THE ELECTION

So, unless you live under a rock somewhere, you are well aware that Donald Trump won the presidency. You either watched all night for the results, have seen it on the news by now or have seen every millimeter of social media plastered with either disdain or complete satisfaction spewed from almost every single person. I’m over social media at this point, let me just say that! Where did we go wrong that we are condemning people to Hell in a hand basket because of their choice, their ideals and their actions over this election?!? I am appalled at what I am witnessing. You have Republicans on one side sticking their tongues out and saying haha, while you have democrats on the other literally telling people they will go to hell over their decision and how uneducated they are for their choice?!? Seriously?!? And there is actually a question of why we cannot come together as a country?!? You don’t say… SHOCKER!!

I am amazed at the things that have been said and done leading up to and through this election. We all have different backgrounds and beliefs. Why can’t we come to terms with that fact? I think being president of this great country is/would be a difficult task. People’s beliefs vary so drastically. I am sure there is not a president in your lifetime that you agreed with every thought and action 100% rather you voted for him or not. Because they are different than you and I. They handle things as they see fit and the way life has treated them. By the things I have read you are a dumb ass for voting for her or an uneducated idiot for voting for him. Who wins?!? In my opinion, we had two bad options… choose the best one that fits you. You may disagree… that’s fine! Hillary may have been the best president choice you had ever seen or maybe you felt that way about Trump. I am so glad you voted and felt that confident in your choice… Many did not.

I believe people should speak their minds! Tell me the truth! Don’t sugarcoat things, don’t be “politically correct” … but don’t be a slanderous asshole because of my belief and my right to do the same! Agree to disagree! That’s what made/makes/and will make America great! Not ONE individual. But people learning to co-exist. Also… DON’T RIDE THE COATTAILS OF YEARS GONE BY! Make the change you want to see in people. If you are one of the individuals spewing hate, condemning people to Hell and judging based on their right to choose… HOW ARE YOU ANY BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE YOU ARE JUDGING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Newsflash… YOU ARE NOT! BE THE CHANGE THAT YOU WANT! That is how this country will get better. If you think people are judging you because of your color, weight, profession, religion, etc. Show them who you are! When you spew hate… you showed them! When you stop, and change a tire for someone that you think would not give you the time of day… you showed them! When you reach out to make a difference… you showed them.  I can’t speak for everyone but I judge you based on what you show me… so show me your true colors! I don’t care if you favor cats over dogs, loved/hated Bush or Obama or you have beliefs that do not align with mine. Show me your character… that’s what I care about.

These are my thoughts on people’s words and actions since the results. The election was TOUGH to say the least. But the way people have reacted… that is heartbreaking. It makes me wonder if America will recover. People are so used to getting a trophy just for participation that they forgot what it was like if others disagreed and they ended up losing. Today is a sad day… Not because of who was elected but because of how everyone has reacted.

Faith! Hope! Love! Those are things people need to remember today. Because the Grace of God will be the only thing that helps us to win this internal war now.
