I'm probably not going to make many friends with this, but it's still a free country and I should be free to express my views - which are very conservative, getting that out of the gate - without fear of reprisal.

I'm glad that Hillary Clinton is not in the White House.



If it's between voting for a powerful businessman who HAS DONE BAD THINGS IN THE PAST and has SINCE APOLOGIZED
and a consummate liar, responsible for funding armed terrorist groups who are killing innocent people all over the world, I'm telling you right now, I'd rather have a bully in the White House than a criminal who should be put behind bars.

But since this is the Year of the Butthurt, people are gonna be rioting in the streets, screaming about how "Trump is the Antichrist" and all that until January. And I'm sick of it. Not because I support Trump, mind you, but because I don't like stupid people. And hypocrites.

Like my sister.

Yeah, I think my sister, whom I still love with all my heart, is turning her back on our Catholic faith, saying that it's okay to kill babies for no good reason, same-sex couples are sanctioned by GOD HIMSELF, we should give all our technologies to China, and government should be the end-all be-all answer to everything. And that Catholics are evil and should be killed.

...I'm sorry, it's a very stressful time, and I'm very confused. I honestly feel like I'm all alone in the world, with everyone gleefully turning to what I've been taught to be evil all my life.

Now, don't get me wrong. Just because I believe it to be wrong, I'm not going to get up in anyone's face about how wrong it is. That's not what my faith teaches. Should we denounce it ourselves? Yes, because it violates what God taught us. Should we force people to follow our way of belief? Hell no! That's not what we're called here on Earth to do! Look at Vic tearing these so-called "Christians" a new one!

God's word is about spreading love and holding onto your beliefs while hoping and praying that others will follow you, not twisting their wrists, saying "convert or die" like the Radical Islamic terrorist Muslims do!

...I'm sorry for being so overtly religious and political, but when people tell me I'm evil and should be ashamed of myself, and they can't give me a good enough reason beyond "He sucks because...well, he sucks!" I'm not inclined to hear anything they say.

Yeah, Trump wasn't the best guy for the job.
Yeah, he's an idiot and a bit of a sexist.
Yeah, he's a bit shady when it comes to business matters.
Yeah, he may not have thought this through all the way.

BUT! You deny that he had potential to change and be a better person, you're no better than the people who are trying every day to destroy us! My faith has taught me since my GRANDMOTHER'S days (God rest her soul) that all you need to do to get to Heaven is believe in that Jesus is God made man, Mary was born without sin so she may be His Mother, and be good without anyone else telling you different!

Ask Captain America, and he'll likely tell you the same. Never compromise your God-given character for social favor.

Heck, I wish he was real so HE could be President.

And with that, I'm done with politics. Off to make my comic book store! Come on and cut those small biz taxes!

You summed up the entire election up beautifully my friend. I am still awestruck that the DNC thought Bernie Sanders was unfit to run against Trump compared to Crooked Hillary, whom they rigged the primarys for that very reason. Thats just bullshit. Now the country is even further divided to the point where I fear a Second Civil War is Imminent.
