To my parents who voted for Trump

Subject: To my parents who voted for Trump
Date: 10 Nov 2016

I write this letter as I know I would never be able to convey my words to you without sobbing.

When I was a child you taught me to respect and value myself and that I should expect the same from others. You taught me that I was just as able and as valuable as any boy. You taught me to stand up to bullies. You taught me to value and love others. You taught me to respect others without giving consideration to any difference they may have from me.

Today, two days after the election, I feel as if you have betrayed those values that you so deeply instilled in me. Today, I believe I am mourning some of the respect I lost for you on November 8, 2016, more so, I believe, than I am mourning the victory of Trump.

-your all loving daughter
