To My Managers Who Voted Pro-Trump

15

Never have I ever allowed politics to infuriate me more than it has now.

My mangers are and were Pro-Trump. They voted for Trump because they believed he was not a crooked man. They believed Trump was anti-establishment.

Frankly, I feel hurt. Hurt that my manager, who the majority are men, would excuse a rapist, a sexist and so on so forth, as a perfect candidate when this man is far from the perfect candidate. Trump promised hate, he promised borders and walls.

Trump made it seem as if being a woman was a crime and because being a women meant that I can be touched. That I can be talked down to. That I can be denigrated to nothing.

Trump ran a campaign based off racism and sexism. However, he still received votes. People voted for him because they thought he was different. People believed that he could "Make America Great Again." But the real question is: When was America ever great? White America seems to forget that the United States was only "great" for white people. Correction: for white males.

Now, it appears that everyone is outraged. Many people are trying to keep the peace in a place where there is none.

For now, protests will continue and I will protest along with everyone else because Trump is not my President. He was not my first choice. Bernie Sanders was my choice. Hillary Clinton was my second choice.

But to my managers who voted for Trump, I no longer feel as I matter within the company. Because like Trump, you only see me as a body who is not worth equal pay and does not have a right complain when I do.

Since the election, I have been down. I no longer will be because I stand with everyone who is outraged with the outcome.

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.
