We had 6 kids in our family. The custom was for the father to bring in the financial support and the mother to raise the children. When school was out for summer, the boys shed their shirts and shoes and lived mostly outdoors. We could disappear for hours but would turn up for lunch or occasionally just to let our moms know what we were doing and that we were OK. We'd take our bikes and go exploring other neighborhoods that could be miles away. We'd ride to creek and river sides just to fish or skip rocks. We'd take our bats, baseballs and mitts to an empty school ball field. Other kids we didn't even know might show up as well. We'd pick sides and play ball until it was too dark to continue. No search party ever came. Yes, there would be teasing and taunting and an occasional bad temper leading to some pushing and shoving but no one felt their lives to be in danger from knives or guns.
I can look back on those times and relay that to our kids who just stand in amazement and often wishing they had the same experiences.
As for Trump, I can find a lot of agreement with many of his impressions as to where we are heading. My problem with him is that he acts too much like a bratty 4 year old. I'm also not so naive to believe that we are seeing his real person and not just his persona...the man in the mask. I don't know what to expect from a Trump presidency but I'm fairly certain that an HC presidency would lead us further into debt and accelerate the demise of the USA and it's standing in the world. Such a choice. Either pull of the lever makes me queasy.
Now to make trouble so I'll get into the women's lib thing and really annoy some folks. One of my favorite comebacks to criticism of men by women was to tell them "What do you expect from men who, as boys, were raised by their mothers?"
Of course, that was better than having no one raise them at all.
With permission from the author, I am copy/pasting the entire statement here for discussion......Keep in mind that the 'millennials' age bracket is 18-35. (The second most populous age group was 24, and the third was 22. There is no official age range for millennials but the generation generally is defined as being born between the early 1980s and early 2000s.)
"Why am I voting for Donald Trump?
This is not a Republican vs. Democrat discussion, just to toss that aside.
Well, other than the fact that he's NOT Hillary Clinton (which we can talk about separately if you'd like), my primary reason is this (this will be a little long):
The way that he talks reminds me of 1987.
In 1987, parents and police were OK with the age 6-10 kids banding together and getting on their bicycles, riding the streets of big city suburbs MILES away from home, exploring the woods of those outlying areas and mountains covering THOUSANDS OF acres, going to the movies alone, and not worrying that Child Protective Services would be at the house ready to split up the family. We as parents today are SO scared of letting our kids go out and be kids for fear of them being kidnapped or snatched out of our lives quicker than they came into them and that makes me, as somebody who was able to do those things as a kid, terribly sad. Not being able to say that I trust my neighbors right down the block to not judge me for allowing my kids to ride their bicycles without parental supervision and getting the county/state involved, makes me sad.
In 1987, Eddie Murphy performed "Raw". An array of different ethnicities were in attendance and he made jokes about ALL of them...and they ALL laughed TOGETHER. Same with Richard Pryor...George Carlin...Rodney Dangerfield...and Redd Foxx. Now, people are forming movements, shooting each other, and every time someone brings up race, somebody's offended and is deleted from either Facebook or their lives all together.
In 1987, the "village" raised the children. This ties back into my first point of kids being allowed to get out and about as kids; when adults caught children doing something wrong, even those who were not their own, they had NO issues correcting them on the spot. There was no turning a blind eye because they were scared they'd offend a CHILD or have some parent breathing fire down their neck for stopping a kid from getting themselves hurt or into trouble. This village mentality also taught children that they had to listen to adults other than just their parents...a VERY common flaw that we see in children these days where children feel entitled or obliged to tell adults "no".
In 1987, culture implied that when somebody asked for somebody's opinion...or, hell, even when somebody was in the wrong...people were not afraid to tell that person what they NEEDED to hear rather than what they WANTED to hear in fear of offending, hurting feelings, or alienating somebody...even if it was completely unhinged, people took care of people. Today, people are so concerned with staying out of one another's business, even though sometimes intervention is just something that NEEDS to happen, even if it makes both parties uncomfortable, that the people in need FAR too often are just "forgotten". Consider the suicide statistics in 2016; people being unwilling or afraid to help is a BIG problem today - everybody gets sued.
In 1987, some of the best friendships were born out of fist fights. Today fist fights lead to police involvement, people being imprisoned, and expelled from school for in excess of weeks, months, or the entire year.
Donald Trump is a BILLIONAIRE. You don't get to that point without being highly educated and street-smart. When he stands behind a podium and speaks to people, he doesn't use big mind-blowing and fact twisting words, he speaks like a human being...like you and me. He says what is on his mind. He doesn't sugarcoat things and try to talk over our heads. When he sees somebody or something that is out of line or acting inappropriately, he calls it out and corrects it on the spot. He has put so many currently standing politicians and their corruption, greed, and lies...and I'm talking both within the Republican and the Democrat parties...in the limelight in such a transparent way that America's 315 million people have never seen before that I admire on a level that I cannot even explain. When he speaks, I feel like he is telling the truth and I cannot even come close to saying the same about Hillary Clinton. When he says "Let's make America great again", he's not saying or implying that we live in anything other than the greatest country in the world, I like to believe that he is talking about an America like the one we had back then.
Donald Trump reminds me of 1987.
All of the policies and ideals that he has come second...why? Because, like any president without a firmly laid out plan with Congress and the Senate to back his policies and ideals, he's nothing more than a paperweight sitting in the Oval Office."
