Dear Dad.....

A good read & sure hits on all the FACTS!

Dear Dad:


The last time I visited your house, I noticed a large picture of Donald Trump on your refrigerator. I know you voted for him, and I have a hunch you plan to vote for him again. I’m not writing to change your vote, and it won’t change my mind about you as a person. I think people can disagree without demeaning anybody. People should vote based on their own judgment. That’s democracy and I respect it.

You know me, and know I take an independent, centrist view. I’ve navigated political differences at home and at work. I’ve often voted for people that I don’t fully agree with, and I get along fine with people who have different views. I can distinguish between a vote and a full endorsement of a person and all their flaws.

And that’s what I’m writing about. To me that picture on the fridge says something different than a vote, something different than supporting more of one candidate’s policies than the other’s. To me that looks like you’re giving Donald Trump a hero’s place in your home. And that’s where I have a hard time.

I’ll be direct: I don’t think this man deserves your admiration.
