“Honestly, I feel upset about the D.C. riots. I am mainly upset with the fact that there American citizens that are fighting against the peaceful transfer of power that has always been a defining factor of America. The Election of 1800, without any bloodshed, Jefferson, Democratic Republican, was able to peacefully rise to power even though his ideologies were completely different than the previous presidents that were affiliated with the Federalist party. This was such an amazing accomplishment, so it is upsetting that there are some people that are trying to fight against this wonderful Democratic tradition. Furthermore, it is upsetting that the president does not understand the importance of this tradition and the impact his words and actions have on people.”
