How many convention speeches have you seen? How many promises? How many buzzes and highs and omg we are going to win and now things will change have you gone through?
I've gone through ENOUGH. |
Are you over 40? I thought you were in your mid 30s for some reason. It was joking anyway, but in some ways... maybe not.
I've seen a lot of politics. Both Kennedy's assasinated, Dr. King too. Wallace getting shot. The riots in Daly's Chicago. The Kent State shootings. Watts riots. Cities burning. Reagan's first term. Roe v. Wade. Stonewall. Vietnam, Libya, shit...
And that only covers US politics.
I was in Berlin when the wall came down. I have a fist-sized chunk sitting on a table in my living room. It was a hell of a party and I got drunk as a skunk that night.
So yeah, I have to chuckle a bit when you present as nihilistic "seen it all." While I sadly relate to the cynicism, none of us have seen it all in American politics yet... and if I was a religious person, I would pray that we never do.
