In reply to the discussion: Why do I get the feeling the US just avoided electing an anti-christ? [View all]LeftInTX
(24,560 posts)29. My husband thinks I'm a little nuts for sharing similar feelings.
I don't think Romney's the anti-Christ, but I feel we dodged a bullet. I think coming off 8 years of getting messed up with Bush, then only 4 years of Obama, and then to someone who is worse than Bush, I don't know how bad it would have been.
My gut feeling about Romney was really bad. I feel I've got pretty good intuition.
I often wonder if independent voters got the same horrible vibes that I got? President Obama won the popular vote by only a few points, so I don't know.
I also had a horrible feeling about Reagan, but obviously the majority of voters did not share my feelings.
I didn't get a horrible feeling about Bush, but the horror wasn't Bush - it was Cheney.

Don't know about anti-Christ, but I do think this country came close to electing a fascist.
