So uhm, basically I'm scared shitless and I foolishly didn't expect this.

Thank you, to those LJ people who are residents of the USA and have shown me a side of the people in your country I wasn't all that aware of a couple of years ago. Fact of the matter is that because I've seen so many lovely, reasonable, intelligent, caring Americans around here, I kind of began to think you were in the majority.

I guess I was wrong.

that is exactly what i thought about on my busride home. i was really quite sure kerry would win, because who would vote for bush, really (i. don't. get. it.)? all the americans i know wouldn't.
and then they were interviewing people on the radio and they were all like americans are like this, americans are like that, and i just thought NO! they are not! i know americans who are different. well. bleh.

Exactly! I must say, before I became active on the internet, I had a pretty warped idea of what 'The American' was like. I'm happy to have met so many good people here, and I'm still sure a lot of the people who voted for Bush are basically good people too, they're just very misguided (there's always the group who votes for Bush because they're selfish, intolerant fools, but I like to think that group really is a minority).
