When I think of you, I envision someone who came of age in the 60's, Enrolled in community college used a LOT of LSD, hung around with Marxist radicals, but lacked the intellect or charisma to lead. Dropped out before the AA, because your only talent was hanging around and using drugs. Ended up in a government job that required no mental skills, post office or clerical, was radically overpaid to do menial tasks, and has significant self-esteem issues as a result.
Well, you'd be wrong about everything, then.
first, I came of age in the 1980's, not the 1960's, and up until about 2008 or so, when Bush fucked up the economy and just about everything else, I voted pretty strictly republican. Never used drugs, joined the military but then worked for various civilian companies, all of whom engaged in all manner of shitty behavior whenever there was a recession.
THen in 2008, I looked at my underwater mortgage and my busted 401K and the pink slip I got from a Romney-loving asshole who fired all the people who had carried him for six years because he "didn't have to deal with a union" and asked myself what the **** was I doing?
I honestly WISH I had gotten a government job after the I left the Army in 1992. They have good benefits. I also wish it hadn't taken me 16 years to figure out that capitalism was a shit sandwich for most working people.
But I realize that the main reason why they keep getting away with it is because a lot of working people keep voting Republican because they are upset bout the abortions or the Gays or the Mexicans or whatever else they come up with to keep stupid people like you distracted from what is really going on.
I just refuse to be distracted.
