Fuck these midterm elections.
Every time I thought it couldn't get worse, it did. Now all of my life, except for Bill Nelson and Barack Obama, are controlled by Republicans. The only silver lining is that the Pro-Environment Amendment passed and everything was SUPER close so Florida has more progressives than they give us credit for, but...
Fuck.
Frodo : I can't do this, Sam.
Sam : I know.
It's all wrong
By rights we shouldn't even be here.
But we are.
It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
Fuck.
Frodo : I can't do this, Sam.
Sam : I know.

I'm too used to being judged by my family, it's why with them, I never talk religion or politics.
I just want SOMETHING to get DONE. Stop trying to make a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage AND FEED THE CHILDREN OF THIS COUNTRY.
I think that is what gets me the most angry. Some of the biggest stuff debated is on restricting rights for certain individuals when it should be taking care of the people you represent.
