sore winners

I’m confused. Bush has a mandate with, er, from America. He won the election, but the Right’s still complaining like it’s 1999. Here’s the latest from a not-so-compassionate conservative:

  • BUSH USA is predominantly white; devoutly Christian (mostly Protestant); openly, vigorously heterosexual; an open land of single-family homes and ranches; economically sound (except for a few farms), but not drunk with cyberworld business development, and mainly English-speaking, with a predilection for respectfully uttering “yes, ma’am” and “yes, sir.”
  • GORE/KERRY USA is ethnically diverse; multi-religious, irreligious or nastily antireligious; more sexually liberated (if not in actual practice, certainly in attitude); awash with condo canyons and other high-end real estate bordered by sprawling, squalid public housing or neglected private homes, decidedly short of middle-class neighborhoods; both high tech and oddly primitive in its commerce; very artsy, and Babelesque, with abnormally loud speakers.

Does the author think that proposing an ideological civil war is really the solution? Is this what Bush meant by starting the healing? The country is almost evenly divided between people who voted for Bush and those who voted for Kerry. White and Protestant, what happened to the Anglo-Saxons over the last century? But still anglophone and there’s no need for those loud speakers of Babelese. Sad and strange, it’s going to be a long four years.
