"The sun has risen and fallen, as will it for a long time. The presidential elections are pretty much over.
Despite what many of you believe, Trump has won the presidency fair and square. Whether or not you agree with the electoral college, it was the official process for electing a president, and trump (pretty overwhelmingly) beat Hillary where it mattered. You have to get over that.
Also despite what many of you believe, this is not the end of the world. We've come out of controversies like this in the past, the 2000 election being one of several instances. Despite his rhetoric, you have to respect the fact that many people trust this man to be our president, so we have to give him a chance.
We are all americans, and for that reason, we shouldn't be throwing temper tantrums that our candidate lost the election because whoever the president will be, they will *have* to have the people's best interest in mind, and we can't say for sure whether he'll do that until we give him a chance.
Someone here quoted Bernie Sanders earlier when he said this:
"To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him.To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him."
Let's have this mindset going into January. Because Trump *will* be president and will be representing *all* of us, we have to help and ensure his success as a president, not stand idly, hoping that he makes a mistake so that we can ridicule him.
Addressing the Trump supporters, congratulations. Trump ran a hard fought campaign and won. Now you too, need to move on. Many of you see yourselves as fundamentally different from Clinton supporters, and you're wrong. We're all americans and we want what's best for everyone here. So telling people that voted Clinton to leave the US is just as problematic as Clinton supporters saying they will. It's obviously not serious but it does nothing to unite the people under the new president-elect. You, too, have to realize that Trump is no longer *your* candidate and is now *our* future president. Ostracizing those that didn't vote for him is counterproductive.
Despite having voted for Hillary, I accept Trump as the future president, and I'm rooting for him to do well, because his success is our success. Just my thoughts.
A concerned, but proud American,
