There has been a lot of disagreement, even violence, due to the results of this year's presidential election. Those that wanted Hillary Clinton to win are distraught that Donald Trump stole the position of President from Clinton. There are riots in the streets because some think that Trump will not be a good president and they are also terrified for their lives because their skin color isn't white. I agree that the way Trump talks makes him sounds a bit racist. But that doesn't mean that he will act on those thoughts when he becomes president. These people that are rioting in the streets and shout at people on street corners aren't even willing to give Trump a chance at being president. However, I will admit that I myself have said that neither Trump nor Hillary would be a good fit to run the country. I don't agree with Hillary's policies and Trump will most likely run his mouth and get us into a global war. I'm not wrong, am I? But, in my mind, I believe that I am a republican and I am willing to let Trump have a shot at running America before I decide whether he is truly a bad president or not. 
Families are being split apart because of opposing political views. Friends are turning into enemies simply because of difference in opinions. People across the nation are requiring a "safe space" for themselves because they are "triggered" due to the fact that someone has a different opinion. But like what the actual hell? Isn't that what makes humanity so creative and diverse? A difference in opinions? Romans 12:6 says, "In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well". If God gave us all different gifts and different opinions, then why should we have the right to get angry at someone who thinks differently than we do? We were all made in God's image, but we are all wired differently; therefore, we all think differently.
Hillary Clinton called herself a Christian. However, she believes that gay marriage and abortion is okay. In my mind and in my heart, I don't believe that you can think those things are okay and call yourself a Christian. Exodus 20:13 says, "You shall not murder". Leviticus 18:22 says, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination". Abortion, to me, is murder. A baby is a baby from the moment the baby is conceived. Ending the baby's life simply before it is born doesn't mean that it's not murder. Gay marriage is just wrong. There's no other way to put it. God didn't intend for it to happen, so how can it not be a sin? I don't understand how you can be okay with abortion and gay marriage and call yourself a Christian. But I do have friends who are gay. I don't agree with the way that they live, but I love them apart from the way they live. If a self-proclaiming-Christian Hillary supporter, who agreed with her policies, got angry at a Trump supporter for disagreeing with Hillary, that just wouldn't make sense in my eyes. A Christian agreeing with non-Christian policies becoming angry with another Christian for disagreeing with said policies? Does that make sense to you? Because it doesn't make sense to me.
