This week I have chosen to write my blog on a more serious topic, the United States President Elect; Donald Trump. Yes I realize that my voice doesn't really matter in this election because I am not old enough to vote, but I am old enough to know how the world works. I am old enough to know that America has made an enormous mistake. People like me have realized that this election can set us up for our future or our failure. In response to the new President Elect, people across the nation have reacted by taking to the streets and peacefully protesting. CNN authors Ralph Ellis, Khushbu Shah and Azadeh Ansari, have shown that people are protesting in major cities like Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and even Donald Trump's hometown New York City. In this article the authors use a concerning tone, even though they are not supposed to be biased. In my opinion, this article's purpose was to inform the American public that young people actually care about what could happen in the future. Protesters walk through the streets holding signs and chanting "Not my president." This makes me kind of upset though. It makes me wonder, if so many people are against Donald Trump, then where were they in the polls? The majority of states where red, rather than blue and thousands of people are protesting. Then, you have the people in the Republican Party that say, "when Obama was elected we didn't say anything," but yes they did protest and it was disgusting. If you look at the picture on the right you will understand what I am talking about. In my opinion, this article was very effective because it really woke up my inner activist. It showed me that I am not alone and my thoughts actually do matter.
