As the Bush right wing steamroller clashes with Kerry in america, the world watches. Will the most powerful man in the world turn out to be an ape once more, barely capable of conversing with a child? Or will he be democrat, perhaps capable of logic, reasoning and governing the capitalist war machine that is america? It's looking likely to be the former. Go to any american forum, game, chatroom, whatever - and the liberals are outnumbered ten to one at least. The amount of facism rife in america is quite scary - they are quite probably the most homophobic country in the world, still racist and very xenophobic - your average right wing american hates Europe but still wants our help in their pathetic "War on Terror" and has the geographical knowledge of a newborn tortoise.
However, throughout this hate-fuelled empire of neon lights and McDonalds, liberalism has been on a slow rise - perhaps as america becomes more multicultural - but is it going to be enough to beat back the facists? This, I believe, could be more important to the rest of the world than ever before. Should Friend Bush stay in for another term... who knows what havoc he'll wreak, under the watchful but twisted gaze of his decrepid advisors? We'll be playing "guess the terrorist" again as Bush Jnr. randomly selects a "towelhead" country to invade. The excuse this time? "He looked at me funny" is just as likely as any... and sooner or later someone is going to get really pissed off with our simian friend. Should he step on the wrong person's toes, the whole world could suffer - I personally don't expect the world, at least as we know it, to last much longer if lunatics like Bush are in charge.
Can we, the Europeans, do anything about it? Not really. So was there any point in this post? Probably not, and I know some right wing lunatic will drop in to flame me a bit before wandering off to set fire to an orphanage, but I felt like I had to say something. What we can do is vote liberal in our own countries - and thus escape the clutch of Bush, should he win.
A democrat win in america is not completely impossible - but from what I've seen it looks to be unlikely. The facist warmongers are oblivious to reason, logic and the truth, and they'll support who they want to. Like all "empires" america prides strength above near everything else - but whereas liberalism supports strength of character, facism supports strength of arms and actions. History has shown that empires relying on the latter fall hard and fast, to the ruin of all involved, and I do not believe this should be any different with america, should the facists continue to reign supreme. So, is there any hope, for democracy and liberty? Only a fool's hope... but let us pray that that is enough.
