America has a new face. Even if Obama is Corporate Money or whatever criticism there might be, at least now things have really changed in a profound manner. Like a drunk saying No to a drink, America has redeemed itself a bit.

It felt like on top of all of life’s other damn problems, there was this force at the highest and deepest levels of the culture actively working to destroy you. I felt like I was in the crosshairs of that sniper rifle.

The threats from the ruling class and the hateful ignorance it cultivates are always there, no doubt. But today it feels like, finally, we’ve hit back. We’ve hit back hard.

So now that unneeded, additional pressure has been lifted. And even with this little time having passed, less than a day, it feels to me like we’ve walked out of that cell. And we can see now that it had an end. That the previous 8 years were a finite chapter, not the end itself.

You know what to do, you know how to proceed but you still feel like you need to get your bearings. You need to look at the ground to make sure it’s still there.

It’s not going to be an utopia, obviously. But we can at least breathe.
