I'm A Democrat Who Wants Trump To Succeed

To all my fellow Democrats who still don't want Trump to succeed, my only question is why would you wish that upon yourself and your loved ones?

Nobody expected the outcome of the 2016 United States Presidential election, no one. At the beginning, most thought Trump running for President was all a joke. Later into the election, people still thought it was a joke, at least the people I talked to. When it came down to Hillary and Trump, I wasn’t thrilled about either but I was for sure that Hilary was going to win. I mean how could TRUMP possibly win?

Election night, my entire floor was a hot mess. As soon as it was announced that Trump had won the election, we all cried. We cried for all of the women in our lives, for the LGBTQ community and for all the immigrants. I immediately thought that it would be the darkest day in United States history. That thought I had, wasn’t fair. As of that moment, Trump hadn’t done anything to make me think that.

In the time since it was announced that Trump would, in fact, be our 45th President, I’ve had a lot of time to think. Was I mad when Trump first got elected? Hell yeah, I was! Did I think he was going to do horrible things for our country? Yes, ma’am. I’ll even go as far as to say that I hoped he would do horrible things for our country just to prove everyone who voted for him wrong. Then I thought, why in the world would I want our President to do horrible things for our country? That’s just crazy.

I began to get annoyed with my friends who continuously talked about wanting Trump to fail. Wanting Trump to fail is like saying you want the pilot of an airplane to crash just because you don’t like him. As Americans, we are all in this together. We are all on this airplane together and if we are going to survive the next four years, then we need to have faith in our President. Who knows? Maybe Trump will surprise us all and become one of the best Presidents our country has ever had. We need to stand together and believe in God’s plan for us and for our country.

So yes, I admit it, I do want Trump to succeed. I want Trump to do amazing things for our country. I want Trump to prove me wrong and impress me with all that he does for the people. To all my fellow Democrats who still don't want Trump to succeed, my only question is why would you wish that upon yourself and your loved ones? Please, think again when you say “Trump is not my President,” because he is and he will be for the next four years. Think again when you think you want Trump to fail, do you really want to live in a broken country? I know I don’t.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
