Stupidity Intervention: How To Address Your Friend Who Supports Trump
Daily mail

It’s that daunting time in election season: half of the states have voted and the winners have been predicted. And that winner is Donald J. Trump (yikes).

It is most likely that you have a poor, confused soul in your life who wants to “Make America Great Again” with the help of sprinkle of Cheeto dust, bad hair, and a history of manipulative scandals.

Lucky for you, I have found a solution to blatant ignorance and hatred for fellow humans! Follow my step by step program (posted below) to get your fellow millennials back on track to American prosperity.

Step 1: Be the Trump

The most appealing thing about Donald J. Trump is how he speaks: with no facts, purpose, or depth. Trump supporters love not having to actually think about the problems facing America. I mean, that would require research, and like... education?!

Inspired citizens, patriotic gods of American soil, uninformed racist sexist xenophobic bigots... whatever you want to call them, they love the way Trump speaks! Why would he give straightforward policies and viable information when he can say things like, “We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning” and “We are going to make America great again, but we’re going to do it the old-fashioned way” and people will believe him, just like that? If he gave too much information or actually stated his real opinions, people would have a factual reason to oppose him, so he steers clear of anything that is “too” political. So, my fellow informed and compassionate liberals and conservatives alike, we must do just that. Step one is be the Trump.

How do we do this, you say? Well, an example would be when someone asks “Why isn’t Trump a good candidate?” Instead of rambling on about how he has offended some of our greatest allies, is dividing the country, encouraging violence, and making a fool of our political system across the globe, we would say “He’s just not good, I don’t like him, don’t vote him” and BAM! Trump supporters will be feeling the Bern and cruisin' the Cruz in no time. They didn’t have to think—we thought for them! The key to step one is to not get into detail, not prove anything, not give any facts, even. That would be too much information for Trumpees to handle, and we can’t have that!

Step 2: Tweet dumb things

Now, step one got the ball rolling; Trump supporters are convinced that they shouldn’t vote for Trump, but they are still confused... Twitter is the political platform of our generation, and TrumpTrain #passengers seem to be really passionate about expressing their voice in really dumb tweets. At least we know where they got it from...

Silly Donald, your ancestors were immigrants to the Native Americans (the only true citizens of the land).

Ha ha, anyway.

My friend started some Twitter beef with me, and gave me a wonderful informative stance on why he is on the #TrumpTrain (Get on or get on the tracks! Merica!).



Oh? I don't remember Trump talking about that part of his body?.

Oh, wait... Nope. He's right.

The future president of the United States does not fall under the small hands, small genitals rule, and he wants everyone to know it.

Darn you for that falsified piece of art, nude painter!

My next favorite is this one:

Yes, because his Slovenian, previously supermodel, wife is exactly the type of racism Trump displays! You are SO right, Twitter user!

And finally,

Oh, this one is great. Twitter user #2 is Christian, so he wants to support Trump, a true man of Christian values. I mean, his political campaign has “Jesus” written all over it. The hatred of immigrants and refugees, the disrespect of women and other cultures, the gambling and all of the lies... AMEN. (Side note: yes, I am aware that Trump has said he supports legal immigration, it would be a great system if it was that easy).

Anywho, Trump is so in line with the bible… I mean, consider Deuteronomy 10:17-19, Leviticus 19:33-34, Jeremiah 7:5-8… Trump screams love, acceptance, tolerance, and non-judgement.

So, we must also tweet dumb and false things....

Start off with something like “Trump eats #puppies” and “Trump doesn’t like #pizza” then lead into “Trump hates middle-class #conservative #white #males” and “Trump is #raising #taxes” ...or if you really want to go all out, tweet “THIS JUST IN: TRUMP #COMES #OUT OF THE #CLOSET”

That will really get them going. Play on that fear. It’s the Trump way.

Hopefully, after this, Trump supporters will be reminded that he is actually a liberal (gasp!) and pull their vote.

Step 3: Sit back and watch

Well, you have done all you can. You have tweeted and told the Trumpees why they shouldn’t support a man like this for president:

Now we just wait for them to graduate eighth grade, because that seems to be where their education lies.

Thanks, friends. Enjoy the Cheeto truff.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
