So, the day after the election. We've made it. Or we think we have? When I woke up this morning, I expected to see my group chat, Facebook and Twitter feeds, and Snapchat blowing up with who won. My own mother texted me at 6:30 a.m. telling me who won. I'm not going to fill your heads with who should've won, and who everyone should have voted for. That's the beauty of America: we all have our own opinions, we all can vote for whomever we want, and we can choose not to share. But this election raises an important topic of discussion: the use of social media in political elections and politics in general. So, to make things a little lighter on this cloudy day (it's cloudy right now where I'm from): explaining this election according to the most precious gift God has ever given, puppies, will make everything better.
The night of a debate and everyone posts on Facebook their opinions:
It's okay, post your opinions. This is a free country. I don't have to like them though.That one person who comments on every post you try to make concerning the election:
STOP COMMENTING ON ALL MY POSTS BECAUSE I SIMPLY DO NOT CARE.That moment when you realize you have no idea who you're voting for:
Who to vote for when the media is calling one a racist, sexist, homophobe and the other one a criminal? Where is the line drawn at media posting about candidates and their personal lives/personalities?
When you hear the candidates saying they want to create jobs:
Is it possible that I can sell my GPA?You don't want to be a part of this election but you keep checking Twitter for more updates:
*Opens Twitter* sees tweet from Donald Trump *closes Twitter* then proceeds to open Twitter back again. Repeat process.You've had it with the election coverage and want real and positive news:
C'mon American media, we want to hear the real news.
When something new comes up in the news about a candidate and you're just like:
SURPRISE! Another update on those emails we keep hearing about!When one candidate slips up but the other one slips up too:
Crash and burn.
When you're upset about the election but you remember you still have a cuddle buddy:
I just want a puppy. Or two. Or a hundred. Is that too much to ask for?
What you wanted to do during the debates:
Every comment they make requires a stress ball. No matter who you support, it seems that being on live TV makes them nervous and say the wrong thing.What you want to do now that the election is over:
But not actually because college gets in the way and have to write three papers and study for final exams all while trying to find internships and jobs.
Remember that we live in America, the land of the free:
Where dogs can run around in adorable hotdog costumes, right?
I don't care who you voted for, just remember that the world still has puppies and that's all I need. #merica
