Desire for freedom elected Trump, not fear

by Steve Jordahl

The vote to elect Donald Trump to become the 45th President of the United States has been characterized by the Democrats and much of the media as the uprising of an angry and fearful America against the Washington establishment, but is contended that what they are missing is what people were actually voting for.

President Barack Obama gave his analysis of the November 8th election in a press conference in Greece on Tuesday. He told reporters that the economic recovery was difficult.

“[The election results] left fear and anxiety in a lot of people,” the president expressed.

Obama claimed that some of the reactions to Trumps’ victory can be confusing.

“You’ve seen some of the rhetoric among Republican elected officials and activists and media – some of it pretty troubling and not necessarily connected to facts – but being used effectively to mobilize people,” the second-term Democrat insisted.

Essentially, Obama was sending the message that a bunch of fearful and anxious people voted for what most on the Left call a misogynistic, racist, homophobe to try something different.

“Sometimes people just want to try something to shake things up,” the commander-in-chief added.

But Gary Bauer of American Values sees things much differently than the outgoing president.

“Millions of Americans believe what the Founders believed,” Bauer asserts. “They think that this is a special place, that we’ve done more to advance the cause of liberty and opportunity than any nation in the history of the world. I think Trump/Pence spoke to that.”

The Christian leader also argued that the very slogan of Trump’s 2016 campaign spoke of hope for a new America.

“How refreshing it was to millions of Americans to hear somebody running for office say, “Make America Great Again,” Bauer impressed. “That’s an aspirational idea.”

Bauer concluded that it was “not fear and anxiety,” that won Trump the presidency, but Americans’ desire for “freedom and liberty.
