Victoria Jackson hasn't exactly been a beacon of rational political analysis, but her post-election meltdown on Twitter may take the cake. After Barack Obama was declared the winner, the former "SNL" castmember proclaimed that America had "died."

For context, Jackson is the actress who proclaimed that she would have a baby if impregnated through rape, uncovered a "secret, underground group" of Hollywood Republicans and said gay marriage would "make God mad."

But we digress. Here's Jackson (via an unverified Twitter account) on the outcome of the 2012 presidential election:

this girl's status made me lol today:

Today I feel sad. Sad about all the abortions that are still allowed to take place. Sad about the socialism healthcare that we are heading toward. Sad about the lack of morals our country stands for and the huge amount of debt that is going to continue to accumulate. I'm sad that my daughter and future children are growing up in a world where sin is not only accepted but celebrated. I have been and will continue to pray for President Obama - but today I'm especially thankful that I can place my faith, hope, and trust is in Jesus Christ.

I literally do not understand the pressedness over socialism.
sugarcrawler 7th-Nov-2012 10:59 pm (UTC)
most (if not all) of these ppl cant even define socialism
eccentricvibe 7th-Nov-2012 11:01 pm (UTC)
Me neither. Most of the people who throw around the word socialism don't even know what it means.

socialism has become a fox news buzzword to mean EVERYTHING BAD EVER. basically it's just sensationalism and fear mongering. most conservatives have no idea what socialism is.

Late, but the problem lies with education. Most people don't really understand socialism. They lump all these -ism's together; Marxism, socialism, communism, Leninism, Stalinism et al. without understanding the variation and nuance between them. They also associate these -ism's with an eradication of all religion and religious practices. People hear socialism, and immediately they are reminded of propaganda from the 1930s into the 1980s, which created some insane ideas about these ideologies in America. E.g. Scot Tissue ad that asks, Is your washroom breeding Bolsheviks? With the idea behind it that, soft and sturdy tissue paper will keep people happy and thus keep them from organizing and creating a "communist" uprising. Also, the idea that carrying soft tissue is the mark of a free and democratic company, unlike "communist" organizations that do not provide "luxuries" such as soft tissue. I could go on about this, but suffice to say that America's PR team did a hell of job with it's smear campaign, and now we are left with numerous misunderstandings and misconceptions about Socialism.

ngl ppl who are so into their faith like this they let it decide what political ideologies creep me out in a way, they got to learn that these sort of things should be secular. i remember some girl posting on my fb wall "if you dont have faith to decide who youre voting for..then what do you have?" i was like wtf srsly...

can we just start a fund for these people? build them their own city where they can do whatever the fuck they want.

some americans are so weird :/ why would any normal person be against healthcare? why are they so fucking terrified of socialism, when they don't even have any fucking clue what it means? why is everything humane considered "communist"? as a non-american it is just baffling to read about people with such a mindset

I don't understand why so many Americans hate your new healthcare law. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian and can go to the hospital for shits and giggles when I want to but I don't understand how people being able to be treated for cancer when they couldn't before is a bad thing.
