Terrified

(I am almost certain that I will lose some readers with this post.)

I am terrified that:

…some will vote along color lines. And use color as their only deciding factor.

…people are voting with their emotions instead of their brains.

… some Americans are more concerned with “making history” than making a good decision for the country.

… most are cutting off their noses to spite their face.

… some Americans are so fed up with the Republican party that they will choose the opposite candidate just to make a point.

…most don’t know the issues, won’t find out the facts and are choosing not to listen to all sides because it’s not the popular thing to do.

…people have shut down. And are becoming sheep.

…most don’t even know what “change” means.

…most are afraid to speak up.

…a person that doesn’t value human life will get elected.

…feminists refuse to applaud or even recognize a woman that was made from a mold that they created and fought for. (Self-made, educated person from middle-class family that has a long-term marriage, mom to 5 [including one with special needs] who has kept her sense of humor and looks… Capable, smart and willing to serve… I don’t get it…)

…that the vitriolic and hateful comments that are being slung these days are going to continue for some time. Maybe four more years.

...peace, love and understanding will become things of the past.

(Stepping off soap box now.)

Bravo! Couldn't have said it better myself. As for losing readers...I have a feeling you'll gain a few with this post as well.
