[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why anyone would have framed this election to their kids in terms of nuclear codes, war, losing their friends, hate, etc.  It's a election.  Yes, everyone thought Hillary would win but you had to know there was a chance she wouldn't.  I'm so uncomfortable with this notion that many of my friends implanted in their kids that Hillary represented good and Trump represented evil.  I don't like Trump and didn't vote for him, but to tell children he would do a lot of bad things (failing to mention the role of Congress, too) is irresponsible.  My 2nd grader heard about some things he said from friends.  He also heard from Clinton's campaign commercial on "your children are watching".  I told him there are people who say things they shouldn't say all the time and it's up to us to stand up to statements like that when we hear them in daily life.  Then we talked about some of the differences in beliefs between Republicans and Democrats and the role Congress plays, too.  [/quote]
