Too often do I find myself thinking about a world where Hillary Clinton is the current president of the United States.

I wonder if this hateful division in our country was inevitable or spiked from the hatred within our current president, Mr.Trump. 

I wonder if Neo-Nazis and racists would have stayed silent and underground, where they belong.

But most of all, I wonder how all females would feel if the first woman was elected president back in 2016, and not someone who constantly degrades and presents a sexist mindset. 

I was angry, angry at the thought that our country could have progressed many steps into the future but instead are tumbling backward everyday. 

I thought about the millions of young girls who would have been so empowered by a female president, the things our country could have been.

I wondered until the 2018 Midterm elections, when across the country, women made a historic run.

The U.S. House of Representatives elected a record number of women, with at least 90 women expected to make their way to Washington, D.C.

Among those women are, Democrat Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib became the first

Muslim women elected to Congress. 

Republican Marsha Blackburn became Tennessee’s first female Senator. 

Democrats Deb Haaland and Sharice Davids became the first Native American women elected to Congress, and Republican Kristi Noem became South Dakota’s first female governor.

Our very own El Paso native, Veronica Escobar, will become the city’s first woman in Congress and possibly one of the first two Texas Latinas in the U.S. House State Senate. 

I realized that President Trump may have the power to stop a lot of things, but strong, powerful women is not one of them. 

These women are breaking the odds and showing American what they missed out on. 

While we may never now what our country would have looked like with Hillary Clinton as our president, we do know what it looks like to have a recored breaking midterm election.

Proof that women cannot be stopped, women will be heard, and women are our future leaders.

The future is female, the future is now,

and that I know is inevitable.
