The transition of peace so highly acclaimed in our nation has been betrayed. This betrayal has occurred not by the leaders to whom competed in the most gruesome campaign of all time, but rather by the very people who make up the soul of our nation. In the third presidential debate Donald Trump was asked, "Will you respect the traditional peaceful transfer of power if you loose the election?". Trump responded that he would not concede and would investigate if the election was rigged. Liberals everywhere we're astonished and began to proclaim that Trump was "not patriotic" a "disgrace to the country" and so on. Little did the nation know that the media's influence had reached a peak in our nation. As a collective group of citizens we had begun to believe whatever the media was feeding to us. The present day media consists of a majority of liberals, naturally-talk shows, radio, news stations, the debates and social media gave off the vibe that Hillary was plunging towards her "long awaited" spot in the White House. The people were fooled into believing that Hillary was taking the campaign. Did this stop the American people from going out and voting? No. Did this stop the American people from proclaiming their rights? No. The American people still have what it takes. Our patriotism may be fleeting, but as a millennial on November 8th 2016 I was given hope that we still have the same spark that ignited the birth of our nation. 

With these encouraging words said I must point out the irony within the election results. Trump is president. He will not protest against the results, it will be the people protesting the 2016 election. A peaceful transition of power so longed for by the nation no less than a week ago has been put on the back burner. It is now the people standing in their own way of what they once desired. Trump was not allowed to protest if Hillary won but liberals everywhere must have the right to tear down the beliefs of Republicans, Trump supporters and conservatives. 

I was unable to find an article to base this blog off of. I wanted an article accurately describing both party's equally. Over the last week I have been given the opportunity to observe the millennial generation respond to this election. Not millennials from my school, town, church or even state but rather millennials from across the nation.  Over this summer I spent 21/2 weeks in Hollywood at an acting conservatory. There I met 20 other actors my age with whom I've been in a group chat with since July. After the election my phone blew up with responses concerning our new president from the view point of all religions, races, states  and sexes. I believe the messages in the group chat were more valuable to write on than any article because it is realistic, truthful and a beautiful example of my generation. (Below is posted the images of the convo)

Obviously there has been no peaceful transfer of power. It can be observed that my generation expects their beliefs to be validated with whomever they are proclaimed to. When things don't go their way they cannot have a respect for the views of their opposing partner. The "love" so uplifted is expected to be shown to everyone except Trump or his supporters. My generation relies too heavily on the government and political figures to make our nation what they want it to be. Therefore when their party doesn't win the election the world is over and a peaceful transition of peace is impossible.

Although my generation spends every waking hour preparing for the SAT and trying to get into Ivy league schools I fear they may have neglected to learn the history of our founding fathers. They call Donald Trump racist? Thomas Jefferson owned hundreds of slaves and believed whole-heartedly in slavery in the south. Christians everywhere proclaim Mr. Trump's affairs with women are utterly disgraceful, and frankly I agree, however, did you know that Alexander Hamilton had an affair on his wife and paid the adulteresses husband in order to keep him from blackmailing Hamilton? Trump has no excuses for his behavior but we must not stoop to the level of allowing his poor morals to dictate our poor citizenship and behavior towards our neighbors.

The world is longing for love. From "love wins" to "love makes the world go round". The love they desire can only be found in Christ's love. However without Christ this love can't be accomplished. So therefore, the love translated is a one-sided selfish love resulting in even more world conflict. It's a love of oppression, a love that has been sugar coated and made into what each individual wants for themselves, in order to feel more confident in the wrong decisions that prick their conscious.

The idea of the "safety pins" (as talked about in the last message) blows my mind. My generation expects a dissolvement of the conscious. A desensitivity to difference. People have become so insecure in their lifestyle choices they need the support of everyone else in the nation wearing a "safety pin" in order to feel comfortable in their own skin and with their lifestyle. No wonder they are so terrified our new President.

The nation continues to be in outrage and riot like never seen before. So what is our duty as citizens? Our duty is to respect the transfer of power. The people are outraged about our new president, as if the nations fate relied on the shoulders of Donald Trump, what they fail to recognize is the aspect of of of Constitution. Our fate does not rely on Donald Trump our fate lies in the hands of you and me, this is what the founding fathers prepared for hundreds of years go. The riots are annoying, the endless complaints from liberals make me wanna shank someone but everyday i get to wake up in a country free to do so. Talk about Christian persecution, now more than ever it is more relevant. I was scared to state my opinion in that group chat for fear of being murdered by text messages. To be honest, i don't feel safe. I can't voice my opinions. Am i going to wear a "safety pin"? No. Am i going to voice my opinions? Well, i'm going to try but it's going to be VERY VERY hard, now more than ever. WOW college is gonna be scary.
