I was as surprised as anyone else about the result of this past election. I did not want Hillary to win, but did not vote for Trump either. This election made it clear that people voted against the favorite and the popular not because they loved or wanted Trump in the office. They voted for real change with an outsider because Washington is one big corrupt bureaucratic machine. Anyhow, the election is over and what’s done is done. We will have a President who has never has never been elected in an office or served in our military. He’s a business man with strong agenda of how to fix Washington and bring real change to the Americans as well as the world.
Now many Americans, especially minorities, live with fear of what will happen to them. Deporting illegal immigrants, building a wall, bans on Muslims entering the country, the supreme court nomination, corruption and many more are real based on which Trump won the most powerful office in the world.
As an American Muslim woman, going against the popular Hillary, I am satisfied but cautiously watch what’s going to come next. However, I refuse to live with fear and want to give the new president elect a chance to do his job.
I am very tired of the media and the Democrats negativity & resistance towards every step of the Trump administration. This negativity causes half of the government officials who were elected by the people to serve people regardless of their political affiliation will not do their job properly. Yes, I was tired of the Republicans blocking President Obama’s every action, but time is running out, and people are anxious to see the change. President Obama promised Change. He became president with the message, but he wasn’t able to deliver because of this negativity and blocking by the Republicans. Now, enough is enough. People of this country will suffer further, and nothing gets done.
Now, I’d like to offer 7 reasons for the Democrats and majority of the media to get over the election and get back to work.
- People will lose if you insist on resisting every issue that President Trump does
- People will take sides and divide even more
- The world is watching how America is ripping its government apart
- Negativity attracts negative emotions, which affect people’s health and well being
- You (the media and the Democrats) work for the people, do your best to do that
- Resistance can backfire and might surprise you with greater losses to your viewership and official seats
- Let the change happen – good or bad – let it happen!
I came here as a refugee and this country accepted me, gave me all the opportunities to get an education, work, live in peace and raise my children. I’m as American as any other American, and I will not go anywhere or hide who I am. I will stand tall for my rights and will act as an informed and law abiding citizen in a civil modern society.
If anything, now is the time to get involved into politics and every community issues that can affect us all as a human being rather than my party, my issues, my race, my color, or my beliefs.
Blessings,
