The day after an election, nothing happens. And the next day, nothing happens. And a week from now, nothing will have happened. And a month from now, nothing will have happened. And a year from now, nothing will have happened. And in the next election year something will happen...we'll have another election.
Politicians may change; they get elected, they waste time in office, they make promises they cannot or have no intentions to keep; they get old, they get comfy like your favorite Lazy Boy chair; sometimes they get thrown out of office and sometimes they die in it but really...nothing happens.
But in the next election year you'll convince yourself like every abused human does that this time will be different; this time you'll choose wisely and vote smarter and this guy won't be like the last. He'll care about you and won't hurt you the way others before him have hurt you.
And the day after the election, nothing will happen. And the next day nothing will happen. And a week later, nothing will have happened. And a year later, nothing will have happened. But I guess when you're used to being abused, a slap in the face is, well...nothing.
