“I was absolutely heartbroken by the election results, not just because of who was in office, but to see people who I felt were close to me vote for someone and align themselves with politics that was actively harming my and their communities.

“There are many things I worry about about the Trump administration: access to life-saving health care; immigration policies that will separate families and strip existing rights of immigrants, especially those of first-generation Americans; and the protection of LGBTQ+ individuals, especially those in this country right now.” Transgender individuals are one of the targets.”

Diana La Torre, 21, senior at University of Miami

“I feel distressed. The results showed that the majority of American citizens do not care about progress and the protection of basic human rights for all. Instead, they choose to return to times when minority groups were subjected to prejudice and hatred. I am afraid for my own future as well as the future of my loved ones.

“I’m most concerned about potential new policies that would restrict women’s right to vote, lives that could be lost due to lack of gun regulations, and mass deportation laws that would impact the Latino community, my community. There are so many things.” “This administration worries me, and I can’t lie, it makes me feel hopeless.”

“Even though we may seem divided, even if someone has a different opinion, you can still come together. “We can still try to unite and not focus on hate.”

“It is incredible that someone would actively fight against our basic human rights, and it is even more frustrating that he is in office.”

“I don’t like (Trump’s) morality. I don’t really like his personality, but I think he’s the better of two bad candidates. “But I really like his policies on the economy, and I also like his policies on certain rights that he gives to the states rather than outright banning abortion.”
