Please, I'd like your opinion

An Open Letter to A Trump Supporter
ABC

Dear Trump Supporter,

I’m writing you this letter because Election Day is right around the corner and I’d like to know if you are still standing by your candidate.

Not sure whether you supported him from day one or somewhere along the way, but I’m curious to know where you stand at this point. As you know, your candidate has been under fire for the past few weeks for several different controversies, ranging from a lewd tape to possibly refusing to accept the result of the election. Regardless of what it may be, I guess I’d like to pick your brain a bit to find out how you argue to support his claim.

I’ve heard the “what Bill did was much worse” argument, and although it may be a valid claim, he isn’t the person being discussed. Diverting the attention to someone that isn’t running for office doesn’t really answer the question. Mr. Trump says that what the women are saying are all “lies” and that there is no evidence to support their claim. While it is true that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, do you believe that Mr. Trump has evidence to support his claim? Is there evidence to prove that what the women are saying is false? As far as the tape goes, he admits to kissing women and touching women inappropriately, so how do you argue for that? These are all questions that I’ve asked myself lately, but because I am not a Trump supporter, I can’t come up with an unbiased answer, so I’d like your help.

There are so many things that I’m unsure about concerning Mr. Trump. There’s been so many outlandish statements along the way that I’m not really sure how to narrow it down to one to ask you about, but I’m confident you know what I mean. One of the wildest claims so far – at least in my opinion – is the claim of a “rigged” election. Several experts have stated publically that it would be incredibly difficult for a U.S. election to be “rigged.” So where is Mr. Trump getting his information to make such a claim? Is there unknown, unseen evidence for that, too? Mr. Trump is insulting the very basis of our democracy – a free and open election. American voters across the nation will go out on Election Day and support the candidate that they believe will do the best job at running our nation. Mr. Trump, like Mrs. Clinton, ran a yearlong campaign that he and his team managed the way they thought best. So to say that the election is “rigged,” just because he is behind in the polls, sounds a little bit like whining to me.

So, I say to you Mr./Mrs. Trump Supporter, please help me by offering me your opinion for support of Donald Trump for President of the United States.

Sincerely,

A Decided Voter

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
