'Merican Election
I really really really really really really really really hate politics with a weird passion. I like discussing politics but I hate that I do in general. Why? Because politics is so divisive and it can break or make new friendships. Like I have this friend on Facebook that is a big ol Trump supporter after Ted Cruz decided to not continue running for president. However, there are some people that cannot handle other people's opinions. One guy commented, "Dude, are you really a Trump Supporter? Just unfriend me now" and then my friend commented "Done". Like wow, I thought people would be tolerant of other people's opinions.

I honestly cannot wait until this election cycle is over because everything from my IG, Facebook, and even YouTube is filled with people mocking presidential candidates especially Donald Trump. I also noticed that many of my friends on Facebook are very political when you would think that they're not into politics! Man, was I wrong
I personally do not care for who you vote for but other people who passionately hate Donald Trump cannot stand someone who supports Trump. What makes me so mad is that on YouTube there has been videos posted of people causing chaos and fighting people all cause they hate Trump. There was a Trump rally in San Jose and man, people that were trying to leave the parking garage and that were Trump supporters were being harassed, punched, kicked, and their cars were being scratched, kicked, puncturing wheels. My response to this is "Animals." Despite these people being of Hispanic and Black descent, I do not agree nor do I condone this mob minded behavior. I thought that Hillary & Bernie supporters would be the peace type of people, but man was I wrong. (This isn't to say that Trump supporters are always peaceful because Trump supporters can get violent as well) I found out that it was quite the opposite.
There was also an instance where a homeless woman was protecting Trump's star in Hollywood's hall of fame after being destroyed and crowds of people were bullying here and taking her stuff that she had. It honestly broke my heart and pissed me off that people could be so intolerant. I hate race baiting politics as well which is politics where if I am of one race, I have to agree with the majority of my races opinions. So for example, a black person does not support black lives matter is a bigot and a deplorable.
Honestly guys, what I am trying to say is that we are in college and don't be acting like savages if you do not agree with someone politically. It is a sign of immaturity and you look like a 5 year old. Don't waste your parents money and governments aid to act like an intolerant 20 year old who acts like you're 10. Please. We can do this in a civil manner. As for now however, go out and vote tomorrow! I'll link the video of the homeless lady being attacked by a group of people:
there are some F'd up people in this world man. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should receive no threats or violence in return. people need to learn to respect each other and their opinions. that lady in the video did not deserve any of that. one man in the video said she got what she put out. even though all she did was sit peacefully on the sidewalk. she received bullying, shoving, and they all talked down to her and harassed her. its just not right. hopefully it will blow over once these stupid elections are done.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Clayton. I believe we should all be allowed to express our opinion and it is wrong for people to harass others based on who they support. I might not agree with who you support but i do respect your opinion. I know you dont support Trump by the way but still who ever you support is up to you. We must all have respect for others because we wouldnt want people judging us based on what we believe.
