Come Wednesday, the election will be over. An annoying nightmare that no one can escape from. Want to watch a video on YouTube? Hang on, let me tell you how much of a filthy pig Donald Trump is. Trying to watch a hockey or basketball game? Did I mention how much of a security risk Hillary Clinton is? The list goes on, and no form of media outlet is safe from this.
In fact, it has been like a broken faucet. It started out as just a slow drip. You were slightly alarmed, but it wasn't horrifying. You could hardly notice it. As the campaigns went on, that drip became even more constant. It is constantly in your ear, causing your calm, tranquil pond of a day to ripple. It drives you insane, but you can't call anyone to fix it. It is too late for that, so you are left with the choice of fix it yourself with what limited knowledge you possess, or wait until morning and see what the repairman is going to charge you. Point of this tangent, if you can vote, don't complain about the effects (in the example, the bill) if you don't plan on at least trying something (meaning vote).
So, on Wednesday, all the ads and propaganda will no longer be needed. What are these news networks and social media sites going to do? They can't talk about the election campaigns anymore. They have no one left to promote. How do we move forward? What will take their spot?
I'm not entirely sure, but I certainly hope it will be more beneficial than those stupid commercials. I honestly don't think there is anything more cancerous to our society than those mudslinging ads. They never address how anyone will solve an issue, they simply point out that someone "supported" an issue, therefore their opponent deserves your vote.
Maybe those advertisements could be replaced by Beatles' songs for thirty seconds, or even a clip of puppies doing puppy things. Something that can calm people down, for once. I doubt that will happen, but I can dream. Of course, if it did happen, they would probably get replaced by commercials saying how the Beatles were a group of liberals that supported ISIS and Russia, and that CCR should get the 30 seconds of music time instead. Dog lovers would get shamed for supporting such a video because of animals' rights, or that they discriminate against cats. The dogs would then try and spin it that they are okay with cats, maybe have some cats in the next ad, and we are all right back in the middle of the controversy.
One thing is for sure, America might want to hire a cleaning service after all is said and done. With all this dirt getting slung around, it might be a good idea to do clean up some of the mess left by the campaigns.
