Uh, no shit? Just once I'd like to hear an opinion person say that an election shows that Americans want a government that fucks them over. Sure, it would be inaccurate, but at least it wouldn't be someone stating the obvious and using it as a foundation for whatever ideological stance they picked before the election.
