Final Thoughts On The Election Before The Actual Election

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke

Final Thoughts On The Election Before The Actual Election
The Californian

Someone I greatly admire wrote this poignant Facebook status about the ideology of Trump. The source wishes to remain anonymous.

" Inspiring hate [and] manipulating people's fears. Trump truly is evil. Romney wasn't evil, just greedy. Bush wasn't evil, just dumb. Trump really is evil personified. I don't get how people can support him. Are they just blinded by party lines? Is the propaganda that compelling to them? How can turning your back on your fellow citizens be good for this country? We are the land of immigrants--"The Great Melting Pot;" the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of this. Of us taking in those who need a home, a country to call their own. This man is the path to darkness, to war both domestic and foreign...READ! Read what he is saying, read what his policies are [and] open your eyes. Please."

To expand on these ideas, I will say that when adding your opinion to any online social media site, do not immediately react with hate. React with proof; react with facts! Voice your opinion however you wish, but remember that love should be the foundation of all that you do.

To support this and lack hypocrisy, I included some articles below that deserve a read. (These are 3 of the most recent ones about the sexual assault comments, etc.)

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

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?
