Hi everyone.
So as most of you should know the election was last night and Oklahoma was one of the few states that stayed completely red. I am very very mad.
Why am I mad when this should have been expected?
Because I actually had hope this time. I was stupid enough to expect that the uneducated fucks in my state would actually want some change in our state. Once again, I have been proven wrong. We are 50th in education for a reason. I inadvertently checked facebook this morning and saw a plethora of "we got them dems" and "we successfully kept the state red."
WHY IS IT ABOUT POLITICAL PARTY INSTEAD OF ACTUAL VALUES?????
If there was a republican candidate that had good values, I would gladly vote for them. But the people in my state are so fixated on the label of republican that they can't see that they are fucking themselves over and over again.
I can't even bring myself to celebrate the good candidates in other states because my state is not going to see any positive change.
My sister (13, in 7th grade) is struggling in school. She has no homework, is reading at a 4th grade level, and their state testing scores are abysmal. Is our new governor going to fix our education system? Of course not, because they want to keep us uneducated.
I'm not going to apologize for being political because this is something I am deeply passionate about. If your political candidate won, congratulations. At least one of us is celebrating.
Fuck Oklahoma. Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE.
Ugh, Im so sorry about this. Facebook is absolutely the worst when it comes to politics and people just making it about their political egos make it even worse. Its disgusting. I understand your pain being from the midwest but I know the southern states have it pretty rough.˙◠˙
ReplyDeleteI try not to engage or even look at it, but I had to ragebait myself ig. kind like how you have a bruise and you keep pressing it.
DeleteI live in Florida and i am not proud about us still being a red state. I think that people fail to realize how serious voting is. Florida is such an expensive state to live in and groceries are too expensive to afford. People complain but they do nothing to help make a change. I'm concerned about our rights, war, and ICE. I really wish people would see how much of an impact they make.
ReplyDeleteLITERALLY! Voting is so so so important and i hate that people just don't care because it "doesn't affect them." (even though it does).
