Red and Blue

It is pretty bizarre to me how big a part of news media aimed at me consists of US politics. Even UK politics ought not to effect me that much, given that Guernsey is self-governing, but I can forgive people here an interest in our mainland counterparts. American politics on the other hand... is thousands of miles away. I hope it will never really effect me, and I suspect it will certainly never meaningful change my existence unless we enter some kind of mutually-assured-destruction scenario.

With that being said, I have in general pretty liberal views, and more and more governments across the world seem to be shifting to the right. I think this is, uh, bad. Because it's incongruent with my views, and I'm a bit worried about what's going to become of humanity as a species if our societies shift that way. I don't really know anything about anything though, so I probably don't really get to have an opinion on the subject of politics.

With all that being said, I read a little about the results of the US mid terms today, and in general it seemed positive for us liberal snowflakes. So, good job everybody.
