I've tried to stay out of the political world for as long as I possibly could, even though politics are my secret guilty pleasure. With that being said, I'm basically done at this point. There really is nothing more that I can say, but I'm going to try to explain my point of view regarding events that have happened the past couple of days in a peaceful, loving way.
Let me preface all of this with the fact that I did NOT vote for Donald Trump. I would never be that horrible of a person. I planned on putting a shameless plug for Jill Stein here, but I didn't come up with anything catchy. I probably could have found a good meme online, but Jill Stein is the woman.
Living in 2017, it's almost a sin not to be a feminist, which I don't know how I feel about that exactly, but that's a topic for another article. That's not to say that I'm not a feminist because I'm a pretty flaming feminist in regards to women's rights. But...
Before we all condemn Trump to the horrible he is sure to ensue, let's give him the chance to cause it before we protest. When he takes away rights for women, I will be one of the first people to stand up against him, but I don't want to hope for his disasters. I hope and pray that he will turn out to be a much better president than anything of us expect, which I know is very, very low chance.
Before we all rip each other's throats out, even in a calm protesting way, let's consider love above all.
1 Peter 4:8: "Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins."
