“Day 1 in Trump’s America” Is Seriously Scary
Recommended for you
We are totally aware of the fears the public is expressing under our new President-elect and the concerns over various (totally important) issues that we may soon have to deal with. And if that wasn’t bad enough, you really need to check out “Day 1 In Trump’s America,” because OMG. This is scary stuff, folks.
In a collection of tweets gathered by Genius Senior Editor, Insanul Ahmed, we’re given a totally upsetting look at some of the super things that happened on Day 1 since the election. From verbal attacks to physical ones with weapons, minorities are facing a terrifying sitch right now.
Trigger Warning: These are not easy to read/see and contain incidents of racism and violence (including sexual violence).
Not even 24 hours yet. My friend's sister, who is Muslim, had a knife pulled on her by a Trump supporter while on the bus by UIUC campus.
