He won because the left finally ran out of steam.

Why Donald Trump Is the President-Elect of the United States

Last night, the United States of America watched as Donald J. Trump became the President Elect of the country. For months, the mainstream media has laughed about how Trump had absolutely no chance to win this election. They smirked at the thought of everyday Americans rejecting their obvious bias. They told us countless times that Hillary was the most fantastic person in the universe. America didn't buy it.

But how did this happen? How did Trump pull it off? He was projected to lose in what was basically forecast as a landslide. Yet here he is.

There are a few reasons, but here's the big one:

The left.

That's right. The political left is what fueled Trump to victory.

The left has claimed to be a bastion of tolerance and love for decades, but it was this election cycle that revealed their true colors. All throughout this election cycle, the left has been adamant in their cries of "Racist! Sexist! Bigot! Homophobe!..." the list goes on and on and on. What this election has shown, is that the left is possibly the least tolerant group in America.

It's only the day after the election, and I personally have been attacked for simply the action of voting against Hillary Clinton, twice so far. Now, I don't really care that people don't like me, that's the least of my worries.

What does worry me though, is the sheer amount of vitriol and pure hatred coming from the left right now.

Throughout the election, the left has maintained the standpoint that Donald Trump and the people who vote for him are the most hateful bunch you could come across. They repeated over and over again, that it was Trump's people to be afraid of. That if Trump won, his people would basically start lynching people.

That, like every other rhetoric from the left, turned out to be blatantly false.

In fact, it is the left who have been lashing out. Today, it is the left who are attacking people, quite literally too. These riots formed on liberal campuses across the nation after the election results were revealed. That's right. These "tolerant" leftists RIOTED after finding out that their God-Queen had been cut down. These are not protests. These are riots. This is hate-fueled destruction.

And it's reactions like this that has caused the cultural pendulum to swing back to the right.

Those of us on the right are sick of being called racists, sexists, bigots, xenophobes, and every other disgusting label the left has thrown at us. We are tired of being demonized for thinking of something other than feelings. We are done listening to media and Hollywood tell us how to think and who to vote for. We are bored of sitting silently by while the country we love has it's core values destroyed in the name of "progress." We have had enough with leftists trying to shame us into silence behind a facade of "tolerance."

We took the fight back into our own hands, and showed the left that we DO matter. We showed that conservative values and principles mean something to people.

Donald Trump won this election because the hypocrisy of the left finally caught up with them.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
