Yes, I supported Trump this election. Now, before you start calling me a racist, sexist bigot, try to understand my reasoning. But first, there are a few things that I want you to know: I am a woman and I voted for Trump. I have friends who are black that voted for Trump. I have friends who are hispanic that voted for Trump. I have friends who are gay that voted for Trump. But you are calling us racist and sexist. You rant about how we should not be stereotyped for these things because it is wrong (which it is), but then you assume stuff about us because of our vote, and isn't that a stereotype in itself? Think about it.
Moving on. Did I agree with EVERYTHING that he said during the election? No. Do I agree with EVERYTHING his party stands for? No. However, he was the candidate I preferred. Why? Well for one, he isn’t Hillary. Hillary has stood up behind a podium too many times and lied. Why would I want someone who isn’t truthful to run the country I live in? Yes, while Trump was behind the podium, he did say a few things that were unnecessary and offensive to some, but he did not lie. I’ve talked to people who have met Hillary before, and they were very quick to say how once those cameras shut off, that smile and positivity that she seems to have going on, fades very quickly. She’s lied to the FBI and she’s lied to us. She changes her mind to anything the people want to hear. Why? Because she doesn’t want to offend anyone, because everything nowadays is offensive.
I absolutely hate when people take everything to heart. They are just words, get over it. Don’t go on crying about it, but if you are, go right to mommy because you’re acting like a child; and just like a child, people expect to be handed everything on a silver platter, and i’m sick of it. No one wants to work for anything anymore. My parents have been landlords for as long as I can remember, and for a long period of time we had people in those apartments who collected welfare. Now, I’m not saying welfare shouldn’t be a thing. We did have some tenants who were severely mentally and/or physically handicapped and could not take care of themselves. They deserve to receive it. They need it. We also had tenants that were struggling for a little while, especially during the recession, and needed it for a short period of time until they were able to get back on their feet. That is okay. That is why it is there. However, we have had countless people come in that cheat the system. They are capable of working, they just choose not to. They chose not to receive an education. They choose not to go out and get a job. Instead, they go out crying to the state, whatever state that may be, and receive money that is being given to them by the working people without giving them a choice. They do this to support things such as a drug addiction that they don’t want to receive help for, or just because they are lazy. They have bragged before about how easy it is to do this. They have big screen TVs and go on little trips, meanwhile, someone who is working a minimum wage job and trying to get their life together, is barely making ends meet. It isn’t fair.
Illegals. A big topic made by Trump. They are also a problem with the welfare. They come to this country, start having babies, and receive money for it. How does this make sense? They’re not even having babies to love, their having babies to collect more money. That is not a parent. That is not someone who should be collecting someones money who has been working their ass off in the real world for it, while these people sit at home, expecting a check.
If you come into this country legally (just like Trumps wife), then by all means, stay. Congratulations by taking such a big step in life and doing this, I wish the best for you.You deserve to be in this country, because you are trying to be a part of it. Did you know that Mexico has tighter immigration laws than us? Probably, because they don’t like giving handouts as much as we seem to do.
I’m just tired of seeing people break their backs to make ends meet while others don’t even have to try. Trump built himself to the top. He never listened to what anyone had to say about him, and now look at him, he is one of the richest people in this country, and now is our president. I don’t care if you like him or not, but he is yours too. So stop rioting. The most well known and successful protests were done peacefully. An example would be Gandhi or Martin Luther King jr. They are respected and they were successful. Rioting and burning our flag doesn’t do anything, and it is disgustingly disrespectful. While you’re burning those flags, remember that is what the parents of the men killed in Benghazi, due to Hillary’s negligence, receive instead of their boys coming home. That is the woman you wanted for president. That is the woman you trusted with our country.
There are many other reasons why he had my vote, but I think this says enough. Stop bullying and stop stereotyping those whose political views differ from yours, and actually talk to them about it. I would never wish someone harm because of their ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc. And I would also never judge a person on these. It does not affect me in anyway who someone loves, who someone praise, or what country their family is originally from. So stop saying that myself and every single individual that voted for this man is what you are stereotyping us as. We have our reasons, and if you are really that curious, just ask.
