Election Night and the days which followed took University of Idaho by storm.
Last week during the election, I spotted an interesting trend going through social media. Online, people were reposting images reading “It doesn’t matter who you voted for this election, we are still friends,” or “Not all Trump supporters are racist, sexist, etc. respect others’ opinions.” The problem with this flawed logic is they seem to claim that politics really don’t matter and are a trivial thing to end friendships over.
Latah County election results are now official, despite opposition from the Republican Party about national election results. The county has shown a lean towards Democratic candidates over the past ten years.
Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden has officially become the President-Elect of the United States of America. I couldn’t be happier for the students that grace our campus today.

Growing up in a very political family, the current president or hot democracy headlines were a topic I remember hearing about more than most things at our dinner table. Both my parents had similar yet different views which were for the most part conservative-leaning. Some nights dysfunction would become chaotic, but honestly, I had no clue what Republicans and Democrats were when I was eight, let alone how many branches of government there were, so the occasional heated disagreements were practically a foreign language to me. Looking forward, my parent’s current dinner table debates are a very different picture.
President Donald Trump declared Nov. 1 a National Day of Remembrance for Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens. It is one of the most disgraceful acts Trump has done to date.
