Well, anyway, by the time it got ready to vote, it looked like a fella wouldn't be able to have no fun at all anymore, if my opponents were elected. About all a fella would be able to do, without getting arrested, was to drink sody-pop and maybe kiss his wife. And no one liked the idea very much, the wives included.
The protagonist expresses his concerns about the impending election and the potential changes it may bring to their way of life. He fears that if his opponents win, they will impose strict regulations that would limit personal freedoms and enjoyment. The tone suggests a sense of sarcasm as he contemplates a future where social interactions are heavily restricted.
This reflection highlights not only the individual's struggle against authority but also the sense of community pushback against overly controlling policies. The mention of mundane activities like drinking soda and kissing his wife underscores a longing for simple pleasures, suggesting that even these small joys may be diminished under a new regime.
