4 Questions For Every Donald Trump Supporter

Donald Trump's campaign has been built off of white nationalist fears. These fears bring about violence at rallies and high numbers of vitriolic language on social media. The candidacy of Donald Trump has also brought about this fermented disdain of the media. While complaints of a "liberal media bias" are not new, the jeering of the press core is. Many Trump supporters I would hope do not condone violence, but with November 8th coming more and more close, this election is no longer about Donald Trump. This election is about the Trump voter. Who are you? What do you believe in?

Those two questions are going to help American democracy in the long run. Donald Trump has come to the public spotlight and will hopefully leave it on November 9th. His supporters will continue to participate in elections. For the future of this country and in order for us to get to any place of understanding, there are four important questions that must be asked of his supporters.

1. Your candidate has said that he wants to "Make America Great Again". Can you name is century or decade where America was truly great?

2. If you can, can you also see why another group of people in this country can see that century or decade as not great?

3. Donald Trump has made lewd comments about women and women's body parts, then excused them as locker room talk. If you found out that your child made similar comments to Donald Trump, would you discipline them?

4.) In all three debates that Donald Trump participated in with Hillary Clinton, he has bragged about having less experience that she has. 30 years to none in government service. If you applied for an American Express Platinum Card with a credit score of 300, do you reasonably think that you have a chance of getting it?

With these four questions answered, we can see if there is any hope that our country can come together around common morals and deceny standards or if we are going to forever be embattled in hate and disagreements.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
