There are a couple of things that have been impressed upon me lately that I need to put into words to really get the full understanding. I know what it is I am thinking about, but until I try to lay it out in plain site, I don't think that the full meaning is apparent.
Nevermind. Now to the point
I hear libs and progressives screaming about how bad Trump is and how we need to radically change the way things are. I mean to hear them talk, they want to throw out the Constitution! Certainly free speech is gone. I could never say what I am about to say in a forum like Facebook or, well, even in person. I have too many liberal acquaintances and coworkers. They would issue a shrill tongue lashing if I said this out loud. Quite frankly, what I'm about to say is the reason Trump won the last election and will most likely win the next. You see, they have effectively shut conservatives up. They haven't changed the way we think. No, we have just stopped being so vocal about our opinions. Quite literally, they look and sound absolutely ridiculous and if you say anything contrary to what they believe, LOOK OUT! The intolerance train is going to railroad you! So much for demanding tolerance. Well, we just quietly shake our heads and go vote. They have the media, they have most of the celebrity elite (which I don't get because the only reason they have their fortunes is because of...you guessed it, CAPITALISM which they decry as being evil🙄), they have probably had the most vocal criticism of any political persuasion EVER, but there is still common sense out there. They can scream and spew hate all they want, but the majority of Americans still have common sense. I don't know about the next generation because they are truly spoiled and will want whatever benefits them, but for now, we are still the majority. It may not sound like it, but we are.
The other thing I want to throw out is just how hateful people have become. I really think that people under the age of 40 are some of the meanest people ever. Now if you are talking to them face to face, they will be sweet, but get them behind a wheel, on a phone or on social media and they are verbally flaying people! I honestly think people have gotten to the point where they are not happy unless they are complaining. I don't mean, "oh I had such a bad day...." No, I mean, "they should lose their job (livelihood/support for themselves and their family)" and "somebody needs to [insert whatever bodily harm you can inflict on another here] them...."
As a teacher, you can just imagine what kinds of things get directed at my profession. I bite my tongue a lot! That's something the younger generation needs to learn to do. Sometimes, your opinions need to be kept to yourself.
Okay, that's my random, sleep-deprived thoughts for today! Good night all!
PS We didn't vote for Trump because we agreed with everything he says and does. We voted for him because Hillary was worse. One thing that worries me is women who will vote for a woman, just because she is a woman. Can I just say that is the very reason why we don't have a good woman candidate? That is insane reasoning and well, smart women run away from candidacy!
