i was sitting on my couch, in tears, and my dad, an Old Liberal, sits down next to me and he says

‘i know i can’t say anything that will make any of this better, but i want you to know that, in 1980, when i was 18 years old, i watched the country elect ronald reagan, and i was just as devastated as you are now. it felt like everyone had gone insane. my friends and i joked about moving to canada or japan or england, just like you are with your friends. i was angry then, and i’m still a little bitter now, but I got through it. we all did. donald trump is not ronald reagan, i know, but if i can get through it, so can you.’

1) supplied iraq with weapons while knowing the iraq govt was using chemical weapons against civilian populations (5000 kurdish citizens were killed)

2) supported the nicaraguan dictatorship and helped overthrow the democratically elected govt

3) opposed any sanctions to south africa and supported apartheid

4) supported a large number of brutal dictators because of their opposition to communism

5) literally made up the original “welfare queen” story, g-d knows how many black women this has been used to do harm against

6) put literally millions of people out of jobs (his unemployment rating was high as fuck)

7) allowed hundreds of thousands of family farms to go bankrupt, again losing peoples’ jobs and food sources

8) literally fucking ignored the AIDS epidemic and let tens of thousands of LGBT people die under his nose

writing adult emails is awful

its like

hi [name of person], 

this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something / ask you something that is vital to my career as a student. 

I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you’ll probably just glance over it for half a second.

thanks! 

Dear Person I am Writing To:

This is an optional sentence introducing who I am and work for, included if the addressee has never corresponded with me before. The second optional sentence reminds the person where we met, if relevant. This sentence states the purpose of the email.

This optional paragraph describes in more detail what’s needed. This sentence discusses relevant information like how soon an answer is needed, what kind of an answer is needed, and any information that the other person might find useful. If there’s a lot of information, it’s a good idea to separate this paragraph into two or three paragraphs to avoid having a Wall of Text.

If a description paragraph was used, close with a restatement of the initial request, in case the addressee ignored the opening paragraph.

This sentence is just a platitude (usually thanking them for their time) because people think I’m standoffish, unreasonably demanding, or cold if it’s not included.

Closing salutation,

Signature.
