Presidential Election 2016 · 3:03pm Nov 9th, 2016
Hmm... well, I guess I'm surprised.
Am I truly sad though? I guess not. I had hopes after having voted for my first ever election. I had hopes that Donald Trump was not going to win. I had faith and tried to be optimistic that Hillary Clinton would win. To my surprise I was thrown for a loop. Am I sad though? Well... meditating after having a hike helped soothe my worries. So I feel lax about this whole situation.
To take away from this though. I do ask those who are anxious, those who are scared, that nothing major is going to change at all. If I remember how I felt during Obama's presidency, as a small child, I was afraid of what was going to happen. Now I approach Trump's election with the same thought process, and do hope that everyone will learn to cope with it. Nothing happened with Obama. There will be nothing major happening in Trump's wake. (Besides a possible wall and mass deportation event). This is all I can truly say. I congratulate Clinton for performing as best as she could. I wish it was her but that is now a possibility that will never happen. But I do congratulate Trump for his victory. This political campaign. Besides the fact that this was one of the biggest kid shows I've ever seen, I have to give it to Trump for winning. It's not always easy accepting certain outcomes, believe me, I worried myself last night. But... you gotta hand it to him.
Now to end it off. Do not worry about what is to come. Do not worry about what could've been. Instead... focus on the now. If something happens, sometimes it is beyond our control. But don't give up hope. We still have a voice. We will always have a voice. Now to not end off on a downer...
Thank you Luna!
You. You basically said what I've been saying.
4292456 Which part? The accepting the reality part or trying to reassure others?
4292464 Both.
4292465 Well. Glad to see that great minds think alike. Yeah... but hey, let's just see where this goes. It's better to wait and then ponder before reacting immediately and believing the world is over.
4292510 Plus he has to have the Senate to back him up so it's not like he's automatically gonna change everything.
4292521 Right. It's going to be just a bunch of exaggerations at the moment. He really can't do much without the Senate and Congress backing him. And not a lot of Republicans like him as well besides the ones who are possibly brown nosing.
