Questions For The Anonymous Millennial Nurse Who Voted For Trump
Posted in Editorials on November 25th, 2016by Elizabeth
Let’s just assume this is real. I have some questions.
I’m also a women’s health nurse practitioner and I’ve cared for women of many different religions, races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations.
Do you agree that we should repeal the Affordable Care Act? How would this affect your patients?
Should abortion be illegal? If you do, how would that affect your patients?
The Affordable Care Act has resulted in many women getting IUDs. This may soon be over. Will this be good or bad for women’s health?
I don’t claim to speak for all urban white women who voted for Trump. But I’m sure I’m not alone in my astonishment at the allegations thrown around the social media echo chamber, accusing us of being racist, self-hating misogynists.
How do you think Donald Trump would respond if an employee of his made a substantiated report of being groped by a supervisor?
If you had a daughter and you noticed she was reading an article or watching a news story about Donald Trump admitting to barging in to the Miss Teen USA pageant dressing room to see the girls when they were naked, would you say anything to her about it?
Many of my left-leaning friends don’t see how other people could have valid rational reasons for opposing gay marriage, abortion, or open-border immigration policies, and still be good people. This is not tolerance
What are your valid rational reasons for opposing gay marriage?
I remember feeling I was doing my civic duty just by changing my Facebook profile picture to a Planned Parenthood emblem or the Pride Flag. I was supporting policies I believed were for the greater good—but was able to do this without making any personal sacrifice. I could pat myself on the back and march off to spread awareness, a crusader for social justice and humanism out to convert the infidels. I never asked myself whether the policies I promoted might make some people’s lives quite difficult.
Do you no longer support Planned Parenthood? If not, why?
What is wrong with Gay Pride flags?
How do Planned Parenthood and Gay Pride parades make some peoples lives quite difficult?
Do you think liberals only engage in the kinds of slacktivism you describe?
How would your argument change if you were talking to someone who put a lot more of their time, energy or even safety on the line for their beliefs?
It worries me when social justice warriors swirl their $15 glasses of wine in swanky urban restaurants and talk condescendingly about the backward hatred of rural, working America.
Did you know that Hillary Clinton won all voters making 50K or less and Donald Trump won voters making more than 50K?
Let people say what they will. Shame them publicly for cruel, offensive statements that are inconsistent with American values.
So, we can shame people who make cruel offensive statements that are inconsistent with American values, but we can’t shame people who voted for a man who made cruel and offensive statements that are inconsistent with American values?
