Stop Calling Me Names Because You Disagree With Me

Being white doesn't mean KKK.

Stop Calling Me Names Because You Disagree With Me
business insider

I have been right wing since the day I was born. I'm very proud to be conservative and I wouldn't change my views for anything. But, being conservative in today's world...is honestly terrifying. I bought a GOP hat during election season and I would wear it almost everywhere I went; I love it. Unfortunately, I'm extremely terrified to go out in public with it on because I don't want to get attacked by these radical leftist or antifa--people who don't share the same opinion as me at all.

You cannot be a conservative in today's world without being called a nazi, sexist, bigot, white supremacist, etc. It's terrible and scary that feel as if I cannot stand up for what I believe in anymore without being called names or being attacked.

I just don't get what people think they are accomplishing by viciously attacking people because of their political view points. Before I start getting attacked for this article, let me condemn the KKK and the Neo Nazis. They, to me, are just as bad as the radical leftists or the BLM movement. All of these radical groups are racist, terrible, and need to be handled a lot more seriously. Just because there is a group of idiots violently protesting does not mean that every white person is a KKK member and it does not mean that every black person is a part of BLM movement. It just means that our generation has failed miserably.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
