Seriously, we're a democracy.

Please Stop Trying To Protest The Outcome Of The Election
wikimedia.org

Alright, I think that the election hype has died down enough for me to write this article. Donald J. Trump is our president. Let me say that again, Donald J. Trump is the next President of the United States. If that still resonates with you as a negative sentence, please listen to it until it doesn't effect you. See, Donald Trump is not going to be that bad.

Now, this isn't me supporting Donald Trump. I do not like the man whatsoever. I did not vote in this election because I could not support either candidate, so all the Hillary supporters can be just as upset at me right now. Basically, my mindset was that our country was going to be worse off no matter who was elected because Obama is the homie.

Regardless, Donald Trump is the President-Elect. He has been elected President of the United States by the people of America. Not many people are pleased about this, but I am sure that almost the same number of people, if not more are pleased about the results. I mean, a majority of the American people elected him president. Just because they aren't on social media doesn't mean that they don't exist.

To this point of this article: the people who are complaining and protesting about Donald Trump being elected need to stop.

I have already stated that I am not a Trump fan. Not by a long shot. I think Donald Trump is a sexist, a bigot, and egomaniac, and a selfish bastard. I do not want him running our country, but he is. Regardless of my desires, he is running the country, and there is nothing I can do about that.

Your blacked out twitters will not change this fact. Although I respect that fact that you do not want Donald Trump as president and you will inconvenience your own lives to illustrate this point, you are not going to change this. Although I will always support the fact for you to protest Donald Trump, you will not be able to change the outcome the election. Additionally, wearing a safety pin will not change the election. You will get your point across loud and clear which is absolutely respectable, but you will not change the outcome of the election.

Our country is a democracy for a reason. We voted for the president, and we need to deal with the outcome. This doesn't mean we need to like it, and this doesn't mean you can't protest the atrocity of a president Donald Trump will make, but this does mean you cannot protest the outcome of the election. I hate to be that guy, but if you are going to complain about the outcome of the election and ask for it to be changed for the next four years, please leave this country. We elected Donald Trump, whether you like it or not, and you cannot change that fact.

That is all I have to say on the matter. I am not happy that Donald Trump has been elected president, by any means. However, I respect the system and I understand that there is nothing we can do to change this, nor should we. Our country is the greatest in the world for our freedom, and this is an inherent principle of this freedom. Protest Trump's idiocy all you wish, but please shut up about trying to change the election. Thank you.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
