When Elections Make You a Monster

I have to wonder if Trump is doing so well during the Presidential race because the mass majority of the country is tired of being forced to be politically correct all the time. We are forced to accept things and people foreign to us simply to protect them, disregarding anything that ourselves might want to stand up for. I for one am sick and tired of the government controlling every single thing we do, every move we make, every decision we think we aren’t free to make on our own. I miss the fact that our children don’t say the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each school day, it’s disheartening that for a country that was built on morals and “In God We Trust” is being torn down and torn apart by people who don’t want to offend immigrants. 

I understand that Trump for the most part can be ridiculous. However, Trump also does so well because he says what he wants without apology. He has ideas, he has plans, and he’s not sorry for taking a firm stance. Someone needs to. Someone in this country needs to throw down the gauntlet and stop the nonsense. I for one cannot simply take any more PC crap being forced upon me. I feel like I can’t think, act, or make any one given decision without worrying who will be offended by it or who will take affirmative action against it. 

Now I also listen to the Clinton supporters and they’ve got some points in their favor too. However I really believe that the only real thing Clinton has going for her is her “woman card”. I can’t for the life of me understand how people can back someone whom leads the way with criminally negligent acts alongside them. Let me take that back now that I’ve thought about it. Look at this country, look at how much we’ve allowed authority figures to run it into the ground, how we’ve allowed them to commit criminal acts, and we’ve stood by; we’ve not only stood by but we’ve continued to allow them to run this country, these states, and business from coast to coast. So for people to back Clinton beyond her woman card is actually completely plausible. 

I would love to see a woman President run this country. I believe that it’s just as fair for a woman as it is a man because gender doesn’t define my trust in someone. There are amazing qualities about women that give them the ability to be amazing leaders, the key to it is, it has to be the right woman; and I think that that type of woman would have to be one who has busted her ass to prove herself, who has worked hard for the position she has, and who cannot be bought no matter what. 

I know very little about Sanders, simply due to my lack of interest in him which is shameful on my part but I have been paying attention enough to know enough to finish this blog entry. What I admire about Sanders is that I gather that as a single mother, he would actually be able to understand where I come from as a citizen from the Midwest. I feel like given his age, he could still related to actual people and not just CEO’s and people with million dollar incomes. I can’t understand how the millennials are so incredibly into backing him, but I am glad that he’s getting their attention because it’s important to be able to reach all generations and not have exclusions. 

I have some concern about his age because I’ve watched how being President can very quickly age the men that have taken up that position, but I don’t feel like he’s running just to prove something to everyone. I guess what I’m saying is that it’s none of my business to know who you’re voting for, just as it’s none of your business to know who I’m voting for. Frankly when asked, I just ignore the question all together. I can’t understand that audacity to actually ask someone. 

Whomever it may be, vote in peace. Please stop shoving all of your #Trump2016, your #ClintonforPresident, and your #feeltheBern down my throat. Who you support, whether in a Presidential race, sports, or any other area of life, is in no way going to impact my thoughts or decisions to follow suit.
