I think the last five years plus the fifteen year build-up to this proves that politics can never be boring again. Boring is what got us here. It is going to be a constant effort to remove the people in government who want to blow it up from the inside on top of fending off the people who want to blow it up from the outside.
Politics can never again be that blasé thing that you think about every four years when it's time to vote for President. Every vote counts, and every race counts. Get involved. I told my wife this morning that I'm going to be calling and emailing my reps every day about issues that I feel they should care about more, and I hope that all of you - or at least most of you - can see why that's important and feel strongly enough to do the same. Or at least something similar, even if it's a form letter that someone else has already put together and you're just signing your name to it.
This is important, more important than it's ever been. I'm not about to run for office - crowds of people? fuck right off - but I'm going to do the best I can to make sure I know what's going on locally and find a way to support it or fight it, whichever is appropriate.
