The news came too late for most of the country, but there were some sporadic protests on the West Coast after the news was announced. Today I expect to see mass protests, roads shutdowns, and school walkouts. The left is not going to take this well.
And what good will that accomplish other than to make them look like the children they are.
 
Glad to see this. For awhile I thought she would get in and start a war that would end up dragging my country along for the ride. I’m so glad people didn’t believe the lies that were said about Donald Trump.

I’m also glad because my other fear was not only would she start using your government to silence Catholics, but after doing so the countries that would no doubt follow suit because of how influential the US is.

I’m excited though, because the prospect of Trump doing a deal with Canada and scaring my Prime Minster makes me feel great.

Prayers for the safety for everyone today, I see there are riots already starting. Hopefully not where my family in the USA lives, or the state where my Dad lives.
I am surprised. Also pretty disgusted with Colorado right now. Assisted suicide passed with a big margin. The Bishops here have already come out and condemned it, good for them. I don’t think people realize that Compassion and Choices, the group which pushed the proposition, was the Hemlock Society. They just renamed themselves. Makes me sick to my stomach. “Have problems? Here, let’s help you jump off a bridge.”

I don’t think Colorado is a battle ground state anymore. Minimum wage increase to 12$ by 2020 also passed. Less than ten years ago I worked for 6.25 an hour. Should it really double in only fifteen years? Sheesh, no wonder housing is getting so unaffordable out here. Moving is a real possibility.
Colorado is starting to sound much like Canada, or at least Ontario. Ontario has much of the same things you mentioned above and it’s collapsing in on itself.
 
The Trump victory in my state (Mo) was bigger than I expected, and it seems to have carried through into the down ballot.

In my judgment, Trump is not an ideologue of any kind. He’s a pragmatist who solves problems and makes things work. Hope he can do that in political governance.

Regardless, we seem to be given a reprieve from a “Catholic Spring” at least for awhile. I do not expect Trump to do anything to aid the Church, but neither do I expect him to do anything to harm it. Nowadays, that’s a lot.

And quite possibly the Clintons’ fingers will finally be removed from the public cookie jar.
 
I was surprised at how happy I was to see states slip from Clinton’s grasp. I didn’t vote for Trump, but living in the middle of the country I do understand why people here were for him, and it has nothing to do with hate or racism or any of those other things. People are just really, really fed up with Washington.

I also think that if he approaches the office of President the way he made his victory speech, we may do a lot better than we thought. I do not think Clinton would have been so gracious.

So I’m cautiously optimistic, which surprises me as much as anyone else.
That’s kind of where I’m at, too.

I am surprised that Trump won. I was surprised that he won the primary, too. I am hoping that he continues to surprise by being a good president. Not for Trump’s sake, but for the sake of the country.

One thing is for sure, I’ve lost even more faith in the predictive power of polls. 😛 I’m guessing that a lot of people voted for Trump who just weren’t that vocal about it for fear of being painted as racist, sexist and/or xenophobic. I can understand that. Just a casual scroll through my Facebook feed shows a lot of people who are only too willing to write off half the country as such. That is where I really pray that healing and perspective can come in. Half the country did not vote for Trump because they want to reinstitute Jim Crow laws and oppress women. Until we can understand that, the polarization will only get worse.
 
I hope americans are aware that all of this (whatever pro catholic thing trump would do) would be reversed the next election- millennials will vote, probably more will ‘learn their lesson’ (apparently 11k votes were for Harambe!!! Not sure if it is a legit claim)…

:rolleyes:

I don’t really know the point of my post, but I feel like there should be a bigger effort to evangelise and reach out as opposed to just voting? Let’s say Trump bans abortion-there’s going to be a huge knee jerk response blah blah blah

I guess I want to say that while you americans are relishing the victory of this…person, I hope you don’t forget what’s important and actually try your best to get rid of the “white, racist homophobe who hates anyone who isn’t a straight white christian” stereotype.

This is just from someone in Asia looking at the state of America-both liberals and conservatives. :confused:

That would be liberals using that outdated stereotype. I doubt they will stop.
 
… try your best to get rid of the “white, racist homophobe who hates anyone who isn’t a straight white christian” stereotype.
The fact that some people are bigoted with regard to Christians is a moral failing on their part, not mine.

