The Patriot Post® · Cheers to the Girls!

In an emotional interview on Election Day, Grand Rapids, Michigan, resident Jason Faasse tearfully told CNN that he had voted for Kamala Harris with his daughters in mind, particularly “their bodies, their choice.”

According to Mr. Faasse:

I have three daughters, four children overall, and women’s rights is pretty important to them and my daughters. Sorry, I’m getting a little emotional about that, I didn’t think that I was going to do that. But you know, just their bodies, their choice type of mentality. You know, I want them to grow up in a world that’s welcoming to everybody. So, yeah, that’s why I cast my vote today.

In response to Mr. Faasse, let me tell you why I voted for Donald Trump:

I am emotional as well. I was thinking of all the women in my life (young, old, and in between) when I cast my vote for Trump.

I don’t want the women in my life to think Kamala Harris is the role model.

I want them to know that women are strong, capable, articulate, wise, intelligent, independent, and confident.

That they don’t need to sleep their way to any position at any time. If they aren’t qualified for the job, work to become qualified. Don’t become a notch on someone’s bedframe or lower your self-worth for any man, no matter what he promises you.

That they don’t have to stay with a man who sleeps with their nanny.

That they should never tolerate a man who hits women.

That they must respect boundaries and borders. Otherwise, your privacy, security, and personal and communal sovereignty will be violated and/or compromised.

That they can be truth-tellers and truth-seekers, investigating the full story rather than relying on the unreliable to interpret scenarios for them.

That they can realize that the elite and most visible people (a.k.a. celebrities and rock stars) aren’t looking out for the common folk. These people are looking for spotlights and soundbites.

That they should be ready to do the job they are hired/appointed to do. A title is merely a vanity unless they are willing to do the hard work to fulfill their responsibilities.

That they can be their authentic selves: know what they believe and don’t apologize for it.

That they can compete in women’s sports against women and share locker rooms with other women.

That they can have convictions without apology, permission to express them, and firmly cling to Truth.

So, yes, when I cast my vote, I, too, thought of the young women in my life — the sisters, daughters, nieces, and friends who are watching and learning from the choices we make as a nation. I have no problem with a woman, regardless of her race, background, or ethnicity, holding the highest office in our country. I believe that strong, competent female leaders are an essential part of our future, and I want to see women in positions of power who can truly inspire, unite, and lead us forward.

However, that leader must embody the qualities I want these young women to aspire to: honesty, integrity, and a genuine commitment to serving all Americans, not just those who already support them.

It is evident that the majority of Americans agree with me.
