I maintained the blog between October 24, 2008 and January 1, 2013. Obviously those dates are significant from a political standpoint: The presidential elections of 2008 and 2012 get quite a bit of attention.
I'm linking a couple of my responses to President Obama's re-election in 2012.
A Terrible, Horrible, Mistake (Election Day, November 6, 2012)
Because (The Day After, November 7, 2012).As you can tell, I was devastated. But what's interesting (to me) is that my reactions are really not much different from the reaction I'm hearing from people this week. Maybe not as over-the-top. And it wouldn't have occurred to me to protest. And I didn't curse (I don't think. Maybe once). But the emotion, the despair...
Plus les choses changent, plus elles restent les mêmes.
