If Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump can do it, why can't you?
Look at this picture. It's Chelsea and Ivanka....and it's not photo-shopped. It's a real hug....really!
Did you know that Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump are friends? Not Facebook friends but real life buds. They aren't BFFs but have had a relationship for a long time. They met when their parents were friendly and have maintained their relationship for years. Even now, when things aren't so great with the parents, C & I are keeping their relationship going even though politics and new babies have kept them from seeing each other for awhile.
Which brings us back to the headline...if Chelsea and Ivanka can be friends what's your problem?!
Politics are dividing the country and breaking up long time relationships. I kinda get it. It's been a strange and bitter political season. People are taking sides and digging in.
Take a look at Facebook. A social media site that started so college students throughout the country can connect with each other has become filled with political rhetoric. I admit I'm not much better. I counted twenty political posts in the last week and that seems mild compared to others. This will be the fifth political post on my blog in July. OY!! I need a vacation!
It's okay to have different points of views. It's okay to be passionate about those views. Why can't you be civil and respectful to those who disagree?
There's no need to tell people who are Trump or Clinton supporters to de-friend on Facebook. There's no need to name call because someone doesn't support your candidate. There's definitely no need to lose real life friends of decades over a politician. This election is going to be over in about 100 days. Aren't you going to feel silly/sad/put in whatever emotion you feel that you've lost a friend over a politician?
Cmon people...grow up and act like an adult. Act like Chelsea and Ivanka.
