I've got to be honest. This political season has been taking a great personal toll on me. Frankly, I'm not sure that the effort to add my voice to the mix has been fruitful. It seems to just add more arguments and more lost friendships. I don’t like Trump, so friend X, Y and Z blast my facebook page with negativity, and name calling. I try to provide them with the facts and figures, they don’t listen. Eventually, I end up having to remove them because they get so bad, and then I get accused of being a “bully.” No, a bully won’t leave people alone. That's why I have no choice but to block, and unfriend some of the people calling me a "bully," because they won't leave me alone. And now I am torn because on the one hand, I want to be seen as a promoter of the Constitution, but I also want to be left alone. In fact, my right to be left alone is exactly why I got into politics. Too many hands regulating my life, and dipping into my wallet, then lecturing me about stuff I don't care about. (I'm looking at you Obama!)
