Dear President Trump, A Reluctant Trumper

This message comes from somebody who could best have been described before as a very, very reluctant Trumper. I only voted for you because you supported the Republican platform, which (miraculously) still seems to support Judeo-Christian values, and still opposes abortion. I worried about whether your devotion to conservative values was genuine. But in the last 7 months I have become an ardent admirer, enthusiastic supporter, and daily prayer warrior on your behalf.

America is deeply split, split on the definition of morality. Before you, elections skirted any allusion to the ethical conflict brewing in America . You have defined it, called it out, and are sparing no effort to secure moral victory for America.

I’m impressed by the things people expect to be impressed about— your economic successes, your determination to keep America safe from radial Islamic terrorism, your determination to restore respect for the Constitution of the United States and for law and order. That in itself should be enough to keep a President popular and successful. But what has blown my mind and inspired great respect for you is your moral courage.

I've never heard of this woman before but this was posted on Twitter and I thought many FReepers would find it to be of interest. Here is the authors bio:

Syte Reitz grew up in Queens, New York, in a family of Lithuanian immigrants who fled Nazi and Soviet domination during World War II. Her education includes a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, and post-doctoral work at Princeton University. Syte left her job as an Assistant Professor at Oakland University, Michigan, to devote herself to raising her children, and ultimately homeschooled them through the end of high school. She is a member of Madison's Cathedral Parish.

Please to the the link and read her entire letter, which is too long to be reproduced here in full but which reflects the same values that Free Republic stands for.

It is an expression of faith in President Trump and his moral courage, a topic that doesn't get talked about much, but should. And she has some good advice. "It is the obligation of every person with conservative values to roll up their sleeves and support this President. We need to pray for him, to argue with the media online, to call and pressure our representatives in Washington, to speak up in support of conservatism and of Judeo-Christian values in our social circles, and to invest some time in protecting the values we want our children to grow up with.

In every generation Americans have had to fight for what they believe in, and we do not live in some magical world where we are immune from responsibility, hard work, or risk taking to defend what we believe in."

As she says: "Many Americans are praying and have your back."
