Donald Trump, "Heebie Jobbies", And Hateful America

At some point, you have to come to terms with the awesomeness that is Donald Trump. Not necessarily the type of awesome you would use to describe a really intense action movie with huge explosions, somewhat decent dialogue and a risque sex scene with Léa Seydoux. No, it's more of the awesome that you'd use to describe a shit you took that ended up clogging the toilet, causing irreversible damage, ultimately leaking vivid brown and pungently repulsive fluids out of your bathroom and onto the hallway carpet. And really only "awesome" when you're reflecting on it months after, when the damages have been paid for and the embarrassment stings less, because a girl you really liked happened to be sitting in the living room, both her vision and scent working perfectly fine.

Yeah, so Donald Trump is awesome.

And apparently New Hampshire thinks so too. It's not the latter version, however, and it's actually really terrifying to see people engage with the presumed Republican presidential candidate. His speech on Thursday was initially about renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, which is supposedly funneling all manufacturing jobs to Mexicans and them alone. But at least this was a somewhat presidential issue that Trump was going to address. Yeah, it's still the same sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic rhetoric that he's always pitched, but at least there's some policy that it can hide behind.

That speech, though, got really out of hand when Trump began taking questions and comments from those that attended the town hall. One of which in particular has gained some trending traction.

"Heeby jobbies". It sounds like a quasi-hybrid of heebie jeebies and jobs (maybe fear of losing more jobs?), but I'm not going to give the benefit of the doubt. No, what it actually is is a woman's comment regarding military veterans replacing TSA employees who also happen to be Muslim, an attempt at referring to Hijab, a symbolic clothing article for Muslim women. What's even better is the phrase was said on national television. So if we're lucky, some genius, satirical rapper will use it in a verse in one of their songs.

The idea was directed at Trump, who very simply agreed with her and moved on. His job isn't to correct the woman or at least clarify what she might have meant (could still be job anxiety). But shouldn't it be? To answer myself quickly, no it shouldn't be, because Donald Trump is the physical embodiment of the cesspool breeding ground for the horrific love couple that is hate and ignorance - and then the interbreeding of overwhelming nationalism and arrogance. So criticizing those comments would undermine his entire persona.

But New Hampshire has very callously shown the level of rapport hateful-Trump has garnered with citizens. These people have been fervently told for years now, basically since President Obama came into office, that their values are wrong, or at the very least, misguided. So they repressed those sentiments, grumbling and griping about how their country has been taken away from them. But now they have a chance to alleviate the pressure. They can now praise their spray-tan-savior, obnoxious trucker hat and all, with sickening statements like, "We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims."

That was also from the New Hampshire speech. It seems like people are feeding off his evil energy. It also seems that he's feeding off theirs. When you jokingly point out a plane flying overhead as Mexican that is "getting ready to attack", as a candidate running for presidential office, you encourage, with an uproarious splendor, the spread of hate.

The months draw fewer until voting, but the message is still the same for Trump and the people cheer louder and the media extends their coverage. And we are left standing, mouth ajar, in the presence of all his shit-clogged awesomeness.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
