The results of this election have sent shock-waves across the country. It seems the majority of people were not expecting Donald Trump to win. I have seen many social media trashing Trump and his ideas in the past two days especially.
However, I believe the worst thing I saw was the attack on people who voted Trump. These people are being called racist, misogynist, anti-gay and other slurs that I will not name here. I have seen posts asking how Christians could vote for Trump. Here is how:
1). I Am Pro-Life
Hillary Clinton is not Pro-Life. She would allow--and supports--innocent children being killed. Need I say more? (Yes, fetuses are children.) Again, I am a Christian.
2). I Am Pro-Economy
Local businesses in my area are failing. Trump is promising tax cuts. We need those tax cuts. Trump has built a company, he's not perfect, but his plan for the economy is much better than Clinton's.
3). I Am Pro-Guns
I love the second amendment and Trump does too. That does not make me a back-woods hick.
4). I Am Pro-"Get up and do it yourself"
Welfare has gotten way out of hand. My tax dollars (in some instances, not all) go to fund people who piggy-back off the government.
Here is what I am not:
1). I Am Not Anti-Women
I am a woman! Women are awesome! I won't say anything about what Trump has been accused of...but have we forgotten how Hillary supported her husband through so many rape allegations?
2). I Am Not Racist
People, do not generalize. If you hate generalization, don't generalize me. I am called to love every person, and I do.
3). I Do Not Hate Gay People
I might not believe they are living a good lifestyle, but I do not hate gays. In fact, as a Christian, I am called to love every person.
4). I Am Not a Backwards, Rude, Un-Caring, Un-Loving, Un-Just, or Insane
Again with the generalizations thing.
5). I Am Not Okay With Sexual Abuse
I doubt there are any women who have never been cat-called at the very least. Here's the thing: Trump being president will not change that. Hillary being president would not change that. You can not change the minds of disgusting people who treat women (or men) like meat. I am so sorry if you have been sexually assaulted.
So in conclusion: I respect your opinion if it differs from mine. I respect you if you support Clinton. I respect you if you disagree with me. I simply ask you respect my opinion as well.
