If you’re a US citizen and not a Muslim, you’ll be fine. Social media has a way of blowing things way out of proportion, when the truth is, what Trump does will have almost no impact on your day to day life. Just relax, man.

How disconnected from reality do you have to be to not only write this but actually believe it? First of all I’m not a US citizen, but even if I was, I’m a compassionate human being that is reading stories from reputable sources of what is happening to a group of people simply because of the religion they were born into or choose to practice. There are people fucking trapped in airports being barred from entering the country they lawfully reside in or the country whose troops they helped in time of war. There are families that went through months of vetting to get refugee status who woke up and suddenly seem their future was ripped away from them. It is affecting their day to day life and just because it isn’t my life doesn’t mean I can’t be empathetic. Simply because it isn’t your turn now, doesn’t mean the next executive order by fiat won’t apply to you. This is a very selfish way of looking at the world and what’s happening right now and I sincerely hope for all our sakes that more people don’t think like you. 

I’m a woman, I’m a POC, I’m queer, I’m Latino, and I’m an immigrant. Social media doesn’t need to tell me I need to be afraid. Common sense does. 

As cliche as it is, I think you need to read the famous words Martin Niemoller wrote about the pure cowardice of Germans regarding the Nazis:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Fucking step it the fuck up and start caring even if you’re a US citizen and not a Muslim because before long it might be your “day to day life” that is affected.

Hi, white person here.

Anon, you’re a fucking disgrace.

White silence is violence. It doesn’t fucking matter if you’re not a Muslim, YOU WILL STILL FEEL THE AFFECTS.

OR ARE YOU JUST DEAD INSIDE THAT BASIC COMPASSION ELUDES YOU?!
