I am a very blessed Malayalee who never was interested in politics both in Kerala and here in the USA. Considering what I grew up with, what the politicians have provided, and the politics that I experienced here, made a difference in my life later. Although it didn’t make a difference in my personal life, I slowly started to pay more attention to politics because it helped me understand how the government worked and how it could affect the lives of ordinary people. When it became apparent that politics has a dirty side, my attention began to turn to finding ways to isolate the good from the bad. The leaders who have good inspiring words attracted me to pay even more attention to today’s politics and how they tackle the issues affecting you and me. When Obama made an excellent speech, I was reminded of some politicians who could captivate the audience. My interest began to focus more on who could make my life better. My differentiation between the two major parties allowed me to assess their ideologies more deeply. When I felt both parties had some flaws, a third party known as independent gave me more hope. When Ross Perot was running as an independent, I voted for him even when I knew he had less chance of winning. That is ok. It was my decision. That is one of the incredible opportunities in this country for anyone rich or average. I belong to the average person who can speak my mind in this country without fear. I am truly thankful for this opportunity. For the last few years, I happened to compare the two administrations. With all the flaws in both parties, I made my decision to embrace the party that Donald J. Trump believes in. He has shown strength and courage in dealing with tough issues and other international challenges. This is not the time to experiment with a person who has practically no experience in the international arena. We are living in a very dangerous world. Even some smaller countries have become stronger with their weapons of mass destruction in attacking other countries that do not agree with them. Not everybody thinks the same way. Any provocation from one country that opposes the other country will result in a catastrophic outcome. We will not have the luxury of time to correct or apologize. That is the reality. We should not let the end justify the means. After living in this country for the last 52 years, that is my decision. It is not an easy decision. Sadly, I have seen a group of people among Malayalees that started “ back-stabbing“. You support a person because you hate the other person is not a good idea. Again it is their choice. I don’t have the power or intention to question their motives. If they see that is the right choice, I respect their decision. I hope they do the same with my decision. If you decide to correct me, please do so with respect and politely. Any other way will not only be dealt with unkindly but also will give me a chance to expose you with the utmost words of wisdom. Oops. ( That is not what I meant to say :)
