The elephant represents the Republicans and the donkey represents the Democrat. Both are known to have a certain "stigma" behind it. I won't share which party I am as it is not important and both the Republicans and Democrats have to endure criticism. I can say my election vote and who I voted for does not define me as a person.
Democrats are looked at by society as people who want to support the lower class and think the middle class should pay for everything and are seen to want a hand out for nothing in return take for example the free education. Republicans are looked at as racist, bigots who are sexist and only care about guns and abortion. That is the stereotype and it is false for both, I know Democrats who want the best for everyone and I know Republicans who want the best for everyone as well.
My election vote doesn't define the fact I help those in need by adopting families during the holidays and help the less fortunate. I have always loved helping people and I do so in whatever ways I can. My vote doesn't define how much I help or why I help, I help because that is the type of person I am.
My election vote doesn't define my personal characteristics. I am known to be outgoing, aggressive and passionate. Politics has nothing to do with my personality. I am all those things regardless of what party I classify myself with. I have had those characteristics long before I knew what politics was. I try and take others into consideration by almost everything I do, granted I am not perfect and can be self centered at times everyone can be regardless of being a Republican or Democrat.
Society thinks by classifying yourself as a party defines your morals and values, my morals and values have come from being raised how I was and through my own experiences. I like to think of the two parties as two islands and me being on an inner tube in the middle no amount of wind can push me to one side or the other based on just morals and values.
Who I am has never been and will never be defined by the color red or the color blue or a representation of an elephant or donkey.
