HOW do leftists function in the real world? I seriously don’t get it. The way they act, none of them have been able to roll out of bed since November 9.
Actually – I’m kind of okay with that.
According to this, a progressive feminist named Stephanie Land mourned Queen Hillary’s loss by… breaking up with her boyfriend. And not because her boyfriend voted for Trump or anything. In fact, she even said that he was a wonderful and caring guy, who adored her two girls and was a great father to his own daughter.
But because Land just wasn’t in the mindset for dating after such a heartbreaking political loss, she decided to dump the guy –
That urge to cling to my family while keeping our foundation strong didn’t mesh well with continuing to date the man I’d been seeing. He also has a daughter. He, too, had been feeling a lot of the same emotions I was experiencing: hopelessness; fear; uncertainty about the future; panic over having to talk to my 9-year-old about anything that might come up at school, or what to do in the instance of sexual assault. But I couldn’t reach out to him anymore. He was too new, too unfamiliar.
My focus had to be on my community of friends that are my family. I need to fiercely love the people close to me instead of learning to love someone new. To reach out to others could weaken the bonds that hold my family together.
“I can’t,” I told him. “I just can’t.”
Oh, and apparently dropping her children off at school in her red state community was like dropping them off in front of a den of children-eating dragons or something? Because the people in her town all of a sudden became incredibly dangerous and threatening to her and her family? Where before, things seemed to be perfectly okay?
Sweet mother of mercy, the left is INCREDIBLY ridiculous.
I just have to ask – how do you come to the mindset that the person who is president determines whether or not you feel safe in your hometown? In your neighborhoods? Do your friends and neighbors suddenly grow fangs and develop a bloodthirsty taste for people with whom they disagree politically? What must happen in you life that your family’s safety and security is not dependent on what you have done to ensure that they’re okay, but who the country votes for?
How do you live when politics runs your life so completely and utterly? If I did that, I wouldn’t have done one stinking thing with my life in the last eight years.
Here’s the deal – I know the left likes to engage in gross hyperbole and all these fear tactics were meant to get Hillary Clinton crowned the Queen of the Universe. But really – IT IS GOING TO BE OKAY. Trump is not Hitler. He’s not going to round up his political enemies or oppressed minorities or anything like that. And if he does try anything that boneheaded, rest assured that there will be thousands (if not millions) of Americans who will stand up to him (including yours truly).
That’s the thing with the right: We’re not beholden to personalities the way the left is. We don’t crown kings and queens and god-emperors when we elect presidents. We elect someone to do a certain job for four years. If they do a good job, they get to do it for another four years, and then they’re done. If they do a crappy job, they’re sent packing after four years and we’ll elect someone else. We’re more interested in people who will uphold our values and principles and defend us from outside forces (and some inside forces) who want to take away our freedoms.
So, Stephanie Land can rest easy. No one is going to round her children up and put them in a Trump-feeding machine (or whatever the crap she’s imagining) and she is perfectly free to date whomever she likes. America is still here. She is still free to believe what she wants.
But if she really wants to head for the hills and take shelter in an underground bunker until Trump’s out of office, that’s perfectly fine too. A little over-the-top, but if she really needs to distance herself that much, who am I to stop her?
