me. They love you to do this. Why? Because the rest of us just want all of you to shut up. We don't want to hear it anymore. In the process, you are making all of us ignore what's actually going on as much as you are.
For those that are getting complacent because you don't want to hear it anymore. I'm not leaving you out. I'm one of the 2%. I'll be paying attention when you have shut it out. You are just as much the problem as anyone. You don't want to tell them to stop. You don't want to keep up with the issues anymore either. You've got everyday problems and the election is over. But, if you're like me, Obamacare did affect your every day--by affecting your paycheck, your ability to receive healthcare, and how much you have to come out of pocket if anything happens. It affected how much groceries you're buying every week. That's right. Let that sink in. And it was your complacency that let it happen. Yes, it was. When people tried to warn you to call your Representatives and Senators, did you? Most of you didn't. Most of you were too complacent to bother. Start paying attention. The President elect has been picking his Cabinet nominees. These people will affect your daily life more than any of our elected officials. Yes, fact. VA? Appointees. HUD? Appointees. Education? Appointees. Federal Reserve? They control interest rates and the dollar and guess what? Completely controlled by...APPOINTEES. Pay attention. These choices will dictate most of our daily lives for the next 4 to 8 years. Sure. You say well if you don't like it in 4 years you can vote him out. Bet you said that about Obama too. How'd that work out for us??
Maybe this will fall on deaf ears. But those of you that are being complacent, time to get up, pay attention, ignore the whiners on both sides, or better yet, grow some balls and remind them that the election is over and time to pay attention to what is going on with the new Congress and the President elect. Remind them that all their bickering is what got us into this mess in the first place. It's not us against them. It's not they are wrong and we are right, or vice versa. It's about making sure that we know that the people we elected are listening to us, that we are not us bickering or shutting down and letting them do whatever the hell they want. Time to "cowboy up" as a friend of mine likes to say and make sure wherever the people we elected are trying to drive the herd is where the herd actually wants to go. Because guess what? We are not a herd. We are human beings with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Remember that???
