I'd like to Loeffler run again. Just for the lols.
I loathe Loeffler. But I have a grudging appreciation of candidates like her. They remind me of a lesson I have learned many times, but for some reason it just just does not stick with me.
Usually, if there is a candidate on the other side I would never vote for, I can at least understand why someone else might. But every once in a while, someone comes along where every fiber of their being just repulses me. Not just their viewpoints, but everything. Their look, their sound, manner, everything they have ever said or done.....just everything. Someone who even if they were in my party and the only one on the ticket, I would find a way to vote against them. The best way I can describe it is hatred.
When these people come along, I think to myself, there is just no way anyone but a fucking lunatic would vote for someone that despicable. Then of course they come along and get 49% of the vote.....or in some cases even win.
Now- If it were for a congressional seat, I don't give a shit. I know there are congressional districts in this country capable of electing the fucking antichrist. But that was a Senate race. 49% of the whole state voted for her. 49% in a state of 10 million. When that happens, it forces me to re-examine things a little. Because it means either 49% of Georgia are lunatics, there might be something I am not looking at objectively, or there is a particular sentiment going on that I have dramatically underestimated.
It does not always make me change my views. But it does make me think a little. So I thank Loeffler for that at least.
