As a foreigner I'm pretty worried at the prospect of a Trump presidency but to be perfectly honest when I look at Hillary's professional track record I'm not at all surprised a lot of people would rather vote for a clown from TV. Mexico's not gonna pay for the wall though, lol.

I love how the rhetoric about Trump has to be escalated to "he will start nuclear WW3 with russia / china", because everything short of that has already been checked off the list by the the last two presidents. An unjustified war of occupation based on scanty pretext? Nope. A program of extrajudicial assassination that has killed thousands of civilians in blatant violation of the Geneva Convention? Oops! Trump's hypothetical war crimes get more weight than the current administration's actual ones.

Honestly the fact that thousands of nukes have sat unfired in their tubes and hangars over the past 60 years is the saddest and most blatant form of government waste there is. We need to get those puppies moving, start a ten thousand points of light campaign

Mexico's not gonna pay for the wall though, lol. Still don't get it. Ok, so Clinton is a career politician with zero charm. But, despite the monumental resources that went into it, no one has been able find anything illegal or too much dirt on her. Trump on the other hand was, beyond any reasonable doubt, involved in countless cases of fraud and scamming. Four years ago he admitted on national television that he had lobbied politicians to act against the interest of the American people. He constantly lies and exaggerates the truth on national television. He is financially involved with governments and companies that are hostile to the US. These are all facts that no conspiracy theorists nutcase could ever deny. In any sane world Trump would be the "crook", but yet here we are.  The only rational explanation for this shitshow is that Trump voters realise all of this but don't really care. For them there is one single, extremely important, issue that outweights everything else. Trump could devour a puppy in front of a camera and it wouldn't matter.

I went up and asked him if he would take the hat off, explaining a university should be a safe space. It was impossible to communicate to him why wearing a hat in support of a movement grown on the seeds of racism, bigotry and exclusion of diversity (sexual and cultural) could make some people afraid. People came out of the woodwork around us to support the hat, and after insulting me, they began filming my "crazy" behaviour at asking him to not wear the hat on campus. The video was posted and I made the mistake of reading the comments. I am so deeply saddened... I don't want to draw anymore attention to the dysfunctional pawns that are being used by a system of power to oppress others. I do want to state that I stand by my belief that every space, but especially university spaces, should be made to make everyone feel SAFE. We need to seriously change our culture. We need to equally support and express movements and gestures of inclusive acceptance. I walked outside after the altercation, which ended up involving security and more concern for someone's "private property" then about anti-oppression and overt racism, feeling totally hopeless.

Beside them was a group of courageous and beautiful humans, holding signs of "we support your choice" and kindly warning oncoming students about the graphic images so they could be avoided. (Thank you Aalayna Spence, Nathan Lawley and crew.) It makes me cry that there will always be battles of "right" and "wrong"... There will always be opposing parties... Unfortunately for many people life does not exist without fear of oppression, violence or attack. But there are some warriors, who are not too tired. Some humans who want anyone being attacked (be it blatant or subtle) to know they are equally being a supported. I'm ready to make some noise YYC. I'm ready for some LOUD AF language of LOVE. That is the only thing that might have a chance of helping the world. So be a warrior and express your support for those who are attacked everyday because of who they are.
