I am a female republican living in a liberal arts school and I voted for Trump. That does NOT make me a racist, homophobic, ignorant, sexist, uneducated individual. I do NOT hate Muslims, the LGBT community, females, blacks, Hispanics. And they DO all matter to me. Don't throw me in with the stereotypical Trump supporters because I am not.

You say that one of the reasons you hate Trump is because he says hurtful comments, guess what, that is what you're doing to everyone who supports him. As I read through Facebook or Twitter, I am being called racist and homophobic and sexist, which I am not. You preach that everyone should be treated as individuals as you throw me into a category of Trump supporting stereotypes.

Do I agree with everything Trump says... absolutely not, so why are you telling me that I am who I vote for? You say one of the reasons you hate Trump is because the disrespectful things he says about women.. have you ever stopped and really listened to the song lyrics of some rap songs and how there are many lyrics that disrespect women?

There is unfortunately still racist people out there who voted for Trump, but that is not me. You could find those people and call them ou,t but the next time you think about sharing a post on Facebook on how all supporters of him are all of these bad things, think about people like me who are NOT like that. Don't define me based on who I vote for because I know great people who voted for Trump and great people that voted for Hillary, and I will not define them and label them for whomever they voted for.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
