I remember the night of the 2008 election, when Obama won, I was part of the collective sigh of relief across the nation. I remember thinking, "now things are finally going to change," and feeling genuinely hopeful.
To my credit, the country was psychotic under Bush, at least until 2006. And then the Great Recession happened, and it was worse.
I remember the entire 8 years after Obama's HOPE campaign where it feels like mostly nothing really happened, except perhaps gay marriage, but you know everything else kind of got worse.
The gays got married
And released gay spores
And all the straight people
Weren't in love no more
'cause them gays got married
