The Election is Finally Over

Trump is not my ideal candidate for president, but I voted for him because I'm willing to give the man a chance. I'm asking everyone who reads this to give Trump a chance before you start criticizing him. I'm not naive, so I know most people aren't going to give him a chance, but it's worth a shot. And I accept that I, and other Trump voters, will be looked down upon by the news media and by ignorant folks on social media as xenophobic, racist, or bigoted (or maybe even all three). If you know me, then you know I'm not xenophobic or things like that. I'm not perfect by any means, but I do care about the citizens of this country regardless of race or nationality.

I voted for Trump because I don't think Clinton would lead our country in a positive direction due to her corruption. I would have voted for anybody other than Trump if I thought he would destroy the country or become an autocrat. I truly don't believe that Trump is going to be the end of our country, I believe that he has the potential to be a good leader.

Most of this hatred of Trump supporters comes from people who are too immature to accept the result of the. Some people have gone as far as blaming the electoral college and the sovereignty of a constitutional republic. I saw a post on Facebook today criticizing the electoral college saying that it's an old idea and it gives us presidents nobody wants. Well, using that logic: Obama won the electoral college vote, so that must mean that nobody wanted Obama as president. 

Not everyone who didn't vote Trump is angry at Trump voters, the majority of America is calm. For those people out there who are acting civilized, thank you for not going ballistic. I'm not asking you to like Trump, but let's not divide our country. You can love your country without liking the president at the time.

As Abraham Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The only way America survives is if we can unite as Americans. I hope and pray that our country will be more unified one day.
