Exactly 8 months ago, I filmed a video in which I was sobbing my eyes out and praying that the Americans would be smart and compassionate enough to not elect Donald Trump as the new president of the United States.

Right before publishing the video though, I decided against the upload. I worried about looking overly dramatic and about the hate I might have gotten from Trump supporters.

Now, 8 months later, I regret this decision more than anything.
I wish I would have had the guts back then to put it up and maybe it would have had an impact on at least some of the people, who decided to vote for hate and against humanity.

All I can do now, is to express my sadness over what has happened yesterday - and to learn from it.
I've learnt that it is important to stand up for what you believe in - no matter how risky it is and no matter what others might think about you.

On November 9th 2016, a person, who is racist, sexist, homophobic and uneducated was elected to be the new president of the United States.

About 80 years ago, a person with similar character traits was also put in a highly powerful position - and this eventually led to World War II.

Hitler managed to convince the uneducated German middle class that Jews, homosexuals and other minorities were the reason for everyone's problems. Eventually more than 60 million people were killed because of that.

Yesterday night, I already saw pictures on Twitter of Ku Klux Klan members walking around on the streets of North Carolina.



I try my best to stay calm and pray that yesterday's election won't be the reason for another world war. There is so much hate in the world right now that it literally breaks my heart. There are wars everywhere, alliances start to break apart and even citizens of the same country become enemies.

My prayers go out to all immigrants, latinos, muslims, homosexuals and people in general of the United States - but also to people around the world, who might be affected by this decision in the long run. I'm worried about my Persian family, who has lived in the states since 1970. I'm worried about my Persian family, who still lives Iran. I'm scared that they might be attacked by the States.
I'm just worried. - Worried about the human race and the future of our whole planet.

My last sentence goes out to everyone, who has voted for Trump yesterday: All of your ancestors were immigrants at some point. The REAL citizens of your country were murdered by YOUR ANCESTORS, then pushed to the outskirts and left to live in poverty.

YOUR ANCESTORS WERE THE TRUE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS - AND NOW YOU WANT TO BUILD WALLS TO KEEP OTHER PEOPLE OUT OF A COUNTRY THAT WASN'T EVEN REALLY YOURS TO BEGIN WITH.
