SO you are crying because Trump is your new president?

2016 election is the most interesting topic to talk about this year. It surely is a unique election that the people of United States have ever experienced. However, the result is finally announced on Nov 8. It has been one week since then, and people should begin to accept the outcome whether they like it or not. The post “Blog 5” written by Jordan Call addresses the issues on the riots which are sparked by people, especially college students, who refuse to accept the result.

Jordan Call mentions, “Our country, especially 16-25 year olds, are thin skinned, sniveling kids who cry and start shit over the littlest stuff”. There are surprisingly riots, protests in some universities after the election night. For instance, hundreds of students from UT Austin marched for hours in Downtown Austin under the rain against Donald Trump’s victory. They claimed that he is a racist, and his victory will lead to violence and segregation. How do they, who are educated college students, believe that they can solve violence with more violence and protest?  They hurt themselves by walking for hours under the rain, they hurt the traffic because they march on the streets which are for cars, and they waste the policemen’s time trying to get the traffic flow again after the protest. The college students need to learn that this is not the end of the world, and they do not need to cry about this or skip class to go to protests.

Jordan Call writes, “You think life is hard? You don’t know the meaning of the word”. There are countries that do not have the right to vote, or even know their candidates’ background before they go vote. When they get a new president, they accept it and keep living their lives. Meanwhile, in the United States, people, who cannot get the president they want, start to cry and fuss like a teenager.

“But look at you now. Acting like spoiled kids. Throwing fits in the street, getting arrested and picking up criminal records that guarantee you’ll never get a good job”, John Call declares.

There is no wrong in wanting to protest against a bad government. After all, that what make America a land of freedom. However, people need to consider better reasons and peaceful protests. The college students need to focus on their studies than skipping classes to protest. If they are disappointed about this year result, they should study hard, run for office one day and be a better president.
