People are splitting hairs over whether protesting Donald Trump is protesting the office of the presidency or protesting his views.
Anyone who has read John Green’s “The Fault in Our Stars” is familiar with the quote, “You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you.” While I’d argue that this quote is accurate in the context of this novel, it isn’t as accurate in the grand scheme of things. In this world, you don’t get a say if you get hurt, and you often don’t have a say in who (or what) hurts you either.
On Friday, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of our nation, and the winds of change have begun to blow across the country — we felt them quite literally Sunday.

But expectations are higher for some teams this season, and with several sports about to start up, staff writers Patrick Pinak, Ian Cohen, Matt Brannon and Ethan Bauer debate which UF team will have the most success this Spring season.
In the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, one in which immigration reform was a key platform pitch, Gainesville citizenship classes are expected to see a spike in enrollment.
What does it mean to be “smart?” When someone recalls obscure facts or demonstrates a remarkable feat of calculation, we say that person is smart. If someone demonstrates an unusual perspective, drawing from many sources to reach a conclusion, we may wonder how they are able to perform such mental gymnastics.
On Tuesday, UF alumna Kim Barton was sworn in as Alachua County’s Supervisor of Elections, becoming the first African-American to hold the position.
On Election Night, Kristin Birdsey forced herself to go to bed early so she could still have hope. The next day at work, many of her female co-workers could not stop crying.

A short bench makes for some long games — just ask the Florida Gators women’s basketball team.
So two weeks have passed now, and many are still upset, surprised or ecstatic that Donald Trump has been elected the future president of the U.S. Regardless of your position, some facts need to be addressed that are eluding the discourse in this post-election environment. This is not a liberal attack on all conservatives — Trump’s campaign included — nor is this a conservative bulwark. This column is an attempt to provide depth to a disillusioned, party-conflicted, currently anger-driven discourse.
I feel like, on a national level, a lot of us have been moving through the stages of grief during this past week and a half. It started with us being in absolute denial that a candidate who many of us saw to be unfit had been elected. Once the initial shock subsided we were angry, outraged at the hateful reactions of extreme supporters. Some of us tried bargaining with the Electoral College as a last resort, with the hopes that maybe, just this one time, history could be rewritten and things would work out in our favor. When we realized that wasn’t possible, you could say a depression hit. It has taken a while to start moving on, but a lot of us are starting to accept the things we cannot change.
