Incoming Political Post

I’ve been seeing postings since the election about “words of comfort”. People posting that this is the worst, that the world is absolutely ending, that we all need to stay strong, and hold out hope, and keep fighting.

Do you people remember 8 years ago when Barack Obama won, and state after state threatened to actually secede from the Union? Do you recall how crowds of people demanded proof that he wasn’t Kenyan, and wanted to see a birth certificate? How many were sure he was Muslim, and would precipitate a terrorist attack on America, or worse, bring about a Socialist form of government? None of which was true, or happened.

How quickly you forget.

To those that supported Hillary Clinton, I want to ask, and get serious feedback. Do you not see that she cheated her way this far? She used influence and money to shut out Bernie Sanders for the nomination, and still you supported her. She cost the Democratic Party, and the country, the only candidate that could beat Trump, and still you supported her. She only wanted her legacy to be the First Woman President, and still you supported her. She used her gender to validate her candidacy, and still you supported her. She broke the Law, used her influence to escape any accountability and STILL you supported her. You supported her because, well, at least she’s not Trump. You will continue to support her and she will still not be held accountable for her illegal activities, and no one will hold her liable for her direct involvement in the fraud in the Democratic National Committee. The candidate you supported is what lost your party this election.

Nothing horrible is going to happen. You have 3 branches of government with checks and balances built into how they interact. Yes, there is a Republican controlled Congress. Has Congress EVER had a record of moving forward on anything quickly? The President is a figurehead, he still has to abide by Congressional oversights, and judicial constraints. Donald trump said so many things that he was going to do once he took office. Can you name ONE President since Kennedy that actually did the things they promised to get elected? Can you name ONE President that didn’t fight with Congress, even when it was controlled by his party? Members of Trumps own party have said time and again how they oppose him on so many points, and will use their political influence to either directly oppose him or to try and steer him to a more politically expedient way of thinking. This election is simply more of the same, with just a slightly more outrageous figure in the role as President. Not much ever changes in D.C., and won’t start now.

Stop being so overly dramatic. You supported a candidate you knew couldn’t win, but refused to hold her accountable for cheating you out of the candidate that could have beaten Trump easily. Four years will go by so quickly, and it will all go back to politicians controlling politics.
