The end of useless commentators

It’s official. President Barack Obama has been reelected.

It’s been a crazy campaign with way too much drama, and I’m happy to say it’s all finally finished.

While I’m glad to see all the vicious campaign advertisements and political fighting finally stopping, I’m really ecstatic about being able to push people like Donald Trump back to where they belong — obscurity.

If Trump’s rant on Twitter last week about Obama winning the election is a reminder of anything, it’s that money can’t buy intelligence.

Before the ultra-liberal California was even called, Trump exploded his rage on Twitter about what he thought was the president’s win of the electoral college, but loss of the popular vote.

He even went so far as to demand people to march in Washington, D.C., calling for some kind of revolution against the government.

Of course, Obama went on to win both the popular and electoral votes, again showing Trump to be the reactionary ass clown he’s always been.

But Trump wasn’t alone in his tirade against what was clearly a fair, democratic election. Detroit musician Ted Nugent also had some choice words for the president.

He said America had committed “spiritual suicide” by voting for Obama.

Personally, it’s a little hard for me to think of Nugent as a spiritual leader considering he adopted his 17-year-old girlfriend back in 1978 so he could keep having sex with her.

But creepy pseudo-incest aside, I’m extremely happy to see useless commentators like Nugent and Trump slink back to their respective areas of expertise.

Sure, Trump is going to keep waking up every morning with more money in his bank account than I’ll ever see in my entire life. Nugent will still be better at slaying the guitar than I’ll be in anything that I ever do.

The only difference will be that I won’t have to listen to their half-formed reactionary political ideologies for at least the next four years. And to be honest, that means everything in the world to me.
