Stop Being So Hateful About The Election

"He won, get over it," isn't helping either.

Never in a million years did I think one election could make America as divided as it is right now. Never did I think there would be such an outpouring of hate because you support a certain candidate. Never did I think we all could be stoop low.

I will admit, I didn't want Trump to win. I believed he had no chance at winning, and was completely unfit to run our country. On the other side of the spectrum, I know many people who thought the same way about Hillary Clinton.

No matter what the outcome of this election was going to be, no one was going to be happy. Since we live in a world that revolves around social media, we all know someone who is unhappy. The hateful, arrogant, and down right rude things I've seen on the internet since Nov. 8 have truly shocked me.

Anyone who voted for Trump is a rapist and now all of America is going to grab women by the p**sy because that's who we elected. F**k all the hillbillies who voted Trump in, you're all uneducated. Idiots everywhere, if you voted Trump go kill yourself.

Really guys? This is what you feel you need to say online?

What is that going to accomplish?? I get you're upset he won, I am too, but it happened, he's president. Stereotyping people on Facebook or Twitter and making them feel like trash isn't going to fix anything. Does it make you feel better? Do you think you're making Hillary proud?

Trump supporters: stop engaging with them! Does posting a hateful comment on their social media rant really make you any better than them? You're doing the same thing as them. Ignore it and keep scrolling, your comment will do nothing to help the situation.

Also, the term millennial doesn't just mean "stupid teenagers" as most people think. A millennial can be up to 34 years old. It's someone born from 1982 through the 2000's. So you can quit blaming everyone under 25 for the worlds problems now, thanks.

No one is happy in this election, we get it. Your Facebook rants about Trump being a racist and how Hillary needs to be in jail aren't going to do anything but make people angry. For once can we act like a civilized nation?

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.
