Can't We All Just Get Along?! An open letter to Democrats...
Dear Democrats, Socialists, and Liberals,
I know that many of you are upset. Some are scared. Some are hurt. Some are outraged. Here's the thing, though...
The election is over. The USA is preparing to inaugurate one Donald J. Trump as the Commander and Chief of the free world....and it seems like you guys can't handle it.
Life lesson moment: It honestly doesn't matter what you FEEL about the situation.
For many of you, this is your very first time to participate in the electoral process, and I'm here to tell you, it can sometimes sting. Many are screaming about how unfair the process of electoral college is, since apparantly Clinton won the popular vote.
There are real, valid reasons...Here is a link to a short video explaining why we do it this way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6s7jB6-GoU#action=share
I know that , for me, it wasn't easy watching Barack Obama get into office the first time...It was awful to see him re-elected after knowing what type of president he would make.
HOWEVER, despite my disagreements with his choices, he was the President of the United States, and that office deserves a certain level of respect and honor. In that same way, I ask that you now respect the democratic process and apply that same level of respect to our new leader.
You don't have to agree with him! You don't have to agree with me, but you DO have to accept the fact that, as Americans, we are in this ship together...and if you set fires, ruin friendships, and cause chaos because you didn't get your way, you will sink it.
We might as well try to get along. Please use some of that tolerance you speak of so frequently to be tolerant of those with a different opinion. Many of you have said some horrid things to people who voted for Trump.
No one is perfect. The two front running candidates in this election both have more skeletons in their closet than the Manson estate. Do NOT pretend that your candidate was somehow more noble. It simply isn't true.
Remember, anyone can accuse people of anything, but we must rely on FACTS to discern truth.
With that being said, you weren't given a fair look at the candidates. The media was very slanted for your girl. They sheltered you from the negative surrounding Clinton and blasted you inflated slander of Trump.
Here is a clip of that locker room video where Trump talked of groping a lady. What I actually found MORE offensive, was the idea that he hit on a married woman, but we know from Clinton that a move like that (Especially YEARS prior) doesn't necessarily disqualify you from presidency....AND He did apologize! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWD-IQnqrXc
Clearly, if you are honest, this is not a man actually contemplating grabbing her...This is called a hyperbole. It is a poetry term used to express an extreme for emphasis.
Here is another example of a hyperbole: Hillary Clinton can get away with anything! She could walk up and shoot someone in the face and not go to jail!
Now...Am I actually suggesting that Clinton would walk up and shoot someone?! NO...It's a hyperbole. Plus....and I CAN'T emphasize this enough....He APOLOGIZED! I'm not trying to convince you to like him, but stop lying about him....So if you truly are tolerant people, then forgive.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA597Kn5iPk
As we move forward, we need to look toward a positive future.
For those of us who are elated with the shift in Washington's elite, but also to those who are not happy with the result...Trust in the process. The checks and balances system is in place to keep the president (or congress or the courts) from having too much power. Trump can't just start dictating orders because he is president.
In closing, these things happen.
Before you continue to burn down the establishment, I ask that you wait and see what his presidency brings. I truly don't think it will be as bad as you fear.
With the creation of more jobs, cheaper private insurance, and lower taxes, you might even like it!
