You tell your
kids to "be kind" , "don’t be a bully", "respect one another".
You tell your
kids, "don’t be a bigot".
You tell your
kids "it's not okay to discriminate because of the color of one's skin or
where someone comes from"
And then
America votes for a man who is the poster child for Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan
to be the next President of the United States of American.
In my opinion
"Election Day 2016" is one of the darkest days in American history.
If you voted
for Donald Trump, shame on you. You are the antithesis of my America. You are
the antithesis of "loving thy neighbor". Unfortunately you have
forgotten the United States is a melting pot. The human race is much grander
than the land mass called the USA. You are selfish and a replica of the
man you voted for. I hope you can take pride knowing this.
Please take a moment to read these two posts I came across; If you voted for Trump, I hope these shed some light:
I have lived for more than 50
years. I remember the Vietnam War, Watergate, the economic stagnation and
international humiliation of the 1970s, the "greed is good" days of
the 80s, and, of course, the Clinton scandals of the 1990s and the GW Bush
disaster of the 2000s. But, until now, I have never been ashamed to be an
American. I always believed that, whether Democrat or Republican, our
Presidents were basically good people who were reasonable and thoughtful, even
if I did not agree with them. Donald Trump is not reasonable. He is not
thoughtful. He is a fraudster, a thief, a man who has done business with the
mob, a racist, a sexual predator, a misogynist who thinks women are here only
to serve him, a fool who knows nothing of the world and has no curiosity about
it, and a smug, self-satisfied rich boy at heart who has never had to work for
anything in his life. Moreover, he has said he likes the idea of some dictatorship
in our great nation. No, we will not come out of this unscathed. Our countrymen
of color, our sisters and mothers and wives and daughters, our armed forces who
will bear the price of the wars this arrogant idiot starts . . . they are only
the tip of the long line of victims this misguided decision to elect a truly
evil man will create. I cry for my country. I cry for our heritage and our
history that has been forgotten and forsaken and dishonored. And I do not
believe that all who voted for Trump are good and decent people. Some may be.
Others are enablers of all the awful things that will now occur as the direct,
predictable, well-understood, and inevitable result of their actions. -Hank

If you're a Trump voter who is tired of being called a bigot, if you say you
voted for him based on gun rights or economic issues, or because you think
Hillary really was that awful, and in spite of his rhetoric, rather than
because of it, I believe you. If you're in my life, I clearly don't think you're
a vile hateful person. But if you're now watching protests across the country
and you don't understand why, or think they are just being sore losers, let me
break something down for you. These people aren't just angry or sad that
someone they didn't support won the election, they're scared.
They're black Americans who hear
talk of law and order and remember a racially charged stop and frisk program,
or see an emboldened KKK holding a celebratory parade.
They're Muslim Americans who
worry that spitting in their face is now okay and violations of their rights to
assemble and their rights to privacy are about to come.
They're LGBT Americans who fear
not just of the loss of marriage rights or restaurants gaining the right not to
serve them, but of an administration that thinks it's more important to
research electrocuting the gay out of them than AIDS.
They're Hispanic and Latino
Americans who are scared their children will be bullied in schools, and their
families ripped apart while their culture is mocked.
They're women who are wondering
if we've normalized groping, and if their career endeavors will be judged by
their face and body, and not their minds
I believe you when you say you
didn't vote for any of these things. Most of America wasn't thrilled with the
choices we had in this election. But If you didn't know that this is why
they're protesting, if you think it's really just about free tuition or more
government giveaways, then you, like the elite liberals you love to castigate,
have also not been listening. If you're tired of being called a bigot, then you
need to use the same voice you used on Tuesday and speak out against these
things fully and clearly. It's not enough that you didn't say them yourself.
You need to reassure your friends and family members who feel like they no
longer have a seat at the table that you still stand with them, even if your
priorities were different on Tuesday. If you aren't willing to do that, then
you have no right to call for unity. -Angelo Mol-hem (via Twitter)
If you voted for Hillary Clinton, thank you. Although
not the perfect candidate she IS the best candidate to protect our
Nation.
If you voted for Donald Trump please let me know so I can
remove myself from your presence. Yes, I am that angry.