Furthermore, the fact that some people have been brainwashed about who and what Trump is is a result of their own lack of skepticism towards media narratives and towards the overarching Democratic offense against him. I would encourage you to be more of a critical thinker. Trump was painted as Trump was painted because that’s all the other side had.

I certainly hope no one thinks that voting for President replaces their obligation to evangelize.

You’re right that we don’t want to become complacent. When we know the government opposes us, it is easier to see why we need to work so hard to protect the life of the unborn, religious liberty, etc. We want to work (and pray) just as hard now. We cannot leave it to the politicians to do all the work for us.

Trump would not have won if all the millennials were one-minded liberals, as our liberal media paints them. Sorry, it’s not that simple, my dear friend looking in from the outside and listening to biased pundits and smear-mongers here in the USA. 😉

We are evangelizing here in the USA. It’s one of the reasons Trump won. I don’t expect him to ban abortions, but to keep a firm check on them and limit them–which would be a step in the right direction. Of course the abortion supporters are going to scream. Let them. Apparently a good majority of the American people don’t agree with their agenda.

This…person? As if Hillary were some kind of saint? The majority of Americans aren’t “white, racist homophobe who hates anyone who isn’t a straight white Christian,” contrary to what you’ve read in the leftist media. We are compassionate, kind and forgiving–sometimes to a fault. There’s much more hype than truth in a lot of the shouting and rioting you may have seen. Remember, the media’s silent motto is “if it bleeds it leads”. Can you tell me it’s any different where you life?

Exactly, looking in and not getting a true picture, but one skewed for sensationalism and scare-mongering. You may want to be little more prudent in your reading/what you listen to and watch in the media and take everything they “report” with a hearty grain of salt. 🙂

It IS true to an extent though. You all can choose to shrug and ignore it and only call out oppression if it is only against “your” people (if I’m being too specific, I’m probably subconsciously thinking of the people i know), and have liberals take over and brainwash each other, or you can reiterate the message of the inclusive love our church has and hopefully show people that you are not like that stereotype.

Might not have a huge result immediately but slowly but surely we will see more people not being afraid of republicans. Continue to let the nasty republicans be the voice, nothing will change!

In an ideal world, stereotypes shouldn’t exist. But this world sucks and we all gotta do what we gotta do to progress. I have to work twice as hard just so I can show people that my race can be successful. I shouldn’t, but it’s nice to see my friends in the same ethnic group telling me that they are happy that I was the top student and all…hope i make sense.

Bottomline is that you can’t just sit there and expect people to change their opinion. You need to show them that your religion is not vain! It affects us too, you know!

Amen!

The hard work of evangelization and conversion continues. Get to work. Don’t expect Trump to solve our problems. He may be a good leader and set the tone. Or maybe not. We all need to just keep moving on our spiritual journey and keep working (and praying) to make the world better.

I totally agree with this! I might add that people should realize that the media are not reporting news but trying to sway opinions. I believe their days are numbered. The MSM is a big let down. They lied to their viewers/listeners and they owe everyone, especially President elect Trump, a massive apology!!!

It’s possible to dislike Trump without liking Clinton! Who would have known? :rolleyes:

Weelll, I know what and where to get my information. Thanks for your concern
 
Clinton won the popular vote, but lost to the Electoral vote.🤷
What’s the confusion? This is a purposeful design so that densely populated areas subject to group think cannot dominate election results.
 
Clinton won the popular vote, but lost to the Electoral vote.🤷
Not unlikely in any close election. The electors are assigned according to population, but there is roundoff error in that assignment, plus the states vary in turnout. So in a very close election, there is about a 50-50 chance the popular vote will be opposite the electoral vote.
 
Thank you, Lord ! Praise you Lord!

We love our unborn. We love our marriages, We love our families. We love our country!

You have set before us a difficult choice in this election. By your grace we have made a choice against an evil agenda that promotes abortion and is destructive to the moral fiber of this country, especially in it’s redefinition of marriage which is the foundation of the family.

Lord, please continue to shed Your grace upon the people of the United States and especially our leaders, particularly our new president, Mr Trump, to make moral decisions that bless our country and the world.

Amen
