How can we control our life if its trajectory doesn’t follow our expectations?

As many of you may know, Donald Trump was just re-elected as president of the United States. His re-election brings about many feelings of fear and uncertainty for the future of Americans. In an article from the New York Times, he stated that he will immediately order mass deportations, use soldiers against citizens, and play politics with disasters. There are numerous videos with proof that he has actively spoken on various threats to bring disaster to America. Here is one thing he said, in his own words: “With your vote, we will seal the border, stop the invasion, and launch the largest deportation effort in American history.” By referring to immigration as “invasion,” he is disregarding the significance of millions of people who have come to the country. People who came with hopes, dreams, and aspirations. But it’s not just that: he is also wasting billions of dollars by deporting people who actively contribute to boosting the economy. Unfortunately, this is just one of the many horrible things that Donald Trump has been advocating for.
