Better to be loved or feared?

I hate elections season. Thank goodness I arrived during elections season so that I could establish this hatred early. What would I do if I didn’t have something to dislike with fervor immediately?

Rather than a barrage of television ads hating on each other, the Japanese politicians go around the neighborhoods with giant bullhorns and speakers mounted on cars. They are allowed to do this from 8 fucking am until around dinner time. I’m not working yet. I love to sleep past 8am. Thank fucking goodness there was one parked right outside my apartment for several minutes. Otherwise, I might have slept in another unreasonable hour or so.

Fuck, I can hear one in the distance as I type this. The only good thing about this situation is that I can’t understand anything they are saying yet. Otherwise, it would be really annoying.

I really want to see two of them crash into each other and then get into a fight over the loudspeakers. That would be most amusing.
