An Open Letter to Republicans Who Are Supporting Donald Trump

Hillary wasn't my first choice either, but your candidate is a moron.

An Open Letter to Republicans Who Are Supporting Donald Trump

To my beloved Republicans,

Let me start off by saying that I am a registered Independent. I have voted for Deomcrats and I've voted for Republicans. I do tend to lean more on the liberal end, but I can understand your perspective on many issues. Hell, I even agree with you on certain issues. However, this election isn't about party loyalty. This isn't about liberalism vs. conservatism. This election is about America's future and the image that we want to portray to the rest of the world. Do we want a mild tempered professional, or an unpredictable ticking time bomb?

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that Hillary Clinton is a saint, because she's far from it. I'm not going to sit her and defend her lack of judgement because I can't. But I can tell you that I judge a person's character off of their intentions. With that being said, I don't think Hillary's intentions are to screw America into the ground. I don't think she plans on pushing for legislation that will cripple everyday Americans. When I look at her, I do not see her husband's transgressions, I see a woman who has a track record of fighting for minorities, women, and children.

If you truly associate yourself with the party of Abraham Lincoln, and consider yourself to be a Ronald Reagan Republican, then I deeply discourage you from supporting Donald Trump. This man is dangerous, not only for America, but also for the rest of the world. I'm not going to sit here and list all of the ridiculous, racist , and sexist comments your candidate has made, because this article would be well over 2000 words.

The reality is, the conservative media outlets have put it in your mind that Hillary Clinton is the spawn of Satan when she actually isn't. No, she's not perfect and she doesn't always do things right, but I have yet to hear her propose any plans that would make Americans feel unwelcome in their own country. Children shouldn't feel bad when they hear their president on T.V talking about them. No citizen should.

I understand being tired of the establishment. I understand being tired of corrupt politicians not doing their jobs. I understand that you simply don't like Hillary Clinton. Believe me, she wasn't my first choice either. But none of that matters now. By casting your vote for Donald Trump, you are saying that you think it's 100% acceptable to call Mexicans rapists, drug dealers, and murderers. You are saying that it's acceptable for women to be called fat bigs, slobs, and dogs. You are saying it's acceptable for our constitution to be violated by keeping immigrants out. You are saying that it's acceptable for white supremacist groups to rise. You are saying that it's acceptable to not give a damn about the greater good of America just because you hate Hillary Clinton. That is completely unacceptable.

My fellow Americans, I encourage you to look deep into your hearts and ask yourself if this is the kind of America you want to live in. A country where Donald Trump doesn't give a sh*t about women, children, or minorities? That isn't my America and it shouldn't be yours either. I have to admit, I am sick and tired of hearing this racist on T.V every week saying something even more ridiculous than the week before. I deserve better, you deserve better, and America sure as hell deserves better.

At this point, there's one month until the election and I am done explaining to a lot of you why your candidate is a moron. Casting your vote for Donald Trump is equivalent to purchasing a one-way ticket to eternal damnation. Just because you dislike Hillary doesn't mean you have a right to screw over the rest of America by giving us the joke that is Donald Trump.

So please, I beg of you, be smart about your vote. I know everything he's saying sounds good, but he doesn't have the experience or the intelligence to be the President of the United States. Mexico is not paying for a wall. Muslims cannot be banned from our country. He's not going to negotiate down our debt. He does not know more about ISIS than the generals. Climate change is not a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese (this one makes me laugh every time). All black people are not living on one street in Chicago where they're going through hell. The list can go on and on.

You and I both know that when you truly compare the two candidates, the choice is obvious. On November 8th, please make the right choice.


Sincerely,

A Pissed Off and Concerned American

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
