I don’t think the people Trump paints as enemies are good, but at the same time, I don’t think Trump is truly Christian or helping people come to Christ or making America a more Christian place to live. I’m beginning to think he is the caricature opportunist some said he was, and I was a fool to support him.
I haven’t posted since he won. Having a child born with a chronic illness right after his election has made me view everything he does under a completely different lens. I cannot raise my children to act like this man. I have been focusing on my family and disengaged from politics lately, but stuff like this, dehumanizing language, is really just getting to be too much for me. I would never want to hear my own children utter the things he says.
I think I am done. I am really glad we aren’t living under President Hillary, but I feel like Trump is dooming me to lifetime of Hillarys after this. He is a terrible person to have at the top claiming to represent Christian values.
Nothing is good right now, and the government is as useless as ever, but I am stricken with how terribly accurate everyone who assumed the worst from Trump has turned out to be right. I’m going to have to explain what a porn star is to my kid when she turns 3, because of this President.
I owe Ted Cruz supporters a huge apology. You were all right. And now he kisses the ring of this person New York vomited onto all of us, so at the same time, you’re still wrong. I guess that gives me some comfort.
I am lost in the woods and focused on building my own fire right now. I can’t take this.
For perspective on where you’re coming from with your post, I looked up some of your old posts and gathered the following:
*You weren’t ‘really expecting Trump to win’ - he did
*You didn’t like PC and you called it out - now you expect Trump to be PC when he calls out evil
*You didn’t want a pious president - such as Ted Cruz - who was ‘off-putting’ to you because he thought he did “the REAL Christian thing” - now you seem disappointed that we don’t have President Evangelist
So today you’re complaining about the things you previously said you wanted. You say you changed because you’re now a parent. Most of us are parents (and grandparents) as well, and our children are our priority.
Yet, we believe President Trump is doing an amazing job. And I’ve never seen anyone post concerns that we now have to explain porn to our babies. Ridiculous!
At any rate, one of your gripes is that President Trump said MS-13 members are animals, and this is somehow dehumanizing language in your mind?
If you’re going to raise your children in this world, you’d best get reengaged and snap out of it - whether you support President Trump now, or you never did...
MS-13 members are evil savages.
Look up some reports of what they’ve done, then pray your children never encounter anyone like them.
The first time I ever heard the name MS-13 was when gang members poured flammable liquid down a teenaged girl’s throat and set her on fire.
That is an act of the demon possessed. They are unrepentant reprobates - laughing about their evil acts.
I noticed one FReeper’s comment to you and have to wonder if he was on to something:
“You again. Always the first to throw fuel on the fire in every thread. I think you’re a troll.”
