"Grab 'em by the p*ssy"- Possibly your future President

How Can Women Support Trump?

This year is the first presidential election I am eligible to vote in and boy do I feel lucky. I may be young, but this is the craziest, most hostile election I’ve ever seen. I’ve never really been big into politics or that interested to be completely honest, but since this is my first time voting, I obviously needed to have an open mind and submerge myself into the craziness that is this presidential election.

After watching videos, news coverage and quite frankly just looking at social media, I completely agree that this election is basically choosing the lesser of the two evils.

I do not entirely agree with Hillary, but especially after watching the debate last night, I have no idea how any woman in her right mind could support Donald Trump.

I have never really considered myself as much of a feminist, but the things he says about women are just down right degrading and legitimately make me ill. When he was questioned last night about his comments during a video where he talked about grabbing women’s genitals and kissing them without consent, he very lightly played it off and repeatedly referred to his comments as “locker room talk.” He also tried to play off his comments by bringing up the “worse” things in the world, like Isis. Yes, Mr. Trump, Isis is quite horrible and terrifying, but that does not give you the right to demean the severity of the sexual assault of women in the United States and it especially does not give you the right to sexually assault women either.

He has had countless of other incidents of him completely disrespecting and belittling women throughout his whole campaign and his whole life to be frank. For example, when he referred to former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado as “Miss Piggy.” In regards to this he has also said "She was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem for us." Let’s also not forget about how he brings up the Clinton’s marriage every chance he gets and even claiming that Hillary obviously “can’t satisfy.” In what world is it ok to blame a woman for her husband’s infidelity?

This man has the opportunity to be the most powerful man in the world. In. The. World. That completely horrifies and disgusts me as a woman and I do not understand how he has a single female supporter to be blunt.

You might not like Hillary and you might think she has done wrong in her political career, but at least she has one. She has been around politics for over 40 years and regardless of any scandals that may have happened she has done a lot of great things and continues to advocate for the things she believes in instead of verbally attacking everyone and everything in sight.

Before you vote, please think about yourself and your daughters and your best friends and any woman in this country or even globally because no one should have to live in a world with such a disgustingly misogynistic man as the leader of the free world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
