In short, the election has made me lose faith in my country. It's very sad. Before this election, I didn't realize how scared and angry Americans really are. I've also seen social media facilitate misinformation and my generation (millennials) is just eating it up. At the beginning of this election I was hopeful that the entire country could find some common ground but somehow, it morphed into a circus of monstrous proportions. When Trump entered the race I honestly thought it was a joke/publicity stunt. I don't know any Hillary supporters and I don't know any Trump supporters. There's a small part of me that feels like the whole thing is rigged because neither one of them have a good history. I firmly believe that Trump made it so far in the race because the average american is tired of being pushed around. The quest for diversity and equality we have sent the message that discrimination is OK, as long as it's against white Christians. ALL lives matter.
I was originally a Carson supporter, but he dropped out of the race. I agree with most of Ted's stances and most importantly, Ted isn't Trump, Sanders or Clinton.
