An Open Letter To The Anti-Trumpers

It is time to be rational and not lose ourselves in emotions

An Open Letter To The Anti-Trumpers
Yahoo News

Dear everyone who wants to accuse everyone who voted for Trump to be xenophobic, misogynist, nationalist, racist, bigots, hateful etc...

Please stop. Do you not hear your own words? Do you guys do not hear the intolerance? Are you guys blinded at the people who you called a friend and see this hate now? Are they any different? How can you preach tolerance, equality and promoting peace when you can't show it to others? What kind of person has to openly bash someone for their beliefs, choices, views, ethics etc? Is this not the same type of bullying the left swears to stop, to except everyone for who they are? Please stop with all the name calling and shaming. Why is it that a woman who voted for Trump has to be shammed for not voting for Hillary? Is there some deep connection she is missing or is just voting for a woman means you are one. Is that really moral or ethical?

Guys, we are better than this. We understand your right to protest but you have lost all control and let your emotions take over. Is taking to the streets really going to prove anything? Is setting fires, destroying property, etc. really something to be proud of? Guys, come on, please stop and look at yourselves. Let's be honest, most of the stupid, obscene things he has said will not come true. I understand why you are fearful, I get it. To blame others as we are the reason the problem exist or to place the "white people" card is an illogical and irrational argument that it is really not worth anyone's time who wants to get things done.

If you are worried we will be like the Nazi's, we won't be because there was more than just some hate speech and xenophobia going around. The Nazi's came to power by a country that was so poor that their money was worthless and used a barter system to survive. They had no military, they had to pay everyone back for a war they did not start, they were basically left naked and ashamed. This was the foundation for Hitler, not for Trump and not even close to America. This country will never become Nazi's Germany.

You need to understand what happened, the DNC failed you. Bernie was an outsider and they rigged it against him. There will be no crazy threats and changes to the LBGT community, there will be no rounds ups of Muslims. The last time that happened was in 1941 under the direction of a Democrat. People do not want the same thing we had in the first Bush era. People have been hurting. People have lost jobs. People want to have what out grandparents had. To the millennials who took it as a joke, you proved past generations right, it was a joke. To the people who did not, you voted for what you thought was best. There is not a "one size fits all" agenda. People want to feel safe, they want jobs, they want less taxes, they want to be a reason, not a beggar. The past polices and more regulations did not bring this. People really do not care who you date anymore or marry. Some people do, but the progress is not lost at all and it will not be stalled.

Guys, please be rational and not emotional. Stop the name calling, bullying, shaming, disrespecting,acting childish, and irrational behavior. Show us this tolerance, peace and equality you always talk about. Actions speak louder than words but so does how you use those actions.

Just an FYI, in both 2008 and 2012 no one marched and protested Obama, people who lost stayed home, went to work and moved on acting civil...

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
