It's true, I did just what President Obama told me to do. I voted for revenge. Fellow liberals and lefties are free to scorn me for lowering myself to the level of the enemy. When I went in the ballot box I knew of President Obama's accomplishments, but as someone who would vote for Jill Stein in a sane world, I wasn't so much voting FOR him but AGAINST them. Yes, I'm a revenge voter and I'll proudly admit it to anyone in the street. No, it's not kumbaya and it won't lead to a more tolerant world, but damnit, this election cycle I couldn't help myself.
I'm my getting revenge on the theocrats.
For too long you have tried to cram your myths down our throats, and you threaten the quality of life of hundreds of thousands of perfectly loving, stable families across the nation who just want a shot at happiness and to see their significant other in the hospital when an emergency strikes. You invade other countries to fulfill your apocalyptic vision of the world. You are evil.
I'm getting my revenge on the Objectivists.
In many ways you are worse than the theocrats, because you take a book you already know is fiction and apply its cruel precepts to real life human beings. John Galt is a cartoon character thrown on the trash heap of poor ideas. Head off to his gulch and live out your sick fantasy to your heart's content, but don't bring us into it.
I'm getting my revenge on the racist and bigots.
The 1970s rejected you and you still can't get over it. My generation and generations younger than me barely think about race. You are too sick and twisted to ever be healed, so I must simply be satisfied to have my revenge.
I'm getting my revenge on those that love lucre more than humans.
I shed no tears for you having to pay an extra 1% in taxes so that people can have healthcare. I'm tired of you spreading falsehoods about MRIs when you clearly don't realize healthcare is not about whether or not you get your cancer screening and more about millions getting the care they need. You hate the poor. I have had my revenge.
I voted for revenge against the small minded, the close minded, the intolerant, those with no shame, those who would commit genocide, those who would tarnish civilization and the hypocrites who use their savior as a shield while not heading a single word he ever uttered. I put a man in office whom you despise, who is the embodiment of everything you loathe and hate. You will awake each morning with his face staring you down, with his visage reminding you that America has rejected you and everything you stand for.
I voted for revenge, and I meant it.
