Election Reflection: Zack Greenstein
(11/10/16 3:29pm)
For as long as I’ve been aware of politics, Obama has been my president. I had a “change” poster on my door before I even really understood what he was changing. His values shaped my values. I learned how to act based upon the moral approach he took to the presidency. Our president was someone I strived to be. On Tuesday, America’s course changed. This was a different kind of change. A horrifying change. Instead of choosing to have a country that is proud of itself while acknowledging its faults, the American electorate fell for Trump and the pessimism and hate that comes along with him.
