Why We Can't Be Friends If You Support Donald Trump

You are voting for Trump and we just cannot be friends any longer.

Why We Can't Be Friends If You Support Donald Trump
Tulsa World

I am not one to ever let religious views or political ideology get in the way of any of my friendships or relationships. I believe a friendship is more important than our differences in how we view certain issues in the world. A person is way more than their political ideology or what higher power they happen to believe in. At this point in life, we are mature enough to not let little things get in the way of the more important, bigger picture.

With that being said, we can no longer be friends if you support Donald Trump or vote for him. Yes, this is personal. You supporting Trump in any way just shows a lot about your character and what kind of person you really are. Most importantly, it shows that you probably have a problem with some part of me. I am a Mexican. I am a woman. I am gay. That's 3 strikes in the book of Trump. It is no secret that Trump is a racist, sexist, xenophobe, and overall just a bigot.

Trump believes that the majority of Mexicans are rapists, killers, and are stealing the jobs of Americans. Not one of his claims are true. The majority of people committing sexual assaults in America are, you guessed it, white people. You are far more likely to be sexually assaulted by a white person than any Mexican. According to the University of Massachusetts,"Foreign-born individuals exhibit remarkably low levels of involvement in crime across their life course." It's clearly not Mexicans committing the majority of violent related crimes in America. Also, Mexicans are not stealing jobs from Americans. The sad truth is, Americans are very lazy. Mexican immigrants work the jobs that Americans simply don't want to work. My people do all of America's dirtiest jobs. My people are hardworking, manual laborers. They have earned these jobs and they deserve these jobs. Think about it. Illegal immigrants come from Mexico not speaking a lick of English and can still get a job and do their best to make a living for their families. There is no other excuse, America. You're just lazy.

"There’s no such thing as racism anymore. We’ve had a black president so it’s not a question anymore. Are they saying black lives should matter more than white lives or Asian lives? If black lives matter, then go back to Africa? We’ll see how much they matter there.” If black lives matter, then go back to Africa? We’ll see how much they matter there.”

That is the response from Donald Trump when he was asked about the "Black Lives Matter" protests and the issue of racially-motivated violence in South Carolina after the Dylan Roof incident. He believes that a white man shooting up a predominantly black church and killing black church members had nothing to do with racism. Looking into this boy's life, you know that this act had everything to do with racism. Trump did not oppose South Carolina keeping their confederate flags on their state building after this incident. He also doesn't believe that there is a presence of police brutality against African Americans. Until recently, he would not condemn his white supremacist campaigners. He claimed that he had no clue who David Duke (former KKK leader) was nor what the KKK was and that was why he could not condemn a group he apparently knows nothing about. Him not knowing anything about the KKK is incredibly ironic considering white supremacist groups and neo-Nazi groups have been reported at many of his rallies throughout his campaign trail.

The Trumpster is also incredibly and disgustingly sexist. He has a fetish for his own daughter. He has consistently told America that his relationship with Ivanka might be different if he were not her father. That's only his first offense here. He's also quoted a tweet that stated, "If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?" Hillary is now supposed to be deemed as an unfit president simply because her husband couldn't control himself? That has nothing to do with her presidential capabilities. While referring to her race against Obama in the 2008 presidential election he stated that, "she got schlonged, she lost." Come on, we all know what the word "schlong" refers to and it's not the word "defeat." He has also claimed that women being raped in the military is of course inevitable when putting men and women together. Really? Is rape really inevitable when men and women are put together? There are tons more sexist remarks that he makes on a daily basis but no one has the time to list every single ignorant thing he has said. He belittles and degrades women just because of the fact that we are women. He is a prime example of the misogynistic patriarchy.

Trump firmly believes that Christianity is the law of the land and he loves to discriminate against Muslims. Muslims have just as much of a right to be in America as Trump does. Trump calling for a ban on Muslims entering America is outrageous. Trump calling for all Muslims living in the U.S. to be registered in a database is even more outrageous. He wants Muslim citizens to carry around identification cards that note their faith. I'm not saying that there is any correlation between Trump and Hitler but these ideas do sound a lot like the ideas of Hitler, don't they?

All in all, I hope you can understand why we can no longer be friends if you are a Trump supporter. If this does not provide enough reasons to be anti-Trump then a basic Google search on him should do the trick. There is nothing good about Trump and he will be extremely detrimental to America and its citizens if elected as president. He is leading in the polls and we have to stop this. My fellow millennials, we have to go out and vote. Voting is so important. Please remember, anyone but Trump.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
