What Does This Say About You?

    While in the prone position, waiting for sleep, my better half had to turn on the news.
     Wait...
     Let me back track a little...yesterday afternoon ( he likes to report to me the news, that I do not want to hear!) Dr. B said, " You can not make this stuff up", and precedes to tell me that the commander in chief, called places that some people come from Shitholes .
     I stopped my reading, glanced over my left shoulder and said, " I just do not believe that." " I think that may be fake news, no president would ever say something like that.?" ( the same man, that talked about grabbing pussies, and Mexicans were rapists ?) (no the word SHIT is so ugly, he would never say that ?) I told Bill, it is just one source and I just can not believe such trash. AND for sure I can not control it, if it is the truth. ( please don't let it be the truth) ( I know it is, well...maybe not)
    So back in the bedroom, hubby turns on the news, and it is a firestorm about the twitter fool, that is our elected official.
    I started to cry, I told him, ( darling hubs) "This is why I don't watch bad things before I go to bed, its so upsetting"
   " What does this say about the people who voted for such a man?" I vote my party, so I understand if your desires run the Republican platform. But if your party puts up a racist, narcissist, insane person, you need to jump ship.I voted for Granddaddy Bush one year, because my party picked the wrong person, and they were faltering, and I just knew it was not working. I may have cried in the voting booth, but I wrote President Bush later about my dilemma. He wrote me a lovely letter, about understanding my concerns, and that he would do his best to be a good president. I was a young mother, and I felt better. I would support him, without my full heart, and work hard to improve my own party.
    This election of Mr. Trump is completely different. You say you voted against Hillary, but at what cost. You are now participating in this man's actions. You co-signed his job application, and voted him in. You hide behind your Christianity, as if Jesus would ever condone anything that this man says or does. You Jesus is not the one, I know. What does this say about you?
   This is a very big question to answer.
   Probably you felt the same way about President Obama, I do not know. I did not think there was such a big divide, but maybe there was.
   Mr. Trump talks, about his base, and his people. That is even more alarming then him in office, who voted for this man, has always been my question. Some say ignorant,I just can't believe that is the cornerstone of the Republican Party, but what were you thinking? He is vulgar and nasty, and not very good at surrounding himself with good people.
   All I know for sure, is that I am so disappointed in his people, whomever you are. I think surely you would not have this man in your home for dinner, much less let him make decisions for your grandchildren.
   I think I will write President Bush, the oldest one, and Barbara, I need some more guidance. My heart is heavy, my country has some big holes in it, and the President Elect says "Shitholes" like it is everyday language. And he only wants people from Norway to come our way? Norway is laughing as I type. The entire Global world, asks that he stays away. People take a Global History Course, and look at the Worlds History. It may be too late to learn from this mistake, but I have to believe in Hope.
  I believe in the people of America, I just do. I will not lose hope, and I will not stop resisting this election and the mistakes that have been made.
   I will let you know what George and Barbara say to me, and that says a lot about me! I reach out to all sides, to fix this catastrophe. And if you do not think there is a problem, well that says a lot about you.
