What the Hell?

Revolution, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, is a dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it.

America, I would like to welcome you to your modern day revolution. Now, this election cycle feels like an awakening of mankind. I am surrounded by many well informed and passionate youth voters. Many of which, I believe will become very prevalent politically in the future. Many of share a common affection for a certain Bernard Sanders. (Who I just learned does NOT have a middle name. You're welcome.) It should be noted that some others do believe that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer and that Deez Nuts is a viable candidate. 

Could my excitement be because this is my first time really being involved? Sure. However, I really believe that there is some magic in the air. (Good and Evil.)
The evil all began on June 16, 2015. (The day Republican front-runner Donald Trump announced his run for office.) No, I am not calling Donald Trump evil; I am calling him a racist. His rhetoric has done two main things:

1. Expose hate and
2. Encourage violance.

Believe it or not, Trump is playing a key part in this epic revolution. 

Before I really delve into this I would like to note my theory - I firmly believe that Trump doesn't believe a damn word that he says. He has to be more intelligent than he is letting on. Donald Trump attended the University of Pennsylvania and built an empire. Both of which can be debated and flawed but somewhere along the way Trump had to have picked up something. Numerous times in the past, he has been quoted saying that if he ever ran for office he would run as a Republican because 'they are all idiots.' He has also been close friends with Hillary Clinton for several years and donated funds to her previous campaigns. To me, it makes since that he would run to divide the Republican party and hand the election to the Democrats.

Think about it, it would be a brilliant scheme. Months ago, it appeared that Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee, and what better way to endorse her than to hand her the election? There are a lot of  'what if's in the situation, but I buy it.

Anyway, when Trump gets on stage he stirs something up in people. Something.. menacing. The problem isn't Trump himself. For, he is just one man. What scares me is his following. Even if he does not truly believes the words that come out of his mouth, to think that so many people actually do believe in the hate he speaks breaks my heart.

America, where is your compassion?

Potentially, and hopefully, in canidate Bernie Sanders. This man has spent his entire life fighting for social justice and change. (Something that Hillary Clinton has actually been trying out recently?) He is an authentic candidate and the only true anti-Trump I see. He does not avoid the issues or politizise his way through a conversation. Instead, he is honest with the voters about what he believes in. Bernie's record shows him time and time again supproting equal rights and treatment of all people. It shows him fighting for our planet and crusaiding agasint campaign finance corruption.

(Hell, this man is so against political greed that he flies in coach.)

Bernie is authentic. Bernie is good. I like Bernie.


Bernie has fired up both me and my peers. I have talked with many coming-of-age voters who claim that they are only interested in the voting process because they have the opportunity to vote for a "legend." Bernie lit a fire, and now it is time to let America #bern.

(MISSOURI VOTERS: Please make sure you show up at the polls this Tuesday! Make your voice heard and let's fuel this revolution.)
