Dear Left Wing,

Trump is the President. Wait, stop. Don't start crying again. It's really not worth your time. For the next four years (maybe more), the POTUS is Donald Trump. Our country sits in his hands, and he holds the power whether you like it or not. I know that scares you, but I honestly don't think you are that frightened; I think you are just downright angry. Hillary beat Bernie, and Trump beat Hillary. Your birth control may not be free anymore, and OH NO, we might actually be friends with Russia?!?!

I'm being sarcastic, and I'm not sorry. I have been incredibly disappointed with your reaction to this election. You demand free speech and expression of core beliefs, but then you destroy the inside of a Starbucks because a Republican wants to speak on your campus. You tweet "f*** Trump" at the very man who is the leader of a country that has given you such outstanding freedoms and wealth. You unfriend those who disagree with you, all while you yourself insist on 100% full respect towards what you believe. You light fires, march in the streets, and fill busy airports with shouts of rebellion. You, my friend, are fighting an embarrassing battle you will not win.

Not your President, you say? Move to Canada, then. That was your plan before the election anyways, right? I respect you as a human, really I do; you were placed on this earth for a purpose, no matter what gender, race, sexual orientation, or social class you belong to. If you voted for Hillary, I have nothing against you. You stood up for what you believe, as did I. I didn't vote for Donald because I am a "racist, sexist, misogynistic homophobe." I voted for Trump because I believe that he is going to free us from the fears of terrorism, boost our economy, and ultimately provide a better future for my children.

I know you disagree completely with what I just said, and again, I respect that. We will never agree, but I don't hate you because of it. However, I do hate the violence you have displayed since January 20, 2017. A Trump supporter can't even step onto a college campus to give a talk without being confronted by hundreds of people literally ready to kill him. Is this what you want America to become? This isn't living in peace and harmony; this is living in hypocrisy. If you, the left wing, demand free speech, then I would like it as well. Please speak what's on your mind and defend what you believe to be true, but stop throwing temper tantrums in the streets. It only makes you look like a fool.

I hope that someday you will respect the opinions and convictions of others. Donald Trump may not be "your" President, but he is America's President.

Sincerely,

A political science student who is tired of seeing pictures of angry people and shattered windows.
