30 Day Challenge, Day Two: Something You Feel Strongly About
The obvious answer here is politics, a topic I think all Americans should feel strongly about. We are entering into uncertain times. Times some people are joyous over, and some are deeply saddened by. If you know me at all, you know, I'm avidly against Trump. I don't think electing a reality star who has absolutely no political background and can't seem to take anything seriously, was a good idea. I don't think a president who attacks public figures, Meryl Streep, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc. was a good idea. I don't think a president who runs to social media when they've had a bad day, like a twelve year girl was a good idea. I don't think a president who doesn't advocate actively for Planned Parenthood, although none of the money they receive from the government goes to abortions, is a bad idea. I think a president who hires a woman who has no experience in education, knows nothing about public schools, and is wanting to take money from them to give to private schools, is a bad idea. America has already dropped down on the totem pole. We are no longer the smartest, most intelligent country in the world, however, we still act as if we are. I don't think a president who signs executive orders as a means to bypass Congress is a good idea. I don't think a president who tries to ban people from a country based on the idea of freedom and welcoming, is a good idea. I don't think a president who makes white supremacists feel empowered is a good idea. A president who makes derogatory comments about woman is not a good idea. A president who is perceived as a racist is not a good idea. A president who divides a country so strongly is not a good idea. America is country where minorities, people of color, women, have had to fight for their rights, ancestors who gained the right to be equal, and now to live in a society where they feel they are not equal. The LGBTQIA+ community feeling as if they are in danger, is not good. Here in America, we take care of our own. We take care of everyone equally, because we're all different here. A president who doesn't find that important is something I can't see supporting.
