你连投票权都放弃了,有什么资格哭
起初他们要在墨西哥边境建起一道墙,我没有说话,因为我不是拉丁裔;接着他们让社会倒退宣扬种族歧视,我没有说话,因为我不是少数种族;后来他们反对LGBT,我没有说话,因为我符合大家眼中的“正常取向”;之后他们挤兑女权主义,我没有说话,因为我不是女性。最后,他们要来迫害我,但再也没有人站出来为我说话了。
改编自马丁尼莫拉牧师墓志铭。

美国大选结束后的第一天,有一些失望,带着往常的情绪去上课,不怀抱任何畏惧,不带任何希望。到了教室,和往日不同,同级生围坐在地上,L戴着一顶红色的帽子,讲道今早上课,他仅仅是因为带了一顶红帽子,停车的时候,被人羞辱:Shame on you! Jerk!
帽子颜色被误认为政治主张,站队蓝色或者红色,但是令人讶异是美国社会对于此次大选结果的戾气。环顾四周,几位女生穿着一袭黑色,更有甚者带上了礼帽和葬礼的黑色,来缅怀此次选举。教授S进来了,带领我们做表演前的准备活动,按照常理,学院里的教授是不可以对于学生公开表露他们的政治主张,但是她精疲力竭,咬着嘴唇,眼中都是泪水。
大家围绕成一圈,肩膀相贴,感受着自己的呼吸,和来自旁人的温度。S和往常一样,只是提示我们下一个动作的时候话语中多了些颤抖。她念起了林肯的话,
With none, with for all, with in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us on to the work we are in, to bind up the 's .
紧接着我的手被悄悄抓住了,碰触到我的那一刻,我感到了一种近乎绝望的冰凉,仿佛在抓住一根最后的救命稻草,接着我听到那只手的主人的隐忍的啜泣,接着是号啕大哭。我没有敢睁开眼睛,也没有勇气将力量握回去。

她哭得像个小孩,伤心,难过,绝望,她悲意慷慨。
然而我却牢牢记得,在投票日,我问她是否行驶了公民权利,投了票。
她笑着把政治一脚踢开:我不喜欢政治,所以我弃权了。不过我想,也不差我这一张票。
Jenny ,
他一米九,倦缩成一团,无助的颤抖,愤怒地讲着民主和人道主义,痛恨着所有投票者。
然而我也记得,在投票日,我问他将票投给了谁,
他也是一样的愤怒,偏执,像一个叛逆期的少年:我知道结果一定是希拉里,但是我这一票没差,我投给少数党派了。

就像面对每一次考试,我们都会抱怨,分数为什么没有达到预期的高度,却在所有的复习周,无所事事。我们总是喜欢在事情已经发生后表示事与愿违,却不反思自己,到底有没有在过程中努力过,我们期待着事情变成我们想要的样子,却将自己的执念消耗在偏执中。

这两天,关于川普,关于希拉里的种种言论,我无法预料也无法反驳,因为历史是留给后人评定的,看似一场精彩的个体竞争,实际上是两种不同价值观念的对抗。可能川普会在之后尊重种族平等,尊重女性,尊重法律,就像我们无法预期到,醉汉会戒酒自新,教会的圣人会堕落,牧师会和唱诗班的少女私奔。
