In a vote that gives one collective tobacco-stained middle finger to Lincoln, that bitch-goddess Secretary of State, Hillary 'Seward' Clinton and the rest of his merry band of politically correct, cosmopolitan imperialists, the people of the state of Georgia have decided that one month of change is one month too long.
Their plebescite read, in an accent of amalgamated plain, plateau and mountain twangs,
"We the people of the State of Georgia promise to reinforce the stereotypical image of the American South as an homogenous mass of ignorance and in doing so we will make every endeavour to ensure that the next four years will be every bit as successful as Andrew Johnson's failed Reconstruction project."
Start to the year! 365 days of green!

Placing your hope in Georgia was, in the first instance, maybe tinged with a touch of proximity bias. I don't mean to descend into identity politics, but still: a place ruled by supplemental maxims which have barely changed since those Middle Passage days is not going to spill upon the world an Event; a rupture; new truths.
Of course the election of a democratic senator could hardly be described as an Event. Indeed the Event may be the inverse, the immediate rejection of the equally absurd notion of ruptures driven through history by the spectacle of electoral politics. My intent is merely to reveal the clash of atavisms perpetuated throughout American history, recycled as so many Events.
One day I hope to reveal something as well. I may end up in jail; take that in what way you will.
