Prompt: Our thoughts on How Emerson would View the 2016 Election
I feel like Emerson would be disappointed in us. We have a leader who wants us all to conform into society and Blame the minorities, who he feels aren't intelligent. Emerson quotes that even babies and Brutes can be geniuses, and Trump views the Minorities of America as Idiotic Brutes who are determined to ruin the country.
Trump also plans on finding a single scapegoat to blame for the United Sate's Hardships, China, Mexico, the Islamic individuals, etc. Emerson also quotes that we should not look outside ourselves to solve life's problems, Ne te quaseveris extra, but Our commander in Chief seems to throw that notion out.
Society is a wave, but the water does not move with it. Our Society has been 'a wave' following and believing whatever the Media says. Emerson wants us to break away from society and believe what we want to, not what we're told to believe.
The soul is no traveler; a wise man stays at home. Emerson points out that a smart individual stays at home, yet if we are wise for staying at home, how could such a terrifying individual become president if the wise man won't vote?
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what others think of me. If we believe that Trump is a dictator, then we must impeach him. What his supporters think of us shouldn't even cross our minds.
Basically posts about this random kid in this random farming town in the middle of coastal California telling the whole world what's going on in his Third Period Class.
