I haven't posted anything about the election so far but tonight I sit here in complete despair and sadness and am compelled to write.
I am not a Trump lover by any means. In my opinion, he is an arrogant and despicable man. But I have had to remove all the scandal and disgusting behavior out of the question and look simply at the opposing opinions. The bottom line is that Trumps views line up with my views. I am a vote for Trump against my will and by default.
It is a travesty that we are even in this situation at all. We are all being forced to make a hopeless choice. I am constantly reminding my children to make good choices. There is no "good" choice this time.
The list Gingrich is making in this video is what terrifies me the most if Clinton wins. "The end of this country as we have known it."
The possible appointments of four Supreme Court judges could have lasting impacts on us for the next 30 or 40 years. Are we really at the point in this world where established rulings are going to be overturned? Where constitutional amendments are going to be changed? Where people are going to be able to kill babies as they are born? My brain cannot process this.
I read a quote the other day (I can't remember who had originally posted it) that was intended to calm Christians about the outcome of the election. The woman writing said that she has let go of her fear because God knows and has always known the outcome of this election. It has always been in his plan so we should not fear. I'm trying very hard to let that sink into me but am struggling.
All I can control at this point are my own actions. I will continue to try to teach my children right from wrong. I will teach them to love one another and make the choices that we know God wants us to make. I will (try my hardest to) have faith in Gods plan for our election and for our country.
Great post, Kristi, I'm with you. I would point out, in just one year, Trump beat 13 Republican nominees, shaken the whole system for both DEMS and REPS. world leaders are speaking up, tensions are high - net,net, he is prosecuting the status quo and the elite are not happy - that is a major accomplishment in my opinion. Yes, he can be rude and vulgar, most people in elite positions have done far worse (Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, JFK, other celebs, rock stars.) Hillary is for an Open Hemisphere (600M People) who could roam the borders (think of the drug cartels and gangs in S. America roaming our streets), against the 2nd amendment, pro Roe v Wade, higher taxes, more govt programs, anti-faith, race baiter, criminal, the list goes in. Key point, which you made is well, is the appointment of Supreme Court justices who are supposed to uphold the Constitution as a legal document, not a "living, breathing" document subject to interpretation and change based on how someone feels. This election is coming down to "emotion" versus which candidate is best for our country and our children. Freedom is one generation away from being destroyed as we know it - it's our job to make sure that does not happen. A vote for the Clinton Cartel and her band of chrony's could literally destroy America as we know it.
