38. Bullshit, woo me with science
"You have Newspeak down, but you can't change the facts."
Don't get mad that your propaganda doesn't work on everyone. I'm not going to post a "blue link" to distract you, but again, here's a reality check: Any, and I mean any, deal out of Congress is going to suck in some ways. You don't have to be happy, but don't pretend there is an alternative. I mean, you can close your eyes and pretend that Republicans don't exist and that they're not the majority in the House. You can also play a game in your head where you envision them doing anything to make you happy. There are only three things coming out of this Congress: a half-bad (or half-good depending on your perspective) deal, a bad deal or nothing. You can push for nothing if it's bad, but for the rest you have to decide what's good enough to accept. If that's unacceptable, go back to pushing for nothing. That's the reality. You can scream "bullshit" all day long, but you can't change reality. |
