This election has been a disaster, with two candidates so vastly different that we have been split in two separate camps; families and friendships have suffered over these two clowns. No perfect candidate, and the two we were left with had plenty of flaws for the other side to scavenge from the depths of the internet and bring to light with a sneer. I didn't hear one positive thing from either of their constantly yapping mouths, or the mimicking mouths of their supporters (myself included), regarding the opponent. If you supported either of them, you were a killer, a rapist, a bigot, a liar.
Hate has run rampant through our amber waves of grain.
And now, the election is over. We have our new president. For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health...for at least the next 4 years.
And we are again in two vastly different camps: Despair and Exultation. We have responded with gloating, fear, hate, and threats of immigration. We have completely lost our shit, America.
Instead of running amok with hate and despair in our hearts, dear ones, I challenge us to radiate love and if not acceptance, than respect and tolerance. Love thy neighbor. Make the best of the hand we've been dealt.
Be the change you want to see.
Well said Sam!
