An opinionated prompt

It's that time again when politicians are hitting the road and slinging mud. 

I don't care what side of the aisle you root for, it is time to get opinionated. It doesn't matter if you see the other side's views as hurtful, hateful, ignorant, misguided or even bat-shit crazy; what matters is that you espouse one of these for your prompt.

That's right. For this exercise you are going to open your mind and step into someone else's shoes. Take a moment to write a  short essay espousing and defending a political position or talking point that you adamantly disagree with. 

You can be funny or serious. This is your writing, so do what you want with it. Please, try to be thorough and honest as you fight for what you don't believe in to get the most out of this activity.
