honestly? 5 year old me was right
#text#i miss her she was going places#changing her favorite color 15+ times in a day....an icon#no idea who or what a 'politics' was but hated george bush bc he was gross#ilana says stuff#also something about bush being bad bc he was in the army and killed people?#and then like...going through the whole process of being taught 'actually america's the Good Guys(tm) so us killing people is good actually'#and then realizing that whole thing was bullshit and 5 year old me had the right idea#anyway this post brought to you by me trying to remember my childhood lmao#and like thinking abt how Aware of things i was during elections n stuff#truly wild to think abt like...i remember when i was 9 thinking it would be cool to have a woman president#and was a lil disappointed when hillary wasn't the nominee#i didn't really Know things i just thought it would be cool to have a president w/ something in common with me#realized obama's election was also a big deal that way for a lot of people and thought he was a cool guy#i remember watching his inauguration in school#and then by 2012 i was already on this hellsite liveblogging election night lmao#at a point where like....i wasn't Super knowledgeable but i did know some things and that i hated romney#at a point where like i didn't know A Lot but we did learn about election stuff in school#and i knew i agreed with obama on more stuff than i did with romney#i thought romney was stupid but like....in a fun meme-y way#at that point iw as thinking like....democrats good. republicans bad#which made things a little weird when one of my friends had a family that was Very republican#and at that age a lot of kids just believe what their parents believe#i remember like being a lil upset with her for voting for romney in the mock election but i don't think i said anything#(also vaguely remember at one point her dad getting annoyed by same love on the radio bc it had a line dissing conservatives)#(which you know....Yikes lmao)#anyway then by 2016 i actually had started like....really trying to educate myself and understand stuff#and my birthday was 2 days before election day so i actually got to vote#tho i couldn't vote in the primaries but i did prefer bernie#anyway just weird to think abt how i went from 2008 to actually voting for hillary in 2016
