There are a lot of thoughts and emotions right now. And I'm going to do my best to try and make sense of them. I also don't want to insult anyone or their opinions. I apologize in advance if that happens.
This election itself has been a shit storm. From the debates to last night.
I'm going to start with saying Congratulations to Mr. Trump - our new president. I hope you have a good four years and are able to be a fair and just President to this country.
To Hillary Clinton, I am very sorry. You have spend 30 years in politics, fighting for minority rights and we lost you this one.
Hillary Clinton does have her negatives, of course she does. Being in politics for as long as she has been, she has made some bad decisions. But hello - we all have made bad decisions in our lives. Her's just happen to be at a larger scale. I am with her, and I will be with her. You see, I trusted Hillary to keep cool in bad situations. Why did I trust her? Her husband cheated on her and humiliated her in front of the world - and what did this women do? She stood by his side. I mean, imagine your spouse cheating on you, how would you handle that. We would probably go bat shit crazy and leave. But she didn't, she couldn't, she was married to the President of the United States of America. Instead, she stood with her husband, did her job as a lawyer and pulled through. I can't imagine being in her position and keeping my head up. That is why I would trust her with our national security codes.
Donald Trump hasn't shown that aptitude as of yet. Hillary would deliberately try to wound him up in debates and he would take the bait. But I said "yet", because now he is the President and I hope he knows that, that means he will hear things from people across the globe and he will have to keep his calm and show class. (In this case, I will refer to Obama. Hate him or love him - that man has class and grace. He handled the hate he received so brilliantly!) Trump also made some comments that leave you to wonder what he really believes.
I am a bit saddened however. Donald Trump made comments about a varied amount of races, religions, sexual orientations, and sexes. And yet, this man was able to win with an impressive amount of votes. It makes a person think - how do our neighbors, coworkers, and friends really feel?
For those people who did not vote, or voted third party because they didn't like Hillary or Trump - then that is fine. It is totally your decision. If you slept well and good last night after hearing the results, then this is NOT directed at you. If you are someone who didn't vote, or did vote third party and you went to sleep thinking "Oh shit, trump won" - then you know you should have voted Hillary.
I know what Trump has said, and I have watched documentaries about his life. This is why I decided to have voted for Hillary. Of course, I don't know what kind of president he will be - I will reserve judgment on that until we see what he does and how he carries himself as President.
For those who are scared and upset - you have every right to be. Please remember, things happen for a reason. Keep your chin up and go on with life.
For those who are happy about the results - you have every right to be. But please don't gloat and remember we are all human. We all deserve respect.
In the end - it doesn't matter who our president is. What matters is humanity and how we treat each other. Treat each other well and respect each other. Learn to respect peoples beliefs no matter how different they be from yours. Learn to accept people of all different cultures and backgrounds. That's what makes America great - our diversity and able to accept everyone.
