Jill Jones: Trump supporter doesn’t care about the haters

I am a white woman. I am not going to apologize for being white. I am not going to apologize for being a woman. I am not going to feel guilty for being white. I am not going to feel guilty for being a woman. You want to hate me because I’m white, go right ahead. You want to hate me because I’m a Republican, go right ahead. You want to hate me because I support Donald Trump for president over a woman who has consistently lied and been totally dishonest for years, go right ahead. Hate all you want.

Here’s the thing: I really don’t care if you hate me. Doesn’t hurt me, doesn’t make me feel bad, doesn’t affect my life at all. But it does affect your life. I wouldn’t want to be you.

Jill Jones, Modesto
