On January 20th, 2017, Donald Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States. It has been only a few days since he was inaugurated, and President Trump has already dove into his new job. He has shown he is trying to keep the promises he made by signing and ordering different executive orders. Trump is certainly proving that he will be different than any president before.
In the past few days, and months leading up the inauguration, there has been a lot of controversy, violence, hate, protests, marches, riots, etc.. Most recently was the Women's March and a whole lot of rioting and protests with signs of "Not My President", picking on Barron Trump, judgement towards the new First Lady, and other hatred against the first family. As I scroll through social media, the only thing I see are posts about how much people hate Trump, hate the policies he is signing off on, hate the family in general, or the opposite showing people's love and support.
Now, I will admit, for a while I posted political things before the inauguration. I showed my support through postings. However, that was before the inauguration. It has been a few days since and people are still posting these things.
I get that he is our President. He is going to be in the limelight for a while. The inauguration just happened, so he is in a huge spotlight right now on his actions.
But come on already.
The election is over. The deed is done. You can say not your President, or that you support him, but it won't change anything. He is President.
It is time to get over the fact that this happened. Social media has much more of a purpose than posting your political views or attacking others directly or indirectly through your shares and posts.
Again, I understand he is in the spotlight now, but can't we just cut back on it a little? Can't we find some love in America again?
As one of my high school teachers recently said, let's all stop posting and ranting about Trump and politics on places like Facebook. If you really feel the need to continue to talk non-stop about this, then do it in face to face conversations. Facebook and other social media should go back to being a place for photos, funny and cute videos, poetry, inspirational quotes, recipes, baby pictures, and other things like that. Not political things that will tear people apart and be misunderstood through the internet.
Yes, again, I posted some political things as well. However, that is because I attended the inauguration and had photos to share. And no matter who would have won, it is still a surreal experience to witness history.
But I am saying, everyone all together, including me, should go back to loving each other and not attacking others for their views. Let's just leave the politics alone for now. I think everyone needs a break from it and could use a breather.
Trump is President. Some people like that, some people don't. Let's all move on and continue with our lives as normal.
God Bless America, and I can't wait to go back to seeing baby pictures of everyone and hysterical videos!
