You're fired (from this election.)

An Open Letter To Donald Trump Before The Election
Oliver Willis

Dear Mr. Trump,

I can honestly commend you for making it this far in the election. You fought all odds and beat everyone’s expectations by being here at this point. Despite this, I can say that I despise you.

You think that by intimidating and scaring people, you’ll get your way. You think that by perpetuating distasteful stereotypes people will like you. Well, you are wrong.

Your racist and derogatory rhetoric turn people away from your campaign. Whatever great ideas you may think that you have are completely obliterated when you open your mouth and let that steady flow of bigoted garbage flow.

You are not a trustworthy man, be it with the multiple times you’ve gone bankrupt or the numerous times you’ve engaged in affairs outside of your current relationships. If you can’t be trusted in your business or personal life, how can a nation of hundreds of millions of people trust you with top-secret information, nuclear codes, and time-sensitive data?

You are also offensive to almost everyone you meet. You can’t meet a single person without making a snarky comment about their character or behavior. Is it possible for the US to have strong diplomatic relations with any other country if you treat them this same way?

You’ve alienated large groups of people, be it women, Hispanics, African-Americans or other groups with your thoughtless actions and belief that you can marginalize whole groups of people and still win the election.

Your privilege disgusts us all. You think that starting with only one million dollars makes your life hard. What about families that barely survive on $20,000-$30,000 a year? You don’t understand the plight of a common man. Those of us who are willing enough to become entrepreneurs have to take loans from the banks of tens of thousands of dollars, struggling and wondering how we will ever pay them back. We don’t have the luxury of being given millions of dollars and then complaining about it.

You also lie more than any other candidate. The fact-checkers after every debate show that half your statements are wrong. When you claim to your opponent that you never said certain things, evidence will pull up, showing that you did indeed do and say those things.

Honestly, Mr. Trump, I can’t wait for election day. I can’t wait for you to finally get what you deserve – a loss. Maybe then you’ll learn that racism, sexism, homophobia, and overall nastiness won’t get you everything in life.

Sincerely,

Every individual in the United States

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.
