"He’s not my president."

I hate to break it to you, but he is. And we need to take this seriously.

This is not what, “Trumps America looks like.” This is what America’s America looks like.

The only people in this world right now that are scaring me, is everyone but Trump. I don’t think it’s okay that his supporters are bullying minorities and making other people feel scared, but for some reason, people on the other end of things think the way they are reacting is totally fine.

Burning the American flag? Seriously? How could someone be so disrespectful? Stopping traffic so hundreds of people couldn’t get home safely to their families and nurses couldn’t get to expecting mothers births? Yelling discriminating comments to cops? Wow, how hypocritical. Smashing windows? Deleting all of your facebook friends and shunning your real life friends over politics? Posting on facebook saying “Pull out your guns”? Now that is just too far.

Maybe I am heartless, but I don’t understand what all of the protesters are trying to accomplish at this point. He is not going to end up not being the President. I understand that there are the people that want to fight for their rights, but he hasn’t proposed anything official, he hasn’t even been inaugurated. I understand that there are the people want their voice to be heard, and I totally respect that, but now it is just too much, unsafe, and has destroyed our beautiful city.

People are scared, I know. I mean, how could you not be scared with the way Trump taught some of his supporters to support each other? I understand that completely and do not think it is wrong if you are feeling scared, unsafe, or silenced, but people need to realize that these people were going to act like this whether Trump made it seem okay or not, and that is up to everyone else to stop the privileged racist citizens. Instead of protesting like we are, we should be standing up when we notice someone being put down. Instead of randomly yelling at people in the streets, go tell that gas station attendant that it is not okay to say what he said to the man he just discriminated against. Instead of making those Trump supporters angrier, make them feel so loved that they are embarrassed. Be a good role model for them. Overpower them with love. Save the protests for when we actually know what is happening so we can practice peace and love now while things are still not set in stone.

Donald Trump actually has a lot of great ideas that people haven't taken into consideration. I feel bad for him in some ways. He didn't give himself a very good reputation and has a lot of baggage, but the media and the people took a lot of what he said out of context.

For example, Donald Trump supports gay rights (he actually said in multiple speeches that he wants to protect the LBGTQ community), he wants to lower costs of childcare and give woman six weeks paid maternity leave, and he wants to raise wages for women when given unfair pay.

I will tell you what I strongly believe will NOT happen. Planned parenthood will not be defunded. Racism is determined by the people, not the president. No one is getting deported unless they commit a serious crime. A wall will not be built for at least four years, if even.

I also feel bad for some Trump supporters. When you voted for Hillary, did you agree with EVERYTHING she stood for? No. Some Trump supporters do not support EVERYTHING he stands for either. Trump supporters are not all racist, homophobic, or misogynist like you think they are, and telling your friend that voted for him that they are all of those things probably sucks. Maybe they agree with some of his other policies, and that is totally okay.

Anyway, if you actually watch what Trump stands for, then you might feel a little safer. If not, then just please know that everyone is safe right now and you are not alone.

So, let me tell you my two cents: this is not “Trumps America”. This is your America. And if you want to change it. Give yourself a voice in a peaceful manner. If we change how we act, it gives a better example of how we want our America to be and our president will become the president we want him to be. Trump never hurt anybody, people hurt people because of Trump, which isn’t okay, but just think about it that way. People protested about Obama and people will protest about Trump. He needs our support since he is our president whether we like it or not.
