After the presidential election there was outrage and protests all across the nation because of the news that Donald Trump was our president. We began to live in a time of fear once more. History has shown that we do things out of fear to protect ourselves. As well as social media has had a huge impact on us. Now, what else fuels these protests? Is it our anger or is it our fear of what is to come? As a society we fear consequences and with Donald Trump’s threats of deportation to “make America great again” people began to feel uneasy. We are trying to preserve our freedom and we feel as though he is taking that from us which causes fear. Fear is a very powerful tool for motivation because as a society we fear consequences. Going

If we want information on something or someone we can get it in a matter of seconds. If people didn't know who Donald Trump was to begin with maybe these polls and protests would be a different story. Social Media and TV really swayed people's opinions, if we see a post on facebook or instagram about how good or bad he is then this will sway us. Most people hate Donald Trump because of the ignorant things he says on Twitter about women or other races. This causes outrage and fear because this man is supposed to run our country but on the sidelines he is bad mouthing other races or sexes. A study done by Ipsos Mori showed that 88% of 18-34s, compared with 56% of those aged 55+ have been impacted by social media towards the election. As well as people are going out to vote just because they see other people doing it or celebrities posting online about going out and voting without having any idea about the candidates. They do it just because they fear that they aren't part of the crowd if they
