[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.   [/quote]

Because a lot of adults truly think Trump will usher in the apocalypse, so that's how they have been discussing it at home. Whereas in most of the rest of the country people think Hillary is the antichrist. It was a very polarizing election and kids being upset is just a reflection of their parents fretting openly.[/quote]

[b]And that all seems really irresponsible.  Kids are too young to process that and it's needlessly scary for them.[/quote]

It is but most parents suck[/b][/quote]

Many parents who discussed this with issue with their kids did so because their young kids accidentally saw Hillary's frightening ads which were airing during kid and family programs during times when kids were awake and watching TV.

Our kid cried about it a couple of times after seeing the "kids are watching" ad.

It was irresponsible of her to buy air time during kid programming for an attack and scary advertisements.

I was very angry that she did this to children.[/quote]
