A lot of us voted for him, not a good way to anger your readers. And it has not been a horror show, best economy in years.
Kerry, I don't think you wrote what you meant to convey here, but it's okay, I get your point. I not only stand behind what I wrote but now, two years in, I'd go so far as to say Trump is the worst thing to happen to the US and the GOP in history. Period.
However, I respect that you have a different POV and you must have some reason for that. And you know what? It's fair. There are TV stars I don't enjoy anymore because of their support of him (not many - I don't personally know of many people who support him at all). If I found out an author I liked or was thinking about reading was a supporter of him and his regime, I'd probably avoid that person as well. In other words, I'd feel the same way you do - and in that way I respect your viewpoint.
But I'm not going to pander to readers and pretend to be something I'm not or to believe something I don't. Your implication here is that you'd rather I shut up and pretend but I am sure if you thought about it, you wouldn't want me to do that - it would be crummy, a cheap and dishonest way to try and get a few pennies for myself. And I don't believe any person should take advantage of a national platform and the trust of strangers to try and benefit themselves at the expense of others.
If you are prospering in this nightmare, I congratulate you sincerely. Moreover, I hope a day will come in the future where we can all agree - to at least SOME degree - that our country is doing well.
That day is not today.
Thank you for your reasoned and principled approach Beth and I'm certain history will show you to be correct.
Wow, I just finished the Cookbook Club and intended to ready more by you. After reading this, I'll never read your material again.
You clearly don't have a clue.
Censorship works both ways. Cheers!
