We Can Do Hard Things

This is what I needed to listen to when the election was over. I didn’t want anymore information. Thanks for the post election family meeting. I appreciate you.

I love all three of you! My personality is the most like sister, I have traits of Glennon and I want to be best friends with Abby. There are no words that exist to tell you how grateful I am for this podcast. I can’t wait for every Tues and Thurs to listen to a new episode. It can’t be just random that I found your podcast by accident and that every episode pertains to my life in some way. I was meant to find you three. I am truly sorry about the fear that you are all feeling about the President-elect. My parents are feeling the same way. My husband and I feel relieved. We have been living in fear for the last 3 months if Harris was elected. We feared for our lives and our businesses. We formulated an exit plan if we needed to flee from our home in case of attack from overseas. We have been crunching our #’s relentlessly trying to be ready for every scenario to keep our livelihood afloat. I sent the following text to my 2 older sons a few weeks ago. This is what I believe whole heartedly and the results of the election show me that maybe more Americans feel the same way. The question we need to ask ourselves in this election is “What can we live with?” Neither side is perfect, but we need to make tough choices. It’s literally about survival. There are country’s that hate us and that are just licking their chops right now hoping that Kamala wins! 1. I cannot live with a World War lll. Kamala is not capable of leading us into battle. I do not want to flee, hide out and lose everything we’ve worked so hard to build. 2. I am pro-choice, but abortion rights don’t matter anymore when we’re all dead. 3. I cannot live with anymore mass immigration. It’s robbing our children’s future…education, safety, etc. It is a scary thing knowing we’re not going to be around later in life to protect you three. 4. I cannot live anymore with our tax dollars taking care of the immigrants while not taking care of our own. We need to finally put our mask on first. 5. I cannot live anymore with prices continuing to rise. We have three children to educate!!! 6. I cannot live with anymore rights taken away…free speech, right to bear arms, etc. 7. I don’t want to live with everything debit- no cash. The risk of taxing our 401k and our real estate. All to support the immigrants coming into our country. Our country and way of life is slipping through our fingers. If Kamala wins, I want you to be prepared that we may need to make tough choices that we don’t want to make. End I do not listen to any of the 90% Democratic mainstream media ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN or even FOX. All those stations do is fuel my anxiety and fear. I listen to both Left and Right podcasts and use my own situation in life to come to my own conclusions. The comment I’ve heard over the last year the most is “I used to be a Democrat. The Republican Party is how the Democrats used to be.” If I had a nickel for every time I heard that! The Democrats have fooled us too many times and we’re all starting to wake up. They have lost our trust! The Dems have been in power for 12 out of the last 16 years. It is not all Trump’s fault for the current state of the country! Do I like the way Trump speaks? No! Do I like Kamala’s word salad? No! Do I feel safer with Trump? Yes! Would I love a woman president? Yes! Do I feel safe with Harris? No! I don’t have enough fingers or toes to count how many men I know that don’t have any couth. But, the fact that the media has tarnished Trump’s image with lies is just shameful. Trump has done no different than what other Democrat Presidents have done. I give him a lot of credit for still getting up and fighting as they nail him to the cross over and over. The Dems need to look in the mirror. They are not holier than thou! They have their own demons to face. Honestly, neither candidate is the end all be all to save this country. But, I do feel that after 4 years we will still have a country in tact to fight for. With Kamala, I did not feel that way. My hope is that Democrat Americans give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Watch what he does and see after 4 years if we are safer and more prosperous. Let’s stop tearing him down before he even starts. We need a serious change! Biden, Harris and the people pulling the strings did not lead us down the right path. They’re leading us into socialism. A lot of people believe that Trump’s life was spared for a reason. (The fact that the mass media barely covered the assassination and the numerous conspiracies is another story). I sincerely hope that we know the truth sometime in my lifetime. One more thing… the fact that a Kennedy switched parties is mind blowing! I thought I would never see that day. Please continue to have the hard conversations and do the hard things. We all need to hear different opinions on everything! That’s what makes up grow and think and change! I will be listening, laughing and crying along with you. I sincerely, Thank you.

This podcast is the absolute best. Abby, Glennon, and Amanda do such a great job of creating a community of caring, sensitive people who want to see a better world and I truly appreciate their brutal honesty. Their recent post election podcast made me feel less alone and better able to process my feelings. Highly recommend!

I love Glennon but the recent political messages degrading anyone who won’t vote in favor of the democratic candidate was really surprising and sad to me. I’m not sure how I feel about this podcast anymore.
