Please don't leave the country because Bush won! If you think living in this country is going to be bad now, wait till there are no cool, reasonable, intelligent people left in it. Please, please don't leave.

Instead, enjoy the weekend, maybe even the rest of the month (I'm serious--we've all earned it), and contemplate how to help Bush become the president that Kerry could have been. Perhaps he's more accessible through this type of magic. I don't know, never having used it to positively influence Bush. But I think some of you tried it out during the debates.

It's something to think about.

i do not think such an approach will be very successful we need to organize

the christian coalition has taken over the country by becoming the best organized most entrenched political force in existance here

we need to work together to beat them and I do not mean just lithers I mean the whole of the mutant movement

Well, I don't know about anyone else but I was only joking about leaving the country... I'd never do that unless things got really REALLY bad, and to be honest I don't think it'll get that bad.

I think it's a good idea to focus magickal workings from this point on on lessening the damage and increasing the compassion of the Bush administration. The inauguration is a good ceremonial place to do some workings...

Remember, even Sir Miles in The Invisibles, evil as he was, got his aura back from Dane.

Sir Miles also became the sacrifice in the end.

I'm going to draw up a picture of Bush as the Hanged Man...

Don't even dare compare Bush to Sir Miles until he at least grows a bad-ass moustache that changes colors every few minutes.

(So, we need to open the eyes of the christian Fundamentalists and alter the course of the neocon shadow government. Meanwhile, dissenters are arrested, thrown out of public discourse, not shown in the media...

(Ummm, right. We have no voice, no credibility, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what our power-base might be.)

Actually on-topic... Bush wants to do good. How do we shift his definition of good? How do we drive home the point that good Christisn compassion means a whole lot more than just praying for someone?

His determination and single-mindedness are truly awe-inspiring; I'd love to get it pointed in a more useful direction.

(Veering wildly off-topic again - anybody want to influence who he picks as the next Vice Pres to groom for the following 4-8 years when Cheney steps down due to "health reasons"?)

On the occult revolt thread, several posters are claiming that fundamentalist christians run the country. What do they have that we don't? Please don't say Jesus. Is it because there are millions of them and they all voted? Of course occultists/magicians/whatever name you like aren't as numerous as fundamentalists, but if their magic works better than ours, why is that? I would like to know, just out of curiosity.

Personally, I think the work we did for Kerry was totally worthwhile, and you can't say it didn't work, because it's only been two days since the election. Who can say what the fallout will be?

Instead of trying to make Bush die or vaporize the administration with the power of my hatred and anger, I am going to do my best to make him wake up and notice the other half of the country--the half that didn't vote for him. Maybe, just maybe, he will.

Yesterday at work, there were people walking around complaining and fuming, yet all they really came up with was "Bush sucks." Okay, how would you like to help him not suck? I have to echo others on the occult revolt thread who said, in essence, that by changing yourself you change the world.

Here's one thing the Christians have: the President's P.I.T. crew

Bah.

What do they have that we don't?

Absolute certainty that what they're doing has the Almighty's Stamp of Approval...
