Dear Millennials,
I regret to inform you that we have not done enough to stop the reign of Donald Trump. A man who has made it okay to be racists and rapists publicly. A man who believes that women, gays and foreigners have no place in the world.
It seems as though our knowledge of how the Government works is seriously lacking. We have always been told that, we the people have a say in our President and Government- But on Election Day, the people spoke yet Trump still became President.
We cannot blame ourselves for the misinformation, but blame the generation before us. For their lack of knowledge and for failure to provide us with the correct information.
After the announcement that Trump was President, all hell broke loose on every social media platform. Its crazy, what it takes to wake up a whole generation and make us realize that we have been duped.
At this point, I wish there was something we could have done.
As Millennials, we are slammed by being called babies who want everything handed to us when in REALITY we have it harder than other generations; College Tuition, Cost of Living vs Minimum Wage, Availability of Jobs. And yet again we get the disadvantage of having Trump as President, who will only further our debt and start a war that will cost us OUR future.
I wish we could have stood up as a generation and said, "No!" And I wish it would have worked if we did.
We need to do better. We can start by informing ourselves and others of the Government, make it more than just "politics". Then we need to find the people of our generation who knows what its like to be 22 with $30,000 in student loans and a part time job, with zero experience but a 4 year degree, and who wants to change this country for the better. We need to find those people and help them help us. Make them our governors and our senators. Change laws and make bills, so that OUR future can be secure by someone who knows what they are doing.
Millennials, it is time for us to stand up and fight for our rights. To make it known that we won't be forced to have someone like Trump as our President.
If you personally don't want to voice your opinion, then help someone voice theirs. Every voice counts and together it is louder. Support the people that want to change the country for the better, that believes in equality, that wants to end hunger and homelessness in America.
We are the future, speak up.
