Trump Supporters Strike Again

Trump supporters might want to hit the books a little harder

Trump Supporters Strike Again

Recently on The Daily Show, which is a television show that airs on Comedy Central, I saw a video where interviewer, Jordan Klepper, went to a Trump rally in Wisconsin and asked random Trump supporters to answer questions and complete the statements. You may be thinking "Oh well it's Comedy Central so it's probably all a joke anyways," and I thought it was too, until I saw how sincerely these supporters were answering the questions. I like to think most of Trump's supporters as people who become bandwagon fans of a football team after they somehow magically win the Super Bowl. Bandwagon fans only know the bare minimum facts about their team, just like Trump supporters knowing a small amount of facts about Trump. Trump supporters seem to have tunnel vision though when it comes to the ideas they are supporting. Here are some of the conversations Klepper had with Trump supporters.


Klepper: "Fill in the blank for me, two men getting married is blank."

Older Gentleman: "Disgusting"

Klepper: "Actually the answer is legal in the United States."

Older Gentleman: "Oh it's legal, but I don't like it."


To you older gentleman, do you know what else is legal in the United States? Putting pineapple on your pizza, I don't like when other people do it, but its legal, and as long as it's legal and people are doing it I really don't care. Just as long as I can get my triple cheese thin crust pizza I am fine.


Woman: "It's important to believe in our, you know, have respect for everyone's religion."

Klepper: "So you respect Christianity?"

Woman: "Yes"

Klepper: "Judaism?"

Woman: "Yes"

Klepper: "Islam?"

Woman: "No"



Woman: "The Presidency is a man's job."

Klepper: "I have women are qualified to be president."

Woman: "No, a female has more hormones, she could start a war in 10 seconds, if she has hot flashes, whatever, BOOM!"

Klepper: "Haven't all wars been started by men?"

Woman: "Mmm... yes."



Klepper: "Do you think a gay couple should have the same rights as a..."

Woman: "No, I don't. I really don't. I don't think it's fair."

Klepper: "To the gay couple?"

Woman: "Well, no, but, the regular couple, they work so hard, you know? And the gay couple they want more."

Klepper: "Do you...? When you say more, do you mean equal?"

Woman: "Yeah they want equal in that."

Klepper: "And that's too much?"

Woman: "Yeah"


First off, how is wanting the be equal so much to ask for? At least we weren't asking for an increase in pay or the ability to not pay taxes. All the LGBTQ community wants is equality, to feel apart of the population. Maybe it's just me, but she sounds a little absurd in my opinion.


My last little word for Trump supporters, remember back when your mom would tell you to think about what you say before you actually say it? That is the motto you need to go by, because I am sick and tired of here these contriversal, hypocritical, dumb comments coming out of your mouths.


Thank you

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.

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.
