It is Important to Talk to Your Children Frightened by Anti-Trump Anarchists
Seldom during our nation’s history have we seen such hate and vitriol as that which has erupted from the ‘organized left’ in recent months. The daily barrage of news reports showing angry, violent mobs rioting in the streets to ‘resist’ the new Trump administration is taking its toll on children throughout the country. Youngsters are understandably frightened by this unprecedented display of anti-American sentiment. The liberal mantra to ‘resist’ is of course only a euphemism for their real goal of overthrowing the United States government. Their tactics are reminiscent of the Bolshevik Revolution that catapulted Russia into a seventy year nightmare and it is no coincidence that 2017 marks the 100 year anniversary of that infamous event.
It is important to talk to your children about the current situation and to give them an opportunity to express their concerns and fears. Limiting exposure to television and other electronic means of portraying these unsettling images will go a long way toward alieving their anxieties. Paying a visit to your child’s school to make sure that teachers are not reinforcing this anti-American nonsense, as they are often wont to do, can also be helpful. We should actually embrace this as an opportunity to emphasize the great things about America and to explain the many positive plans the new Trump Administration has for our country. Children will also be reassured when they learn about the many great difficulties our great country has come through in the past, including wars, depressions and even failed administrations like the one that just ended. Finally, remind your children that those in the military and law enforcement who are sworn to protect us are overwhelmingly in support of the United States of America and its new administration and will never allow these anti-American anarchists to prevail.
