I am sure there are some devoted people out there that care every time a mid-term election comes along, and I am sure that every American you know is probably telling you that "they always vote in the midterms" ... which is a silly thing to lie about but whatever floats your boat buddy.
A lot of people are saying that this mid-term election is so important because if the reds win it Trump will have an easier time getting things passed in Congress, which is great or not great depending on how you view things. The Blues, if victorious will be able to fight these sorts of actions better if their side wins. I am sure there are some very delisional people out there that thing if the Democrats win they will be able to remove Trump from office but if you meet anyone like that you can go ahead and slap them for me because no, that is not what is going to happen. It is exceptionally difficult to remove a president from office, even Nixon chose to resign and had he not, likely would not have been removed from office. During most of our lifetimes we have only seen Billy Clinton get impeached and remember how he was removed from office after that? Yeah, me neither.
I for one will just be happy to see when the side of the road doesn't look like this everywhere you go. What a waste of paper and metal anyway. Do you really think that there is anyone out there that hasn't already made up their minds? If you are able to find that 1% of the population that hasn't decided yet do you 1) think they are going to vote at all and 2) are going to be influenced by your stupid yard sign?
I have a far more pessimistic view about all this because even though I did vote, i am not hopeful about anything changing at all no matter what the outcome is. I honestly believe everyone is going to continue whining, everyone is going to continue to do everything they can to blockade any sort of progress, and everyone is going to grandstand and make up lies about the other guy... maybe throw in a new wave of sexual harassment allegations just to keep things uncomfortably interesting.
After this thing is over tomorrow night, there will be some people celebrating claiming that their side won, only to wait a few months to realize that nothing has changed at all. Then I suppose the morons in Portland will take to the streets to block public transport and bust out the windows at Starbucks. You know, because that really helps.
