There is a very big storm brewing in America and it comes in the form of Donald Trump. The
radicalized billionaire has been on tour of hate since the inception of his campaign, pushing the
limits on rhetoric against all Non-Aryan races constantly. The dangers of this man deserve the
utmost attention and the utmost disgust. The fact Trump leads significantly in Republican
national polls sickens me. The nightmare of him becoming president haunts me in the day. My
soul roams back in the annals of history to a time of chains and bondage. Yet the thing that hurts
the most is the fact that people are buying in. In a recent poll released by USA Today, 68% of
his supporters say they would vote for him even if he left the Republican Party. Considering the
fact that he leads in many states, he could very well leave and still have a reasonable shot at the
White House.
We have written him off too long, his numbers continue to grow the more his hate speech is
spoken. This is no coincidence, and he is slowly picking away on how much we will him allow
him to say. Like a child with no discipline, it is time for the land of the free to stand up and say
“NO MORE.” No more to your blatant racism. No more to your toxic, retroactive, and feeble-
minded way of thinking. No longer should the airwaves open their stations as platforms for his
message. All the while, people are ignoring the fact that he is spoon feeding us the tranquilizing
drug of gradualism. Are ratings really worth more than morals? Should our sense of decency be
thrown aside because our tongues remain silent in the face of fear?
To his supporters, I will pray for you. I pray that God gives you the clarity and understanding in
the error of your ways. America is home to many different races and people of many different
faiths. This is what makes our country so great – the fact that you can be who you want to be
without the fear of persecution. I hope the dark past of our country’s history remains opaque
without the possibility of ever finding light on our bold trail of equality. Racism is a primitive
way of thinking that often leads to disastrous results. Following or supporting Trump’s words or
actions devalues the very Constitution that makes us American. You must ask yourselves: who is
the bigger fool; the fool or the fools that follow the fool?
Now, to our Muslim Americans and Refugees: on behalf of the American people, I offer my
sincerest apologies. I apologize that there is chance that Trump can become president. I
apologize for the support that this distasteful recommendation has garnered. I apologize that the
air of exceptionalism surrounding this cohort has misplaced their sense of duty and compassion.
I am sorry that too often people see humans yet forget to see humanity. You see, like you, we
understand how the opinions and radical actions of the few can skew the view and cast
aspersions on the many. The majority of Americans are not hateful, and do not follow in the
footsteps of Donald Trump. Same as a majority of you are not terrorists who do not support the
actions of extremism. I can only ask that you take these words as comfort during these trying
times.
