It's made me fear the common white citizen more. It's made me question every citizens political affiliation. Before the 2016 election I wouldn't look at someone and try to guess if they were democrat or republican or who they voted for and what racial implications that might have. Afterwards, I have a "guilty-until-proven-otherwise" mentality towards white males and I battle with it every day and try to remind myself to be more fair, understanding and open-minded. For people of color, especially, Indians, I also, remain suspicious of their political alliances, which I never thought would be the case.

It has been mentally draining and politically disheartening to witness. There was an ounce of hope provided by Dave Chappelle's SNL monologue right after the election. I had hope that possibly, in someway, Trump would hear us, but alas his four years have divided us more. The battle for the next election felt like it continued and never ended. The world continued to yell over each other. People of color continue to question everything.

There is so much that has happened and so much that is at stake: 1. Black Lives Matter Movement and each life that was lost in this timeframe. 2. The Bernie Sanders campaign 3. Abdul Syed's run for Governor in Michigan 4. RGB's death and the implications 5. Same-Sex Marriage 6. Abortion Rights 7. The wildfires (Australia to California)

A possible vaccine. Walking into a store without a mask. The rest we can discuss after the results of the election
