Hoping For My Future
Thread Topic: Hoping For My Future

Like I'm not trying to argue anything lol just giving hope for the future? There's a few things I'm excited for, the economy mostly and probably more respect from world leaders, which could mean less chance for war. Like America might want a woman president but other countries don't care for women in power.

yes, i remember feeling tense throughout his presidency. ever since he became president, i've seen a lot more people in my community and online become comfortable with being openly racist, xenophobic and/or homo or transphobic. all in the name of "he says it like it is".
he says these crazy ass statements like "grab her by the p---- ", "if ivanka weren't my daughter i might date her", "there should be a complete shutdown on muslims entering our country", "[mexicans] are r*pists, all they bring is dr*gs and crime", "i have fabulous friends who are gay but ultimately i am a traditionalist", there's a lot more but these are the standout ones i remember him saying during interviews and rallies. (i'll be happy to find sources if you like)
he kinda cracks open the door for some of his craziest followers to have these wildly immoral conversations/opinions. i also believe that the senate/house politicians who side with him are more likely to back conservative or oppressive laws being passed such as bans on abortion or access to gender affirming care. so ultimately to me, it's understandable how some may be feeling anxious in a country where we should all feel comfortable to express ourselves freely and make the choices we want for ourselves -
i guess for me i'm a bit more scared of some of his followers. they are extremely passionate, some of them n*zis. like, you never know when you could be talking to someone who doesn't believe you should be able to get married, that your family commits crimes, or that you eat domestic animals. absolutely wild

the last two aren't personal experiences for me but yeah.. it was just a moral thing for me. what issues are the most important to me? what kind of person would be representing ALL of us? those were the questions i was thinking about while voting

my history teacher is very invested in politics. he told us about the American election (i live in Australia). his reason for endorsing trump was because he didn't like war and trump somehow reflected those values. he said he knew that trump was sexist, racist, and a r*pist, but it didn't matter to him, a white man, because trump represented his other values. i think that says a lot about trump's followers

that actually kinda sums up how i feel abt him and why i voted for him, tbh-
also the fact that i just voted for him bc my parents did lmao
