Donald Trump is going to be president again. In our endorsement a couple weeks ago, we endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, but now we must all come to terms with the looming Trump administration.
What is the ultimate purpose of a university? Is it to develop individuals who are masters of a specific craft, to allow students to cultivate a broader understanding of the world by engaging in many disciplines or perhaps to achieve a balance of both?
I, like many, was outraged and disappointed by the results of this election. But I don’t find it politically expedient to blame voters for what we perceive to be bad choices. Rather, we must examine the failures of the campaign and learn the right lessons. Anyone saying Kamala Harris ran a perfect campaign is wrong—a perfect campaign would have won. There are a few factors which were not key to this election, and a few which were. Let’s break them down.
Exhaustion and boredom have been ornamenting my dialogues recently. I get asked how my day has been, and without even thinking, I respond with “Tiring.” I come home to my roommates and all of our conversations about school conclude with “I need a break so bad.” At this point of the semester, I don’t recall a single day where I did not overhear the statement “I can’t wait until the semester is over.”

Following Donald J. Trump’s victory in the 2024 United States presidential election, my Instagram timeline was nothing but celebrations or protests of his historic triumph. As I clicked through the stories and doomscrolled through my explore page, the content in front of me ranged from reposts praising Trump to statements voicing concerns with his presidency.
Have we been here before? In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, even the shock, fear, anger, and fatigue has taken on a horror-like, deja vu quality. It’s the same queasiness we felt after the 2016 presidential election, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 and reversed affirmative action in 2023, and every time we open our social media to see images of the latest harrowing example of colonial violence.

This year, my younger sibling Ellis was finally able to start receiving gender-affirming care to support their journey as a transgender individual. Ellis has always been their own fiercest advocate, using their voice to fight for their right to existence in a society that has extended unspeakable amounts of hate to children who just want the basic right to live authentically as themselves. Without a government to fight for them, I have watched Ellis use their voice at doctors offices, at rallies, around the family dinner table. It has been as inspiring as it has been heartbreaking.

November 8, 2016. Only two weeks after I flew to the United States. Stunned by moving to a new country, my mother, younger sister and I followed my father to our voting location. I watched my father bubble in “Donald J. Trump and Michael Pence.” But that wasn’t my focus. I was jumping around with my sister, fighting for that “I Voted” sticker at the exit and extremely happy to have experienced what an American election looked like. I had never seen something like this before.
We meet when we are small. I have a side part. You’re growing into your smile.
