what now?

Navigating through the aftermath. Remembering that division has existed long before now. Wading through the wise words of others…

“Everybody is sad when their side loses an election. But the day after, we have to remember we’re actually all on one team.” — B.Obama

“I believe that we can all come together because if you take away the labels, you realize we are far more alike than we are different.” — E.DeGeneres

“We all need to give President-Elect Trump a chance. Support the good. Lobby against what we disagree on. No one is bigger than us all.” — M.Cuban

“The genius of the American system is checks and balances. When one side pushes too far there will be a correction.” — D.Bacon

“As you know, I didn’t vote for Hillary or Trump. But I meant it when I said I’d congratulate the winner & give him/her a chance to unify.” — J.Bila

“President-Elect Trump promised to rebuild our economy for working people, and I offer to put aside our differences and work with him on that task.” — E.Warren

“I have never supported Donald Trump but as a young person that was given the privilege to be born into this great nation, I will have to put my opinions and what I wanted aside till future elections. The only way our country can be successful is if our leader is successful. I encourage you to have an open mind for Donald Trump, and I ask him to have an open mind for the change we want to see.” — GL, a young teen

“We will be trying to figure out for months, if not years, to come just what was this election was really all about and what’s going on with the American public.” — M.Nutter

“Civility is a two-way street. Respect can’t be demanded and then not returned. Many on both sides have been guilty of this. Let’s change political discourse from the ground up. Have the courage to ask for and listen with the intent to understand different opinions.” — B.Brown

“Go out and actually do something positive, loving, and productive for whatever cause you claimed was such a huge issue this election season!” — K

“Condemn no man for not thinking as you think.” — J.Wesley

“You can’t win people over to your side by demonizing them. If people cannot rise to the level of human decency when dealing with others, we can never expect to move forward. This goes for both leaders and constituents.” — K.McCracken

“We are now all rooting for his success.” — B.Obama
