Hillary Clinton voters, I understand you\u2019re scared. <\/p>\n
I understand you\u2019re angry. I understand you\u2019re disappointed. I understand you feel like you don\u2019t know your country anymore. But I need you to understand something. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s how I felt when you helped elect Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. <\/p>\n
Believe it or not, I thought he was pretty dangerous, too. I thought he held some pretty radical points of view, too. Most of all, I dreaded what he had in mind for our country\u2019s direction. And you know what? He succeeded in fomenting, presiding over, and implementing so much of what I feared. <\/p>\n
My sister-in-law called two days before the election devastated her family of five\u2019s private health insurance policy jumped $500 a month. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve watched cops protested and assassinated while American cities roil and burn. I\u2019ve watched people tie up traffic and \u201coccupy\u201d streets and places of business. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve seen a chicken sandwich restaurant attacked because its founder supports traditional marriage and a beer company attacked because its owner supports a Republican candidate. <\/p>\n
Some of my favorite comedians have complained their comedy is no longer welcome on college campuses because what was once a punch line is now \u201cdangerous speech.\u201d My favorite entertainers suggest because I don\u2019t support their candidate, I\u2019m somehow a racist, sexist, or a homophobe. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been told tougher screening of certain groups tied to terrorism and more secure borders is somehow anti -American while watching our citizens gunned down by radical jihadists is dismissed as \u201crandom acts\u201d of \u201cworkplace violence.\u201d <\/p>\n
It took hacked emails to discover the nation\u2019s media works directly with one of the nation\u2019s major political parties to manipulate coverage of their opponents and curry favor for their chosen nominee. <\/p>\n
College students now account for over a trillion dollars in student loan debt, while job prospects for them remain slim and low paying. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve watched an IRS targeting certain political groups., an EPA that\u2019s made our energy more expensive, a DOE which created a one-size-fits-all curriculum for my kids who all learn differently, a Veterans Affairs scandal that\u2019s treated some of our heroes worse than animals, and a Secretary of State who created an illegal secret means of communication to enrich herself and provide favors with her office. <\/p>\n
Perhaps worst of all, I\u2019ve watched an FBI, DOJ, and Supreme Court become completely compromised by the politics of the day and not the Constitution and the rule of law. Without equal application of the law, we have no nation. <\/p>\n
And you know who presided over all of these things? The man who made me feel for the last 8 years just the way you Hillary voters feel today. But here\u2019s my promise: <\/p>\n
My vote for Trump yesterday was to undo all of the things I just listed. I couldn\u2019t care less about Trump the man. I\u2019m not invested in him. I\u2019m not wearing him on my shirt like you did Obama. I want Washington DC, corruption, bullying, chaos, and stagnation in this country to stop. I want to be left alone. I want you to be left alone, too. <\/p>\n
I want my government to provide for the common defense and help put more disposable income in my pocket \u2013 that\u2019s it. Leave me, my neighbors, my church, my community, and my state to run our own lives. That\u2019s what I expect from Donald Trump. I don\u2019t want and won\u2019t support him \u201cdoing\u201d anything to you or me. <\/p>\n
Barack Obama, Washington D.C., and the elites of political parties, entertainers, and media companies have been dictating the terms of, and mocking American\u2019s lives long enough. I\u2019ll stand shoulder to shoulder with you in fighting Donald Trump should he engage in the same behavior. <\/p>\n
But for now, understand this election symbolizes a nation full of people like me who feel like we\u2019ve been getting the back of our president and government\u2019s hand for eight long years. <\/p>\n
Donald Trump is the response. He wasn\u2019t elected to punish you, or judge you, or jail you, or mock you, or ridicule you if you disagree with him. That\u2019s what the last 8 years have been. <\/p>\n
I voted for him with the hope he moves Heaven and Earth to leave you and me alone to lead our lives as we see fit. If he strays from that, I\u2019ll stand shoulder to shoulder with you to stop him. <\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t vote Trump because he\u2019d inspire me or raise my kids or take care of me or influence my life in any way. <\/p>\n
Donald Trump didn\u2019t win because his voters thought he\u2019d govern as a Republican Barack Obama. His voters hope he\u2019ll govern just the opposite. If he\u2019s successful and does it right, you shouldn\u2019t know he\u2019s there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
