In reply to the discussion: Dear Susan Sarandon: [View all]erpowers
(9,445 posts)I was using some of Susan Sarandon's own words to be sarcastic. I should have used the sarcasm emoji.
A few weeks ago Sarandon was interviewed and she said something to the effect that she was happy that so many people had been energized by the election and actions of Donald Trump.
No, I do not agree with Sarandon's burn-it-down policy. I gladly and proudly voted for Hillary Clinton in the election. I never bought into the idea that the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton were the same and the Republican Party and Donald Trump. I also rejected the idea the Hillary Clinton was more dangerous than Donald Trump. I saw the people to whom Trump aligned himself. Those people were opposed to policies I supported. I knew that if Trump was elected the policies I supported would be harmed. I also wanted older women to be able to see Hillary Clinton become President. The fact that she was a woman was not the only reason I voted for Hillary Clinton, but the chance for women who were once denied the right to vote to be able to see a woman become President was a bonus.
So, in the end I was mocking Susan Sarandon's happiness that people are more involved in politics due to the election of Donald Trump. I do realize this is just what Sarandon wanted. My post was meant to make fun of the fact that Sarandon seems to be finding a bright side to everything that is happening during the Trump Administration.
