Still trying to unpack my feelings about the results of the election. I have to say that this is about so much more than just a political difference of opinion. This is about the survival of the America that I was raised to love and revere. This is about the safety and well-being and acceptance and respect and RIGHTS of all the marginalized groups in this country, including women.(conservatives are for the rights of EVERYONE, not just one group of people)This is about morality and ethics. 8 years ago, when Trump won against Hillary, I was shocked that so many people would vote for a blow hard failed businessman (how is he a failed businessman? He is a billionaire, so I'd say he was pretty successfulk) reality star to run one of the most powerful countries in the world. I didn't know a lot about Trump at that point, I was not a fan of his reality show, I just knew that he didn't seem like a viable candidate. And by the way, everything that I feared back then, and that some of the people in my network made fun of me for believing came to pass or are about to come to pass this time around.But this time, 8 years later, we know everything about him. We know that he has committed crimes left and right, some of them treasonous. (Really?)We know that he has no morals or ethics, is most definitely not a Christian (he goes to Church, so I'd say he's a Christian), and really only cares about himself and maybe his rich buddies (okay here you are getting into his head. How do you know what who he cares about just by looking at him? The answer is: you can't). He has no concerns whatsoever for the base that votes for him (umm, what? If that were true why would we so strongly support him?)And things are about to get very very bad here. Prices will go up, so if you voted for him because you thought that prices were too high, yeah good luck with that. (why would prices go up under Trump?)Anyone with a brain knows that tariffs are not going to make our prices go down. (fair enough. But the point of Tarrifs is to make it so companies can't just move to other countries with cheap labor to compete against similar companies in THIS country. High tariffs prevents companies from moving overseas and taking jobs from us, and encouraging these companies to move to the U.S. So, the only prices that will go up are products shipped in from overseas, not everything else) We are going to pay for those.We may never have another election.. at least that's what he promised. (He did? When?) Women are going to continue to lose their rights, maybe even the right to vote. (What the hell are you talking about?) People like me on Social Security may lose their income. (One of the biggest lies about Trump is he wants to take away your social security. He has said no such thing). The media will be silenced except as a propaganda machine... hell, that's already happening. (Like the Democrats have been doing to voices they want silenced. Hell, they even took Trump off Facebook and Twitter.)So forgive me if I'm having trouble seeing any silver linings or finding my hope right now. And if you're in my friends list, and you voted for that immoral, treasonous, poor excuse for a human being, then I really don't care to have a relationship with you any longer. (Typical of Democrats. Sorry for you politics does not determine who my friends are. You know, come to think of it, I think you were one of the 20 people who were at a dinner in Washington D.C. who sat around trashing my President and my God and I just sat there and took it like a man.)I don't have a problem being friends with people who disagree with me, (What? You just said "I really don't care to have a relationship with you any longer." )but I do have a problem with people who vote against the rights of other human beings, including themselves and me. (Well, fear not. Conservatives are HUGE proponent of Natural rights)

Liberals Are Going Crazy On Fakebook
Liberal tears are free, and can bring joy to any conservative. Many of my liberal friends are posting their feelings on Facebook. While I don't want to respond to these comments, as I do not want to upset them. I can do so here in this community. So, here is a long winded comment from one of my liberal friends, a long with my response to it
