This election was one for me that was incredibly difficut to watch. From the moment I heard that Donald Trump was running I knew that our country was in some danger. Now I'm going to start off this off with saying I do not like Trump, so feel free to stop here and read someone else's blog if you think that you will be offended with my blog. AKA my opnion.
I can not stress enough that Trumo has one this election. I have so many friends that are part of the LGBT community and I feared for their safety. I feared for their life, I was worried that some of them may consider suicide if Trump was elected. Sadly I know one who really felt like their life was in danger and I made sure that they knew I was there for them, the whole night if the election. The nect morning I wake up to a text saying that if I hadn't txted her she probably wouldn't still be alive to this moment. That text message is what got me through that next Wednesday. It was incredibly hard for me to watch this election because of who was running. Honestly I wouldn't have liked either one of them, but it's not like I as a minor have a huge impact on who would have became president. I don't think that these next four years will be incredibly helpful to our country, no to our economy. I mean look at Trump, he honestly paid his way out of a court sentence. That not how a president should be acting. But let me tell you, I'm more scared of our Vice President them our president himself. I were to hope that someone will soon realize that there needs to be a change in presidential politics and how this was all handled through social media, because that truly made everything much worse. I personally do not want to rant for hours about politics because I get so heated that sometimes I have to remove myself from certain situations. But what makes me even more heated is how certain schools and school districts are handling the whole situation. I know that some parents call into school about the signs that are posted that we tend to see through social media. The "Muslim students you are safe." And etc. Parents are calling in because the race of their child "isn't being shown so they must not be important", these parents threaten to sue just because "white" isn't recorded on these positive message signs. That to me, makes me so sick. Why do you care that much to be suing a school, or school district. That shows how immature parents are and privileged certain "rich" families think that they have control. When in all reality they don't. At my school, I know students who didn't come to school the next day after the election because they were scared of how they would be treated, or if they would get in trouble. I know that some kinds were scared of being threatened, or being jumped after school because of their race, or sexuality. This isn't right. I can't believe just one person who now can control our country, now has that big of a effect on people everywhere. But what terrifies me the most about Donald Trump, is the way that he treats women. How would our country look if all men treated all women like that. Women would not be able to defend themselves at all or be able to voice and fight back. His comments towards women in the election were so powerful, that watching some of the debates, I had to mute the TV because I was becoming so uncomfortable with what Trump was saying. I can't believe someone would have the audacity to say that on public television. That so disrespectful, no matter to what sex, or if it's to family, or to the public. I can't believe someone like this was voted into our White House. It's terrifying. I'm scared to see what the next 4 years will bring. I can only hope for the best. But I don't think much good will come from this election. I have one person that I consider my family, I consider him my big brother that I was never able to have. And he is Mexican, and I am incredibly worried about him and his family. I don't want them harmed at all, I would cry if anything happened to him. He protects me when I really need it, and he is alway there when I need someone to talk to. He is my family, and I want nothing to happen to my family. But with how everything else has gone down, I can't say that I know he is completely safe.

Well said. This election has been a roller coaster for a long time. I pray for the people of this country and that Trump can somehow rise to the occasion and be a good president that can lead the country well. That's the only thing that I can hope for. But, everything will be okay if we give it enough time.
