As I was sitting in my bed last night watching the 20016 elections, I was thinking “Is this really happening?? Is this Man really winning the United States Presidency? “WOW” It hit me!  I realized that we’re still living in a “White’s man” world. Yes! Plenty of Minorities voted for Trump but there was also plenty of minorities who never voted before that voted for Hillary, those minorities still didn’t make that much of a difference.  The true is!  “The secret voices” the voices that never spoke up, finally did and they made the final difference.  It’s scary to think that those “secret voices” think so highly of someone like him.  These “Secret Voices” trust someone who doesn’t have any respect for other religions, nationalities, backgrounds, women, countries, ethnicity and beliefs.  I’m disgusted by everything that Trump represents; I’m disgusted that people voted for someone who is trying to divide us and use his money to sabotage the integrity and freedom of this country.  Maybe we need to go through someone like him to appreciate what’s to come? Or who we could have voted for?   Or maybe, just maybe he will be just as great as Reagan or Carter, why not? “I really doubt it” I can only hope that American’s don’t regret the choice we made, I say “WE” because I also underestimate him.  I also laughed when he launched his campaigned, I never thought he would make it this far…but he did.  When the elections began I was open to hear everyone, Republicans, Democrats, libertarian’s even Donald Trump eccentricities. 

I assisted Donald trump’s rally in Dallas Texas back in Sept 2015.  I was disgusted!! His speech was “stupid” and full of insults to the Mexicans and immigrants.  He only spoke about himself and how he would make “America better”. I have never met anyone so Egocentric.  There was only a few Hispanics in this Rally and I felt as I was betraying my own, I wanted to hide my face.  I was embarrassed! I wasted my time going to see someone so vain and full of hatred.  I even felt the ugly vibe in this place! I felt a “special kind of way”.  At that time, I was searching for answers and I wanted to hear what he had to say, I wanted to give him a chance.  That chanced was ruined as soon as he opened his mouth with this words “All the immigrants in this country, are here because their own countries don’t want them” “We are the dumping ground of the world” REALLY!!! Who would say that? I was more concerned with the crowd; everyone seemed happy to be there.  This was at the American Airlines Center, it was packed!! So it doesn’t surprise me that he tripled his followers by election time.   

Since I wasted my time with Trump earlier in 2015, I decided to go see Hillary Clinton at a Rally in Dallas TX, at Mountain View College in November of 2015.  It was definitely a smaller Rally but it was a lot better. Hillary Clinton was nicer and very approachable to everyone, no matter what they looked like or their nationality.  I even took a selfie with her.  This woman speech was impeccable and straight to the point. She always said “WE” not “I”.  She didn’t put anyone down or made fun of others.  The diversity of this rally reminded me of the people that represent America. 

I’m sure Hillary Clinton didn’t realize her night was going to end up with Trump’s winning the Presidency.  She probably couldn’t believe that “American’s” could have chosen someone as arrogant and ignorant as Donald Trump.  I couldn’t believe it! But I accept it.  I accept it because that what Democracy It’s all about and because the “secret voices” got to speak up to let us know that they think just like Trump and that “WE” as minorities can’t trust what “They” “Him” choose to decide for US.  So! Let’s stay together and let’s fight for our rights when we need to.  Let’s not stay quiet and don’t let them divide us.  “Dreamers” keep fighting for your rights to remain in this country and to study.  “Immigrants” keep working hard to support your families and one day become legal.  “WOMEN” let’s keep fighting for our rights, let’s keep forecasting the future to have women president, let’s keep fighting for our rights to decide what to do with our bodies and beliefs, let’s keep fighting for better salaries, let’s keep fighting for everyone to hear us.

I don’t know if Trump will be a good or a terrible president! I just hope he wants the best for this country and for all the people that make America great.

I am not a writer! This is just my thoughts crumbled together.  This is my voice.
