I intend on this to be the final political post, as I don't have a dog in the fight concerning the NFL playoffs and don't watch the Pro bowl.

Many of the people who voted for Trump are republicans, and they seemed to have turned a blind eye and given Trump a pass.

As someone who is a libertarian republican, this concerns me as many harped and voiced concerns about Obama's executive orders and actions. Now we are fine with Trump doing the same thing, as he has made some major decisions this week and many are giving him a pass due to having to overturn Obama's executive orders and not having a full Cabinet in place.

We all need to realize that no one is perfect, nor should we allow government officials to get away with stuff just because they are of the same party.

It is our job to not them get out of line, as many seem to forget that we are their bosses and do not need to be afraid to call them out on stuff. If we let them run free, then we wonder where our rights went and how they became so powerful.

There are three groups of Republicans/Conservative

The Alt Right is not a part of the party in my eyes

1. The anti- Trumpers - a group of right wingers who would never vote for him and support him,

2. The Wait and see group- a group that did not necessarily vote for him, but may have voted for a third party option. This group holds him accountable and don't let him get away with stuff without calling him out on it. This is the group all Republicans/conservatives should be in

3. The Trump Worshipers- some treat him as the Second Coming, and do not question anything about him and don't hold him accountable

It is not okay to threaten the POTUS or go after the family, but is fine to voice concerns about his policies

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
