    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.

      Lol this is mine too. Voted for Obama on 2008 and actually put stock into it. By 2010 I was convinced the only way for anything to change was via the destruction of the US state as we know it and I haven't looked back

      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.
