I don’t choose to use social media as my soapbox to exclaim
my political stance or debate controversial topics. But with that being said,
excuse me, pardon me, coming through…stepping up on it, ‘cause I got something
to say.
Hear ye, hear ye, I need to let it be known that I do not
support Trump; not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow, not ever. I believe in
love, kindness and basic human decency, I stand up for respect, equality, and a level playing field of dreams, I speak out against bullying, bigotry and
racism. All of my ideals are fundamental to my outlook on life, the way I treat
people and the way I expect to be treated. They are based on morals and
conscience and lived out through actions and relationships.
Trump lives by his own set of ideals, all of which revolve
around himself, in an effort to acquire more money, more power and more fame. Relationships,
who needs relationships, when your life goal is to be the biggest, baddest,
richest, most powerful individual in
the world. Without relationships, who needs morals or any of the “stupid”
ideals I listed above. If relationships aren’t important, morals are out the
window and equality just makes getting to the top harder, you have a perfect
recipe for “a bad hombre”.
Is this “Making America Great Again”? If this is “Making
America Great Again”, then pigs fly and Trump’s hair is real. The corner of
America that I live in, is not great. Here in Charlottesville, there have been
several white supremacist rallies, that involved hate speech, violence,
injuries and the death of a local civil rights supporter, Heather Heyer. In a
time where we look to our president for well-spoken words that give us comfort
and bring us together as a nation, he left us disheartened and divided. He said
there were “fine” people on both sides and he spoke of his own Trump Winery to
emphasize how well he knows Charlottesville. He went on to say that America’s
racial divide will be overcome by all of the jobs he’s creating. Do what? Are
you kidding me? I can’t even believe this is real. How about we overcome racism
by condemning it and not giving it a place to exist in America.
For the record. I’d rather be one tiny snowflake amidst a
billion other beautiful snowflakes, then an abominable snowman.

On 9 out of 10, scratch that, 99.9 out of 100 issues I am
not in agreement with Trump. But for me, that’s beside the point. My point is,
I choose love not hate.a·bom·i·na·ble: causing moral revulsion.

I speak up for myself, I speak up for my children and I speak up for every human being that deserves a fighting chance in life.
Love Trumps Hate,
