This past week has been full of many emotions. Millions are excited to know that for the first time since George W. Bush ran our nation, we now have a new Republican in office, who's ready to change what America used to be. The other millions of people are in agony, for their candidate, Hilary Clinton, didn't do as everyone had hoped she would. They screamed, protested, marched, to show their loyalty.
I am afraid of change, and I think I can vouch for the millions of other Americans that they too, would agree with me. We, as Americans, have had our lazy Saturday sweatpants on for too long. Welfare has been rising, unemployment following right behind. Jobs have been moving out of the country, for cheaper labor and not as many health regulations.
Rumors have been flushing through the pipes of all of the American homes about losing our guns, women losing their rights. It has sparked the anger in millions and in the destruction of it, we have lost officers, damaged buildings, and scared people into hiding. This is my letter, my speech to you, who are sad. For you who are having a hard time adjusting to the change. For you who are just not quite ready to take off those 8-year-old Saturday sweatpants.
Change is good. A new opinion is good. We don't always have to agree on who exactly is going to be the person making the change, but at least they had courage and understood the responsibility that it took and the journey they endured to get to Inauguration day.
It is extremely time-consuming to even consider altering our rights. They were written from the fountain ink and branded into the foundation of this country. If they wanted to alter or repeal our right to bear arms, any one person can make an appeal, and they also would have to get two-thirds of Congress to approve this. The task is nearly impossible for two reasons. Republicans tend to lean towards pro-gun. While a democrat would consider the appeal to be a political suicide.
We are not kicking out the immigrants in our country. We are simply making it easier, and faster for these immigrants to become a U.S citizen. Should we tighten up our borders a little bit? Yes, I agree. This won't stop people from visiting or getting into the country, but it WILL help us filter out the good immigrants from the bad. It will help filter the illegal drugs and cartels that come into our country and it will help make our streets safer.
Forcing our factories to produce on American soil is not a bad thing. This will bring thousands of jobs back to the states, and it will help us flourish. Unemployment will reduce. It will take the homeless off the streets, and put hard earned American money back in our pockets.
And finally, to all the women protesting your rights. We are damn lucky to have the rights we have today. Not Trump or any other president can change those. Women around the world are not allowed to leave the house alone, drive a car, or even get an education. Women and young girls are abducted or killed for standing up for themselves.
Our military, law enforcement and government all have women in high places. And you are arguing that's not enough? This is silly. Grow up. We are so lucky to have what we have today. And you are acting like selfish 13-year-old girls that didn't get what you wanted. Look around at the world. Look at what other women CANNOT do. It is embarrassing.
I feel so lucky to have been born and raised here in the United States of America. I thank God every day for letting me choose what I want to wear, who my friends are and what I want to do when I grow up. Quit being such a divided nation. We are better than this. It's time to turn around and be proud that you are in one of the freest countries in the world.
