Donald Trump has proven himself again and again to be one of the most divisive presidential candidates in United States history.

Not only is he blatantly prejudiced, his callous claims are often completely ungrounded, if not outright false. Yet, he is one election day away from being president of the United States of America, meaning that a large portion of citizens not only tolerate his radically discriminatory views, but actively support them.

His followers have cited his “brutal honesty” and “business background” as some of their motivations for voting for the orange demon.

Others, (those not in favor of nuclear warfare/people who don’t have a signed copy of Mein Kampf) view this same “bluntness” as unrelenting racism, sexism, xenophobia, etc. and his “business background” as a complete lack of understanding of politics and foreign relations.

The political climate has never been more polarized.

“When somebody says they support Donald Trump, people immediately look at them differently,” junior Sierra Margolis noted. “Voting for Trump can be interpreted as synonymous for voting in favor of reactionary fear,” junior Lyric Latshaw fully agrees.

“When someone claims proudly that they’re for Donald Trump, their name soon merges in my mind with the terms racist, sexist, and ignorant, and I believe that this is the case with most people,” she stated. “In no other election have I noticed such potent forces of good versus evil, especially in our very liberal society, and at this point it is impressive that just one large and childish man’s name can bring about such negative feelings.”

This tension among perspective has bred a sense of cautiousness in discussion surrounding political views. Liberals are terrified of discovering one of their more conservative leaning friends is voting for the reality star turned republican candidate. Trump supporters, at least in liberal cities, are surrounded by people who despise their ideals, and often have to remain silent in political discussion for fear of judgment.

Our political divisiveness, and inability to composedly discuss Trump, might be a microcosm for how foreign leaders would receive him if, G-d forbid, he were to become president.

Mexican president Enrique Pena has gone on record comparing Trump’s rise to power to Mussolini and Hitler. Former Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, was quoted saying, “He has a backwards world view. … In sum, not just for Brazil but for the whole world – the election of Trump would be a disaster.”

Other countries including Pakistan, Albania, Australia and Ecuador have also spoken out against a potential Trump presidency.

In fact, in late 2015, British Parliament actually debated banning Trump from entering the UK. Clearly, Trump’s inflammatory nature could destroy America’s relationship with necessary allies.

As President Obama put it in his speech at 2016 Democratic Convention, “Don’t boo, vote.”
