Doing research before voting in the midterm elections makes me wish for enlightened despotism instead of this circus that is called "democracy" but consists of the powerful using the ignorant to their advantage, while trying their best to keep what they actually do under wraps.
Take a look at the following act, which was passed: "HR 2083 - Endangered Salmon and Fisheries Predation Prevention Act". Before you continue reading, stop for a second and ask yourself what you think this act is about. Are you surprised that something that supposedly "helps" "endangered salmon" got passed?
In fact, the "Endangered Salmon and Fisheries Predation Prevention Act" is an act that authorizes the hunting of sea lions. Betcha didn't see that coming. Passed soon after that was "HR 200 - Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act". As you might guess, this act "increases catch limits". At this point, I don't think I need to spell things out for you, folks.
Then, I looked at what a Republican candidate (the Democrat is the incumbent here) stands for, and it is basically taking / keeping rights away from atheists, including the right to hold public office, further destroying the environment, as well as - yes, in 2018 - going back to not allowing gays to get married.
It is this kind of BS that made me hate Republicans in the first place. Republicans have long been the party of taking away rights. Now, I'm not sure if things have started to switch, or the Democrats have just joined the party. It seems like both parties want to take away rights and destroy the country, but just using different methods. For the Democrats' part, it is flooding the country with more people who can't be bothered to apply to enter legally, banning undesirable people from social media, and making mean comments a crime.
There is no way that I'd vote for that Republican who would take away my right to be a government official (even though that's not on my roadmap) or go back to when gays couldn't get married. At the same time, I refuse to be part of the "Blue Wave", and the Democrats have major problems, and just for spite with all of this media brainwashing, I will not do it.
That leaves me with not voting for either candidate. And there are more out there whom I don't know and whom I don't really want to bother to know. I've decided to just not vote for anyone who doesn't appeal to me or whom I don't know about. Sorry, I can't look into the comptroller's credentials and record.
My state IS introducing a freaking constitutional amendment that enshrines and protects hunting and fishing in the state constitution, including the totally ambiguous "traditional methods", which can include anything from serrated clamp traps to really whatever one can imagine that anyone has ever done before. Needless to say, I will vote against it, and it will still pass, because humans are evil. Of course, for 200+ years, we have not had an amendment like that, and people have hunted and fished...including using traditional methods...anyway. With this, it's not only the equivalent of allowing slavery. It's the equivalent of unnecessarily changing the constitution to say that "any kind of slavery, no matter how barbaric, is protected under the constitution".
Yeah, I'm guessing about 80% will go for it, changing the constitution just to make sure that hunters can use any method they like to kill their prey. And it's bipartisan, too. In the state senate (before being put on the ballot), it was Republican-backed, but more Democratic senators voted for it than voted against it. HERE is where we get the bipartisanship. And that tells me all I need to know about politics.
So yeah, I'm not a fan of the "blue wave", because it will just be more Russian-collusion conspiracy theorists with Trump Derangement Syndrome running around and trying to boot people off of social media who say some mean things about Islam. At the same time, reading about Republicans makes me realize just why I started hating them so much in the first place. A plague on both their houses. Bring in the (truly) "enlightened despot"...not Mark Zuckerberg who is only the second part of that phrase yet thinks he is the former.
