I defend Trump on his policies but whenever I mention him, people get a little angry.
In my first period Marine Biology class my teacher mentioned Trump and I cheered but the joy in me did not last too long. Somebody gave me a “what is wrong with him” stare.
In my AP Lang class I argue about Clinton being worse than Trump with the people I sit with and things do not end so well after an argument. I wrote an article about Clinton being the worst possible candidate in my journalism class and things did not turn out so well there.
I feel that people will not look at me the same way they did before I posted the article about Hillary Clinton. Ever since then, I have not mentioned Trump unless I was talking to my friends who are Trump supporters. They experience the same things I do which is people hating you for supporting Trump.
Since Trump won, most students of James Logan High School seem depressed and shocked that something like this has happened. I’ve seen people cry even and I still like to keep quiet with my friends in the hallways and not mention Trump, except in my AP Lang and Journalism class which is pretty obvious with many of the students in those classes, especially the Teacher.
The best thing for everyone at this point is to accept that this happened and move on. Protesting will not do anything but cause damage and getting mad at someone who is a Trump supporter will not do anything but cause harm to that person.
So you say that the best thing for people to do is to accept he lost and move on. Well to start we can do whatever we please because, like many like to abuse, we have the first amendment and you have that right as well to say that we should move on and i respect that. Now for the protesting, it does do something and although it may not be such a great impact right now if we continue to protest and let the people who dislike Trump express themselves eventually their voices will be heard. I understand what you’re saying that it causes harm when people protest to those out there who actually protest with no harm and do it in a professional and organized manner then there is no harm done and most likely something productive came from it if the right people were there. Now for the second point your say that “getting mad at a Trump supporter will not do anything but cause harm to that person” this is true… but to an extent. I was at the rally and wish to remain anonymous but there was a person there at the walk out who held up a sign which read “Trump won get over it”. Are you serious? People came to this rally in hopes to be surrounded by people who dislike Trump and want to have at least a moment with people in which they can feel safe and express themselves and what they’re feeling and to pull this stunt is just disrespectful and just a plain dumb thing to do, especially at a TRUMP WALKOUT. People went after him and that’s his own doing. People only get chased after once they start doing ridiculous acts and saying crude statements like previously mentioned. Now that’s all I had to say. Thanks
