Trump's Persuasive Speech: Who Are You?

Decent Essays
To my friends that are Trump supporters, I am hopfully correct by saying you are not all the same, however I just want to give you an idea of why people, myself being one, were and still are so terrified about the Trump Presidency.

Every morning I see the same gentleman at the same gas station and every morning we exchange our same "Good Morning, how are you?" and a simple smile. I saw him this morning getting his coffee with all his Trump gear on, I said my normal "Good morning!" and even though I don't support Trump I wanted to congratulate my morning routine acquaintance on the victory. Now any other time his response would be to say "Good morning" as well and ask how I was, maybe even a little extra small talk....Not today, today was different. You see today he felt empowered, today it was now okay to treat people different.

Today he told me how I should burn in hell. Today he told me how I am an abomination for how I live me life, and that I should kill myself. Today.....today it was okay for him to

    I remember when Donald Trump first announced his political run for office. He built his campaign on the slogan: We’re going to Make America Great Again, “reinforced” by his bold claim of “building a wall”. When Trump got down into the weeds with Megyn Kelly during the first Fox News Republican debate, I sensed Donald Trump was a proud and arrogant man. I went on my own campaign against him; making phone calls, writing emails, calling news agencies and talk shows, posting madly to Facebook — whatever I could do to try to stop a really bad person from wrecking the Republican Party and damaging the nation. NeverTrump was my obsession, but it was, at that time, merely political for me.…

    He told me that 1,177 of my men died yesterday and that the USS Arizona got hit four different times by Japanese bombers. My heart was broken, but that could have been me. If I had not forgot my hat I would have been on that ship and would be one of those men at the bottom in the ship right now. I am grateful that I am still alive even if it is with one and a half arms…

    Some of the suggestions for coping in the articles seem to come from a place of privilege and can be better practiced by those who will not be directly affected by the outcome. One mentioned putting things in perspective but then went on to say, “There have been contentious elections before, and we got through them and we will this time, too.” This seems to trivialize the experiences of those who weren’t able to make it or who's lives were deeply and negatively affected by whoever was elected in the past. It also doesn’t take into account how the number of hate crimes committed have increased in the light of Trumps campaign. There are reasons to be genuinely afraid and we shouldn’t pass it off as irrational and something you need to ignore and not talk about because “everything will be okay in the end.”…
