And I agree that a difference of opinion is one thing, supporting this creature is something else entirely. Not sure if you've ever read a blog called "VA Dog Rescue" (written by Brent Jacques). Go read his November 7 post entitled "Politics and Friendship." Spot on, I think. You have to make choices about who you associate with. And sometimes you get to choose to say no.<br />Elle Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11563633298659967269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-19085630540738919732016-11-09T01:57:01.940-05:002016-11-09T01:57:01.940-05:00Here in Germany, the elections are followed very c...Here in Germany, the elections are followed very closely, as the result has great impact on Europe as a whole and Germany in particular.<br />Like you, I can't believe people - especially those who call themselves Christians - took Trump seriously enough to support him throughout the campaign and now voted for his party.<br />How can anyone in their right mind want such ugliness to be normal?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-22645484550382751952016-11-08T15:28:07.411-05:002016-11-08T15:28:07.411-05:00I'm sad and sickened over the ugliness I'v...I'm sad and sickened over the ugliness I've seen. Hang in there. Sarah Palin was very popular for a while and then most people got sick of her stupidity or forgot about her. The same thing could happen with Trump.

But to give you one example of what I'm talking about, Donald Trump mocked a disabled man (it's on camera so he can't deny it) and some of my so-called "Christian" friends defend him to the death as their choice for president. If anything is any uglier than that, I don't know what it is. I can have respect for different opinions, but when someone defends a cretin who makes fun of the disabled (one terrible thing of many that he's said/done) that goes beyond political differences. I can't have respect for anyone who supports Trump.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-41064143123523245972016-11-08T10:24:49.154-05:002016-11-08T10:24:49.154-05:00One thing is for sure, half the population is goin...One thing is for sure, half the population is going to be very upset; which half remains to be seen!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-7902463318186481862016-11-08T10:02:33.417-05:002016-11-08T10:02:33.417-05:00My next-door neighbour accused me of all sorts of ...My next-door neighbour accused me of all sorts of things when her side lost the election in <br />Britain. This was when they lost. She never forgave me for having a different opinion. Now, she doesn't speak to me. How terrible that she use politics to decide our future that way. I've known her for 20 years, but I'll never forgive her for this.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094441414025227387noreply@blogger.com
