No, I'm Not a Sore Loser Democrat

I'm not sad because Hillary lost, I'm scared because Trump won.

No, I'm Not a Sore Loser Democrat

I want to start off by saying, you're right, the election did not turn out how I wanted. However, I'm not a sore loser democrat. I am scared. I've seen a lot of people say that people who are complaining about the election results are sore losers or only protesting because they did not get their way. That isn't the case. I was a mess on Tuesday, crying, because a very scary man was elected president, not because a republican won. I'm scared because a man was elected who has brought out the awful racism, bigotry, and misogyny out in this country.

Being a woman, I am scared that men will think it's okay to assault me because our president can (as if this wasn't a big problem in America anyway.) I am scared that my birth control will no longer be affordable and even taken away. I am scared that the government might have control over what I want to do with MY body. I am scared that I will be called horrible names for being a feminist and standing up for women's rights. I am scared that we will make no progression for women to make the same amount of money as men. I am scared that I will have a child during Trump's presidency, and I won't get maternity leave.

I'm not just scared for myself and other women. I am scared for African Americans, Mexicans, all minorities, Muslims, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community. I'm scared that as a college student, my college tuition will become even more unaffordable. Being part of the lower-middle class, I am scared that the burden of the economy will fall heavily on me and others in the middle class because of a billionaire who doesn't even pay taxes. Trump isn't our president until January, but already within a week, some of these awful things have happened to fellow Americans:

So no, I am not just some sore loser democrat. I am terrified for myself, and others, and the state of this country. Imagine how privileged you need to be to think minorities are being dramatic.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
