Lately it seems like the majority is anti religion and anti God. Without God, what else is there? Nothing!
I have a feeling everything Donald Trump supports is everything that is right. He wants religion to play a bigger role in the US, he wants to make abortion illegal and he wants gay marriage illegal. This is a good decision that involves God and suddenly there is turmoil everywhere. What do the protesters want? A world of sin where they can do whatever they want and not have to take responsibility for their actions? That's all wrong.
What the women's protests were all about is that we do not support the mentalities and views that Trump and the Trump administration stand for. We do not think it is appropriate or right that a man who has said vulgar things about women on record in public should be President of the United States, their protesting his constant sexist demeanor, lewd language, and general disparagement of women. It also wasn't homologous about Trump's disturbing misogyny, but also issues like climate change, racism, immigration, LGBT rights, police brutality, and pretty much anything you can think of was there apart of the marches.
Personally, I support the marches and had female and male friends from all over the political spectrum support and attend them. I still stand by what I said the day after the election...
Even that doesn't really make sense to me because if you know me on here, you've heard me say that I used to be very conservative. I used to want things like a border wall and to ban all Muslims from entering the country. When I look back, I don't think I could have supported Trump. It could just be wishful thinking, but I think that his actions like making fun of the disabled person, his comments about his daughter, the Miss Universe, another similar comment*, his string of failed businesses coming out, or maybe some combination and thought "this man (if he's really like this) is not fit to be President".
*If I remember correctly, that's referring to the "grab her by..." comment.
It has nothing to do with sin, the fact that Hillary didn't win, trying to change the outcome of the election, or trying to deny that Trump is legally President. It has nothing to do with any of that. It has to do with the fact that it's NOT OKAY to talk about women and other minorities like they way that Trump does. Like I said in the post I quoted, it may be wishful thinking, but there's a part of me that thinks that couldn't have supported Trump even when I was conservative and agreed with him on a lot of issues because of the stuff he's said and done.
What are your thoughts on the state of things?
I feel like an foreigner in the country that I've lived in my entire life. I'm also scared for my fellow Americans who are not white males, and even scared for myself because I support them.
