Trump represents hope for many Americans who feel disenfranchised. Which is funny, because the majority of them are some of the most privileged people in the US. Also, how would someone who runs a multi billion dollar company know what its like to be a rural farmer in (insert southern agrarian based economy state here)? It makes no sense.

March for all, not for one

Alona Arneson, Staff Writer • February 1, 2017
I’ve protested in many different forms, on several occasions, whether it be through the newspaper or in my life. Although this act of minor demonstration has become a part of my routine, never have I been a part of a movement as momentous and massive as the Portland Women’s March. Being around thousands of people who value equality and love enough to march for it, not only brought me comfort in this time of despair, but also a deeper appreciation for the “blue” state we live in.

Trump’s wall keeps the economy out

Cruz Grover, Staff Writer • February 1, 2017
