“We should be cautious about putting too much faith or fear into elected officials. At the end of the day, this is just a president.” As citizens, we have immense power to change the world we live in. “Politicians do not simply do what they think is best, they do what people think they want to hear, they do what they think will gain them support. Ultimately, if we want to see a change, we must force it through ourselves. “If we want a better world, we can’t hope for an Obama and we should not fear a Donald Trump, rather we should build it ourselves.”
