For the better part of the last two years, just saying the name “Donald Trump” in a positive light caused one to immediately be shunned as a political outcast by liberal-leaning students at Golda Och Academy. Before the election, it was popular to proclaim that the billionaire had no chance of winning. People were even willing to bet money that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, would be our next president.

Our country has mixed feelings about the results from the November 8th election. Some groups are expressing a sense of fear toward the future. One community that is expressing much of this fear is the LGBTQ community. Between the North Carolina bathroom bill and the Orlando shootings, the community has had an extremely unsettling two years, even with the legalization of marriage rights for gays. Eitan Gerstle ‘19
It was a fateful night, the night of November 8. This was the moment we had been waiting for and anticipating for a year and a half. This was the night we would elect the next president of the United States of America. This was the night we would break the highest, hardest glass ceiling and elect the first woman president. This was the night on which Americans would reject once and for all racism, sexism and xenophobia and send a message to the world that if you run on those values in this country, you will be defeated.
