Well, it's Thanksgiving in the US this week, which means many of us will be seeing extended family for the first time since the election. And won't that be fun? I was really hopeful that we'd be able to move on, but I guess not. The losers are feeling raw and bereft. The winners are...angry? Threatening? Un-fucking-hinged?
Beats the hell out of me. My filters are gone again, and I'm afraid I don't really care. So this song is going out to the half of this very divided nation that's not being hateful--because hateful people suck. Also, since I truly believe that "A nation divided against itself cannot stand," I figure we're in for a rocky ride these next few years. So, let's all take a moment to be grateful for the fact that we're still standing...if not for long. Let's take a deep breath, because I'm sure we'll all need it. And, I don't know...have a nice meal?
By the way, that divided nation quote either originated with Lincoln, or with Sam Houston. Take your pick. Considering I'm currently living in Texas, I should probably be giving Home Boy the credit.
