I couldn't not make this reply and see someone already made it first, but yes. The shoe has been on the other foot for the last eight years. I did not protest, nor move, nor make riots. To be sure, I have said everyday for 8 years, I didn't vote for "him". Barely say his name and definitely didn't call him my president. That being said, did I live and walk as a grown person who did not get my desired result. Yes.
As for the popular loss issue. I did vote for gore because I voted against George w. So yes, that shoe was also on the other foot, where indeed the election was called by the brother of the winner that was not my vote. I also did not riot, did not move, did not protest and also continued my life as a law abiding proud American that did not get my desired result.
I implore that America would be so "uneducated" as myself. And yet, therein lies the lack of education because in both formal education and common sense and iq, I am very educated. So educated that I can understand the differences of "entertaining a thought while still being able to reject it".
As for trump being racist, as well as his voters, dr Ben Carson is and has been his trusted advisor and will serve in the White House. I call this man, a man who worked his way through college from a middle class, broken home to become a world class, innovative brain surgeon. I did not and do not qualify that he is a black man, nor a Christian. His merits and skills identify him. But again, "republicans" put people in small, demographic boxes. I do not label myself or anyone. Not even "democrats". Think for yourself.
And to be sure, I disagree wholeheartedly w Carson there is never a circumstance for abortion, indeed I do believe there are situations where it is indeed the plausible answer. Yet, I respect his position and viewpoint with the highest regard. We have just had different life experiences. If I have held someone's brain in my hand, I have definitely earned the right to be respected of my opinion on human life.
