The President

[Blaquaza]

@Blaquaza That was amazingly well put. You are going to make an great journalist. :3c You bundled up everything I felt about him (and more) and presented it perfectly. Good vocab, too. :D

I don't really know what wing is which because I'm an ignorant doorbell, but basically EVERYONE is 'conservative' in our politics and while that prevents us from having a Trump-like disaster, it also means eevvverryyyone shares the same opinion. It's an utter joke that gay marriage is against the law. Sorry, what? My relationship with my girlfriend is seen only as a "domestic partnership" or some such rubbish. It definitely makes us feel like we're only half as valid as a heterosexual couple to our government. I know there are far worse things going on in the world so you know, I could have been born in a country where I get stoned to death for not obeying my abusive husband, or where I don't have access to fresh water, but it does still suck a bit. Anyway, this is pretty off-track. Well, it's related since Trump hates gay people. SHOCK THERAPY? XD Really? Sorry, but if that ain't gonna turn a duck into an elephant, it won't turn a gay person straight. It's literally genetics. You're born this way. The only people who dispute that? HMM, the people who aren't gay! xD

Aw thanks, you're too kind. When I rant I just regurgitate a dictionary; there was this one teacher at school who had the most eloquent vocabulary I've ever seen, and I'm just trying to even slightly replicate that (and hopefully I'm successful). :3

Right-wing is conservative, and left-wing is liberal. It's strange though, because although the extremes are different in terms of ideologies, some of their methods are scarily similar to one another. You're right though, it's only ignorant, arrogant people who have no knowledge of being gay themselves that think it is something that can be 'cured'. Last I checked, who you are isn't a disease, or anything wrong with you; by that logic we should be trying shock therapy to cure Trump. Seriously though, I'm not gay myself, but I know people who are, and the struggle they have to face because they're not sure how people will react to them is shocking in a modern day society. Why can't we all just embrace everyone, regardless of sexuality, faith, gender, and everything else? It baffles me that those who cling to faith are typically the most prejudiced as well, because they think they have moral justification when they're denying people of their basic rights, like getting married. I really do hate this world sometimes. -_-

I'm kind of clinging onto that hope of "everything will be okay." I see a lot of people posting and saying stuff but I'm not sure where they're getting this information from. Are people making sure their source of information is reliable? Where are people hearing these things and who are they hearing them from?

I don't know if it's just me, but everything seems to be a maze of biases, us versus them, and miniature civil wars erupting everywhere. :\

What I find odd is the lack of support for trump. I'm not saying I support him, or that anyone should, but where are the millions of people who voted for him to be president? It could just be he area I live in, but I rarely see people angrily bashing democrats and anti-Trump people like you could see for miles while the election was on. The worst I've seen is a few "calm down, it's not as bad as it seems" articles, even those aren't populous. The lack of fighting (of non-politicians) hopefully shows the country isn't quite as divided as it seemed in the election.

Honestly, I believe that the majority of citizens that voted for Trump were silent voters. I feel that they didn't want to have to deal with the public backlash that they were more than likely going to receive, so they kept quiet and just voted on Election Day. Because of that, I doubt you'll see many of them speak out now.
