An Open Letter to My Future Children
HuffPo ^ | 12/22/2016 | Lindsay H. Hoffman

Posted on 12/22/2016 4:08:15 PM PST by Cheerio

Here is a final blog for 2016 from one of my students this semester. Ashley Pipari is a Senior double major in Communication and Political Science at the University of Delaware. She wrote this blog just days after the Election, thinking of her future children and how to explain this to them.

Professor of Communication & Political Science, University of Delaware

Dear Future Children,

Please know that I believe in the United States democracy crafted by our founding fathers. I believe in the Constitution. I believe in the voice that each person has when casting his or her vote. I believe that we are all equal, even when society says we are not.

I believe that to make justified, well-educated decisions we must listen open-mindedly listen to both sides of an issue. Most importantly, I believe that regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, and class, we have the power to change the world if we choose to. This has changed recently when Donald Trump became elected the 45th president of the United States.

When I cast my vote on November 8th, I thought I would one day be able to tell you that I played a part in making history; that I helped elect our first female president. It is with great sadness that I cannot tell you that.

You will probably be retching if you reach the end of this student blog.

Clearly Ashley Pipari, University of Delaware, 2016, has not studied the founders or the Federalists papers.

Thinks the USA is a DEMOCRACY!!!

So many false assumptions about reality.

So many false narratives.

That’s a lot of education to waste on an idiot.

We weren’t voting for prom queen.

We voted for the best person to run the Executive Branch.

Maybe we should have a national prom queen and then the Democrats can vote based on their feelings.

That's today's college "education" for you.

The Little Bloggerette is quite important.

Self-important.

I had a nice chicken dinner tonight. The grocery store sells a nice hot chicken meal with two sides and a biscuit for $4. And the grocery store is right at the bus stop, so I get home and its right there.

Good times.

I lived through a period where misogyny and racism were more blatantly apparent than ever before.

We always thought you were prehistoric, Mom. Since you won't stop blathering on, tell us about the dinosaurs too.

I want to be sympathetic toward someone who is thinking about the future, but this is just drivel.

>>When I cast my vote on November 8th, I thought I would one day be able to tell you that I played a part in making history; that I helped elect our first female president.<<

“Instead I have the pleasure to tell you that we elected the first of by your time will be a long line of true citizen representative Presidents, as envisioned by the Founders.

“I am so happy to tell you that I was there 11/8/2016 when the profession of ‘politician’ began to end and watched on 1/20/2016 when President Donald Trump made America Great again and it was the beginning of the end of the Mainstream Media (it would take too long to explain and you would not believe it if I did — FreeSearch ‘Media Bias before Trump’).

“Believe it or not there used to be OVER A DOZEN departments in the federal government, not just the 6 we have now. Today in 2016, the federal government regulates every aspect of our lives, from the act of your creation (by allowing killing of babies) to the act of your death (made quicker by a federal program called ‘obozocare’ or something like that. It was named after the first 1/2 white president — today I can tell you his name but by the time you read this he will be a distant and remote name like Chester Arthur and the like.

“I so envy you my child to have not lived in the politically correct times of today when the slightest mention of the truth of ANY situation is a potential death sentence — of your livelihood by the government and of your person by its many proxy organizations (remind me to tell you about the terrorist racist organization called ‘black lives matter and no others do.’

“My child, these are heady times and I am so proud to tell you I WAS HERE WHEN AMERICA TURNED AROUND!”
