Please Stop Trying To Protest The Outcome Of The Election
wikimedia.org

Alright, I think that the election hype has died down enough for me to write this article. Donald J. Trump is our president. Let me say that again, Donald J. Trump is the next President of the United States. If that still resonates with you as a negative sentence, please listen to it until it doesn't effect you. See, Donald Trump is not going to be that bad.

Now, this isn't me supporting Donald Trump. I do not like the man whatsoever. I did not vote in this election because I could not support either candidate, so all the Hillary supporters can be just as upset at me right now. Basically, my mindset was that our country was going to be worse off no matter who was elected because Obama is the homie.

Regardless, Donald Trump is the President-Elect. He has been elected President of the United States by the people of America. Not many people are pleased about this, but I am sure that almost the same number of people, if not more are pleased about the results. I mean, a majority of the American people elected him president. Just because they aren't on social media doesn't mean that they don't exist.

To this point of this article: the people who are complaining and protesting about Donald Trump being elected need to stop.

I have already stated that I am not a Trump fan. Not by a long shot. I think Donald Trump is a sexist, a bigot, and egomaniac, and a selfish bastard. I do not want him running our country, but he is. Regardless of my desires, he is running the country, and there is nothing I can do about that.

Your blacked out twitters will not change this fact. Although I respect that fact that you do not want Donald Trump as president and you will inconvenience your own lives to illustrate this point, you are not going to change this. Although I will always support the fact for you to protest Donald Trump, you will not be able to change the outcome the election. Additionally, wearing a safety pin will not change the election. You will get your point across loud and clear which is absolutely respectable, but you will not change the outcome of the election.

Our country is a democracy for a reason. We voted for the president, and we need to deal with the outcome. This doesn't mean we need to like it, and this doesn't mean you can't protest the atrocity of a president Donald Trump will make, but this does mean you cannot protest the outcome of the election. I hate to be that guy, but if you are going to complain about the outcome of the election and ask for it to be changed for the next four years, please leave this country. We elected Donald Trump, whether you like it or not, and you cannot change that fact.

That is all I have to say on the matter. I am not happy that Donald Trump has been elected president, by any means. However, I respect the system and I understand that there is nothing we can do to change this, nor should we. Our country is the greatest in the world for our freedom, and this is an inherent principle of this freedom. Protest Trump's idiocy all you wish, but please shut up about trying to change the election. Thank you.

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.

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.
