Opinion Piece: The Trump Card Terror:

Why Donald Trump makes me fear for my future at 18 years of age.

By jdnotbyrider

There are two types of evil in this world: Fictional Evil and Non-
Fictional Evil. Fictional Evil is in TV Shows, in books, in video
games, plays, and musicals alike, and unlike non fictional evil,
it’s OK to love that type of evil, it’s OK to flick the angel off of
your shoulder and listen to and root for the villain in an
alternate universe. In fact, with fictional evil, one can even
grow to love the villain more then the hero, get invested into
their story, buy merchandise of them. At the end of the day, it’s
perfectly normal to want to see Batman’s butt get kicked by
Harley Quinn, it’s OK to want to see the coyote catch the
roadrunner, and there should not be anything wrong in wanting
a truly vile human being in one of your favorite shows to have
full control over the planet, driving it into anarchy and
suffering, because when it’s a fictional evil in charge,
sometimes all it takes is seven days. The next week comes, and
the villain’s dream world can begin to fall apart, be it a small piece
of it, or a big piece of it. That’s the joy about fiction: You can
take any side you want, without any consequences.

But then, there's the Non Fictional Evil, the real people who hurt real
people, oppress real people, and doesn't have one care in the world about
what happens to real people. The type of people that we hear about in
reality, the type of people that we hear about in the news, the type of
people that bring more fear into us then anything else in the entire world.
Even with a nightmare, it's only a dream. Even with a horror movie, you
know that people were paid and made to look like that. We can recognize
real evil, from a klan in white hoods, to a Russian President that looks down
upon men who like men and women who like women, and thinks that
transgender individuals have a serious mental illness.

But what we don't seem to recognize, is how close we are to having evil as a
president ourselves. You may think, "but hey, Donald Trump once rushed a
severely ill 3 year old to the hospital on one of his privates jets to save his
life in the 1980's! And in the 1990's, he believed in universal health care for
all (and still believes in a single payer system today), and also that there
should be a giant assault weapons ban to prevent mass shootings! He can't
really be that evil!"

Well, time does a lot to us: It can make us better, and it can certainly make
us worse. And here we are, in 2015, and the top person in the polls for
President of The United States, is someone who is as classless as a teacher
during Summer Vacation, taking to Twitter and calling people who don't
agree with him Bimbos, and Losers, and Clowns, and Idiots, and Delusional,
and saying that at the end of the day, making comments to women about
"them looking better down on their knees" is "all in good fun."

So much for being nice in this world, we want a president with balls! Well, he
may have balls, but at the end of the day, he's always going to be known as
a dick. Imagine Abe Lincoln putting pen to paper, and sending a bunch of
letters that called women who disagreed with his policies "tarts", and that
anybody who doesn't see his vision is "psychotic", and "foolish scum", and
that at the end of the day, he "likes to make humor toward slavery,
because it brings joy to him."

We've got presidential candidates who want to make college much more
affordable, want to repair crumbling infrastructure, want to put an end to
corporate run prisons, and increase the workers minimum wage so that
their lives can be made a lot easier, and instead, we're going with the person
who wants to deport millions of people, crash other foreign countries
economies, and put us in another war.

This isn't a TV show anymore, we can't wait a week to let things resolve themselves, we'd need to wait four years. People are salivating over giving us the president that we deserve, well how about giving us a president that we need? How can we make a country great again by making some suffer and by killing others? You talk about America being a joke right now, the way that Trump acts and does things, that's a joke that even Steve Harvey couldn't cook up.

He's concerned about the economy, but then he wants to spend 663 Billion Dollars "trimming the fat." He's concerned about political correctness, when he's not even able to approach things correctly politically. I understand we need something different, and I agree, but I don't want that person to be someone who thinks that our current President was not born in the US, and that he's a Muslim. And even if he was, oh yeah, real terrifying Muslim, making this country so bad! Curse the day he allowed same-sex couples to be happy! A shame he really wants to ruin people's futures by making community college free! I'll be damned if I don't protest the fact that he's given people health care who can't afford it!

66% of Trump's supporters believe that Obama is a Muslim.
61% think Obama was not born in the United States.
63% want to amend the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship.

What this tell us? This is the side of ignorance. That swims in a pool full of Kool-Aid, and towels off in bigotry. And yet, the silent golf clap of evil has turned into rabid applause. I'm 18 years old, and while it won't hurt me as much because of the skin color that I was given and the decisions that I've made, I still fear for my future.

A president should be someone who makes me proud to live where I am, makes me happy that I birthed where I was, and makes me thrilled for the years ahead. Donald Trump makes me ashamed to live where I do, embarrassed to be where I am, and if he's president, he makes me want to leave this country all together.

I don't want someone who will ruin our relationships with other countries. I don't want someone who take away a big part of the American work force. I don't want someone to put an end to the 14th amendment, which would mean that The Department of Homeland Security would have to literally check the parents documentation papers at the hospital before every birth, so that they can make sure that both parents are American.

I don't want someone who is against The Iran Nuclear Deal, is against peace for the next 10 years. I don't want someone who will give us another war. I don't want someone who acts like a rotten egg in spoiled milk on social media. I don't want someone who refuses to use terms that are racist. I don't want someone who said that he would fight any Black Lives Matter Protesters who interrupt his speeches. I don't want someone who says that traditional marriage is more important then same-sex marriage.

I don't want someone who doesn't care: I don't want Donald Trump. This isn't a Robbie Rotten kind of evil, a Plankton type of evil, a Professor Finbarr Calamitous type of evil, where we can laugh at it and enjoy it, because we know that it won't work at the end: This is a very real evil, that grows stronger and keeps marching on. And may god help us, if that evil crosses the finish line.

May god help us all.
