Put your money where your mouth is. Don't do what you accuse Trump and others of doing: Saying one thing and doing another.

Like it or not, Trump won the election. Now, how about giving him a chance to either prove or disprove himself. Obama got two chances. He, too, was ELECTED. I didn't vote for him, but I didn't crawl off into a corner and suck my thumb, either. We, who didn't, have all had to make the best of it and hope for better days in the future.

I have voted since I was old enough and don't care whether you like my choices or not. They have all been mine. I have voted for Democrats, Republicans, and others. Have my choices always been good? No. Have they always been bad? No. I do the best I can based on what I see, not what I have heard from media know-it-alls, and not on what someone tells me that I have seen. Contrary to popular belief among some Democrats, I am educated.
Great post. Definitely something to ponder. Thanks for spelling it out so clearly.
