A Little Thought

Yes, this is about politics. The life aspect called Fuck Around, Find Out. Trump voter edition.

A woman posted about how bereft she was. She met a boy when she was sixteen. He was her first in all relevant ways. In love, they married and had a child.

She voted for Trump. She doesn’t say why. But that love of her life is an ‘illegal’, as the political shorthand is used. Even though he’d been in the United States before he could walk and lived here and here alone all of his life. He’d tried a few times to become a U.S. citizen. For sundry reasons, it wasn’t accomplished.

Now, fulfilling his campaign promises, Trump’s forces came and took her man away.

I surely do feel for her and her daughter. I don’t want to pile on. Explain, this is what you voted for. Nor remind her that her vote was going to upend many other people’s lives.

I really just wished she had listened to Trump before she voted. Thought about the ramifications of his promises. Then made her vote. And I want to ask her, what lessons will you take from this?

Yes, that’s what I wonder.

  1. I honestly don’t think a lot of people recognize/accept how very CRUEL this man is. He has absolutely NO compassion for anyone. He is the epitome of the “Me, Myself, and I” philosophy.

  2. She may actually have no idea what has happened as it pertains to Trump. If she is like a lot of women, when bad things happen, she blames herself for all of it. I think a lot of us, as women, are trained from birth that it’s our fault.
