What bothers me even more than the exposed racism is the subsequent naivete. It lead our family members to eat up every piece of crap the fat bastards (read: republicans) hurled at Obama. Elitist? Socialist? Terrorist? Racist? Are you f-ing kidding me? Had the same blatantly ridiculous tactics been used against a white candidate (regardless of their position on the political scale), these unmasked KKK would have been insulted that the fat bastards thought they would buy it. Instead, they’ve been eating it up and still believe it!!

I know dirt-throwing tactics have been around since Eve & Eve, but the portrait of Obama painted by the fat bastards was done so in such an elementary fashion, you’d have to be 5 years old to believe it, and then it would only be because you have sh#@ty parents.

Luckily (and I know they’re our families), they’re not in control anymore. Their time is over, and the country is in our young hands now. We are on the eve of unbelievable change, and the world knows it.

p.s. f-ing California! Now I’m going to have to move my entire gay-rights operation to the West Coast.

I’m printing out transcripts of Obama’s speech and McCain’s concession speech for my grandma, in hopes that she–a lifelong Dem who went for McCain probably because of my aunt quoting email forwards to her (terrorism!)–will see that we’re going to be okay. This Thanksgiving is going to be painful for me. I’m going to bring my own bottle of wine and pray that the weather is nice enough to sit out on the deck with my cousin’s baby daddy. Ah, “Real America.”
