Cheer Up, Republicans

[Gonad the Barbarian]

You’re going to have a moderate Republican president for the next four years.

Dear Republicans,

Sorry about the election. I know how much it hurts when your presidential candidate loses. I’ve been there many times. You’re crestfallen. You can’t believe the public voted for that idiot. You fear for your country.

Cheer up. The guy we just re-elected is a moderate Republican.

I know how stupid that sounds. Barack Obama is the head of the Democratic Party. For five years, conservative politicians and media told you he was a raving socialist. In the heat of the campaign, when you’re trying to beat the guy, it’s hard to let go of that image of him, just as it’s hard for Democrats to see past the caricatures of Mitt Romney. But now that the campaign is over and you’re staring at a second Obama term, the falsity of the propaganda may come as a relief. By and large, Obama’s instincts are the instincts of a moderate Republican. His policies are the policies of a moderate Republican. He stands where the GOP used to stand and will someday stand again.

Calm down, take a deep breath, take this opportunity to unplug from the rightwing propaganda machine and join the rest of us in the real world just for a moment. Hopefully you'll like it enough to stay.

Never let anyone accuse you of being gracious in victory.

Never let anyone accuse you of being gracious in victory.

This is politics. To engage in it is to repudiate your adulthood.

Dont let them behind the curtain to the truth. They love to wallow in their delusions of rage.
