So it's been two weeks since the election. Two weeks of me hearing "Give him a chance." "Stop whining over losing." "Get over it." "He's your President." "Pray that he makes the right decisions." And many many more.
But you know what it's been two weeks. And everyday I wake up more horrified with the decisions he has made then I was the day before. Each day I am further baffled by those who think I'm simply upset because the person I voted for lost the "Electoral majority vote" (Stressing that fact to it's max) I find myself completely unable to get over it and have never once whined. I am simply sharing the facts. Sharing what I know, hoping that others will see this insanity for what it is. This future he promises is not one you believed it to be. If you can look at this and think it is exactly what you wanted then my friend I am greatly saddened.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. ( Especially when there's Kool aid on the menu)
Seriously now... Trump is the first elected (by majority of the electoral votes) President who is a climate change denier. DENIER folks. Knowing that climate change is real doesn't mean you have to be a rocket scientist people, it's common sense. Last July was the hottest recorded month ever, EVER! Animals are continuously becoming extinct and it's not because we are hunting them all into extinction. It's happening because we are creating a planet that no longer is able to support their life. Eventually people this will be us if we don't make a change. And we have been. Things were looking up. The Paris Agreement put us on the right path. But now Trump who wants to "unite" says he will pull us of the agreement we made with almost 200 other countries. (Not really feeling the unity there.) He wants to cut EPA regulations so that fossil fuels companies (like those he has invested in i.e. DAPL) won't have to comply with so many. Can you say money over people? We already have issues we are fighting over currently like Flint, MI and Dakota Access Pipeline and coal ash here in Indiana that are hard to combat even with the current regulations. Can you imagine how horrific it will be when his people start to take this apart? He has the mentality that the environment will just take care of itself. Tell that too the people who are already struggling from the effects of climate change.
Then we have his minions Pence... Pence who believes that women would allow themselves to be raped and somehow fix it so they get pregnant from that rape just so they could go have an abortion. Because if they manage to do all that, they can miss work! Oh my God what fun! (Huge eye roll) I think it would be easier just to fake the flu. He also wants to take funding away from treating people with HIV and AIDS and put it towards conversion therapy for those who don't want to be homosexual. Because let's take medical help from actually helping those who are sick and put it towards trying to cure something that isn't a disease. At lest I remind everyone of the AIDS Epidemic that happened here in Southern Indiana under this man's watch. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.usatoday.com/story/26498117/?client=safari This was due mostly to dirty needle use but still don't think he best person to decide we need to pull any funding from this area.
Then we have the racist, sexist and bulling mentality. Many people tell me they don't agree with this part of his personality yet they voted for him. Well you just told all those who have been thrust under his umbrella of hate that you are okay with it enough to put this man in charge of our country. And now this very same man is looking to add several other alt-right, dare I say white supremacists leaders into his cabinet. Men who have suggested "Muslim camps" and 'anti-American Investigations' that sound increasingly like McCarthyism and Holocaust camps. Neo Nazi & KKK leaders here in America have actually celebrated these appointments. CELEBRATED! Good God America we fought the Nazis. Do you remember history at all? None of this is OK!
We can not normalize any of this!
This is our chance America to stop this Hell before it happens.
America is better than this! I know it is. Let's join together and tell Trump this was his interview and he failed. Because any good manager will tell you that character goes a long way in the hiring process. Let's tell the Electoral College we want the over 1.5 million lead in votes for Hillary to be heard. Let's tell them to vote to help save America and truly put it on the path to greatness.
