I’ve been really upset and frustrated lately. And, I needed a place to write my thoughts. So, here it goes.
how someone who purposely divides people can be considered a leader
how someone who claims they follow the Bible can be so quick to judge someone else.
how someone who believes in freedom of speech can be so quick to shut someone up who doesn’t have the same opinion.
how someone claims that they are pro-life but celebrates striping all funding from programs that help children and families.
how someone can raise the American flag high celebrating freedom, yet is okay with unlawfully deporting those who are different than them.
how someone can straight up lie to the American people and so many people still believe him/her.
how someone is okay with being told all media tells lies, except for this one, that only says what that one person wants it to say. Do you want to hear the truth? Or only confirm what you believe?
how you are okay with what is going on today.
I never will be. I saw this coming. I tried to speak, but many chose not to listen. Many still choose not to listen.
This is not the America I believe in.
This is not Freedom.
I’m not ok.
The question is, are you?
Are you ok with what’s happening?
how someone so divisive can unite a country?
how those who preach God’s love can be so hurtful and judgmental to another?
why the current leadership is so quick to silent, bully and condemn those who don’t agree with them (instead of simply listening, and hearing)?
the contradiction in claiming you are “pro-life” but not supporting the programs that help provide life?
that freedom doesn’t apply just to you, or those who look, act and believe like you? Freedom is freedom for all, no matter what they look like, where they were born or who they worship or what they believe.
how you teach your children (and grandchildren) not to lie. But make excuses for the lies your leadership tells you?
how dangerous it is to only have one major “trusted” media source? And do you understand podcasts and blogs aren’t a good non-bias source of information?
I can hear many of your arguments now. But take a good hard look at those arguments. They’re either 1. Excuses or 2. Denials. Really.
Being “buddies” with Russia isn’t going to make us stronger.
Not having a “big government” isn’t going to help the middle class or low class.
When every excuse is “The Liberal Media” or “The Liberal Colleges” or “The Liberal Idiots” we all know you’ve been brainwashed. I’m not sure what it will take to unbrainwash you, because honestly a lot of this shit already should have. But it didn’t. And you’re still here. And you’re still thinking I’m a Liberal idiot who only listens to liberal media and went to a liberal college and I’m your enemy. But am I? Did I say anything here that is offensive? That isn’t true?
I’ve been fighting and working to bring community together. I volunteer on a million things. Because that’s what I believe in. A community is stronger when they’re united. But clearly you don’t see it that way, or you would agree, a divisive leader isn’t the answer.
So please, take some actions and show me – how will this divide “Make America Great Again”? How will pinning one another against each other make us economically stronger? How will it make us emotionally stronger?
When was America great anyway? Who goes backwards in time to make things better anyway? Since when was that a good idea?

Well said. Couldn’t have done it much better.
