just got home from voting. i'm fully blackpilled on conservatives.  for context, i live in a small city in the south. so, deep red. i've been driving by the auditorium where early voting takes place for the last few days now, and every day it's been packed. entire parking lot full. that's odd, i thought. it's not usually like this, especially with early voting. it actually got me kinda worried, that the trumples feel that energized. well, today i had a hole in my schedule so i said fuck it, i'll just tank the wait. sure enough, was waiting in line for almost 30 minutes. when i finally got in, i found out why things were taking so long. it was because they switched to using fucking hand-marked paper ballots. i've been voting in that building for my entire adult life, and today was the first day i've ever filled out a ballot by hand. are they really so fucking scared, so fucking stupid to think the big bad dnc is coming for their votes in the middle of bumfuck nowhere? it actually broke a little something inside of me, to see it in person. in reality. usually, politics doesn't come up much. intellectually, i know that if me and my coworkers/neighbors started talking about it i'd expect them to say some wild shit, and they do every now and then, but even then it's just words. i expect people to say stupid shit, especially people who aren't very political. so to see it actually manifest in a tangible way, in person, that yes they really are that dumb, it's got me all fucked up.
