I have started this blog so many times. Posting about politics is not always a good idea. However, we live in America where we have Freedom of Speech. So everyone is entitled to say what they want, vote how they want and feel how they want. I also feel that if you make a political post, you need to be able to handle any negative comments that come your way. Whether you engage or reply to those negative comments is up to you. You control YOUR actions and words. You can't control someone else's. With that being said.....
I am a Trump supporter. (I am even a college-educated woman, and I still voted for him!) I am not scared of him being the President. Does he have the experience he needs, no. Does he say the correct things, no. Does he have the best past, no. Has he done things that are inappropriate, yes. I voted for him because looking at the bigger picture I agreed with more of his views that I did Hillary's. I did more research and reading on this years candidates that I ever have. I will tell you, I probably would not of voted for Hillary regardless of who she was up against. It has nothing to do with her being a woman. It had to do with her opinions and her plans.
I am upset that people question me as a parent allowing my child to support Trump. First off, my child does not have to like who I like. (Great thing about America, you get your own opinion) I didn't vote Trump because my parents like him. I formed my own opinion before I even knew who my parents liked. Secondly, being a parent is a tough job, you always question yourself, so I don't need someone else to question me, I am already doing that! The comments I keep seeing is "I can't believe any parent would let their child support or like someone who is a racist, sexiest, rude jerk!" I even like this comment "How can we raise our children in a World that the President says rude, racist, sexiest comments, and he isn't even kind, that is not a good role model!" I am raising my kids to be kind, nice, respectful people. Just because Donald Trump said something does not mean my children will say that. It does not mean that my child will grow up to be those same things because he is the President. My children know to treat all people with respect. They know to not make fun of someone, they know we all are equal. Trump being President does not throw those things out the window that I have spent years teaching them. Does your child like Kanye West? Does your child like Miley Cyrus? Just because someone likes them doesn't mean they are going to run on stage and disrespect someone who was awarded something or hang from a wrecking ball half naked. If you teach your child right from wrong, then what those people do should not change how your child behaves. (Kayne and Miley were the ones that came to mind first for my examples, there are plenty more that I could of used.)
I don't feel that people need to be burning the flag and protesting. What good does that do anyone? I will never be able to wrap my mind around how someone can be so mad they turn to burning the flag. The students walking out of school to protest....left me speechless. Colleges and Universities closing down so students can cope? Seriously?!
Is Canada a better country to live in than the US? Is any other country better than the US? I am only asking because I am proud to live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and would not dream of raising my family anywhere else just because of who the President is, so why do you all feel the need to leave? I was completely against Obama but not once did I say I was leaving the country. I managed to live just fine raising my family under Obama....for 8 long years. (that was a funny, you are suppose to laugh)
So far I am impressed with Trump. His acceptance speech was very sincere and from the heart. (Yet the media still finds way to knock by commenting how he didn't Thank Pence and how his son couldn't stay awake....do you realize what time it was??) Let's focus on his actions so far after being elected. I pray that he does turn America around. I hope we get the chance to say "he made America great again!"
