I'm not one for politics, so I'll keep this post short. I just figured I'd throw my two cents in on everything that has happened in the past few days.
I'll admit, I haven't been paying much attention to the stuff leading up to the election this year. I knew that like almost every year, both candidates were crummy and didn't offer much to our country that we don't already have. Lies and corruption that I have no control over? No thanks, pass. I had better things to spend my time worrying about- such as homework assignments and keeping up with my grades. But now that we have President Trump... the country seems to have gone beserk! Rioting and highways being closed off, cars being crashed, buildings being torched down in protest... that's no longer protest folks, that's straight up illegal. While none of this is amusing in any way, I do find it funny that these "protests" are being instigated by the very same group of people who love to call out Trump supporters for being hateful and bigoted. The same people who were so scared of a Trump presidency because of the hate crimes they thought would ensue.... The only hate crimes I'm seeing are against Trump and anyone who voted for him. I see my friends getting into full-blown arguments on Facebook because of their views and such things as "If you voted for anyone but Hillary, please explain to your female, LGBT, Muslim, etc. etc. friends why you don't care about their rights" and nothing pisses me off more. For God's sake, who you vote for does not define you as a person! Everyone has flown off the hook and forgotten that the same kindhearted person they are friends with is still that same person, no matter which way they voted. I think that's the bottom line here- people need to remember that elections don't define people. The way you react to things not going your way, however... that WILL define you, and your maturity level. Please keep that in mind before ripping shit all over my newsfeed for no reason. - Maddie
