I really was just kidding. I don't for one second think all Republicans would riot in the streets, but I do remember a bunch of screaming idiots scaring the shit out of the vote counters in Florida four years ago. When I imagine what would have happened if Gore had taken office under the same taint as Bush did I can't help but shudder. Sorry.

Me paranoid? What about the fucking Bush campaign? Kicking women out of a rally for wearing T-shirts that read "Protect our civil liberties."? Do most Republicans find protecting civil liberties repugnant? I would hope they would be completely aghast at the actions of the current administration since they've taken office. They've fomented more divisiveness than anyone in my memory.

Just for the record, I voted Libertarian in five of the last six national elections, including 2000, the exception being Perot in 1992. I'm only reacting to what I saw in 2000 and ever since. I feel my fears are rational, but they may be coming from some dark place in my mind. I hope I'm wrong about all of it. Really.
