Today I feel compelled to write a non-comedic blog so that I can vent my frustrations somewhere other than Facebook. I try so hard not to say anything political on Facebook but I am feeling weak lately. Fair warning, this is going to be Trump bashing (not anti-Republican or political) and off color so if that offends you, please stop reading now. For the rest of you, here we go, commence rant. First let me preface by saying I have thought Trump running for President was a joke since the beginning. The second he became the Republican Nominee was a sure vote for Hillary in my eyes. His recent comments didn’t change my opinion of him, they just cemented it in stone.
When I have voiced my disgust about Donald Trump’s recent comments about having his way with women because he is rich, I was told things like, “you’re a hypocrite” or “you say things just as bad as him” or “you use crude language” or “people in glass houses”. Let me clarify something, I’M NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT (I know I said I was and promised free puppies in my last blog). It doesn’t matter if I swear or use vulgar language because a) I’m not running for President, and b) I don’t touch people inappropriately – EVER. Period, end of story, mic drop.
While I don’t particularly care for that word he used to describe a woman’s female parts, it is not the word that is the issue. Why can’t people see this? If he used the actual word, still just as bad. If I walked down the street and called every passerby that word, it isn’t even on the same level as his comments. “Good morning p***y”, “Any idea what time it is p***y?”, “Please hold the elevator p***y”. Nope, still not even close. It doesn’t matter what word he used, he stated that because of his money he can kiss and grab women whenever he wants and they won’t do anything. Hmmm, let me think for a second, I’m pretty sure that is… illegal? Not to mention so freaking morally unethical is makes me sick. Sick as a woman and as a mother of a female.
Now brace yourself because here it comes. That word he used to describe where he can grab women, is exactly what any man is that uses any form of power to assault a woman. Yup, I said it, he is the p***y (insert gasp here). While Hillary was not my first choice and has done many wrongs as well, she is not grabbing people in the no-no zone because she has money and power. Now don’t even say Bill Clinton was worse because he, along with myself, ARE NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
This has nothing to do with politics or issues, it has to do with character and supporting a person that not only abuses women but is teaching children it is alright to do so. A vote for Trump shows children that they can abuse women, be a bully and a racist, and still become President. That my friends, is much worse than anything Hillary can do. I still think this entire race is a bad dream. I keep closing my eyes, clicking my heels together and saying “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home”.
