Donald Trump won electoral college and Hillary Clinton took the popular vote. He will be president and we shall move on from here.
At this point only time will tell what this means for the nation. There is an angry half of the country celebrating their victory, they refer to themselves as the silent majority, however the actual vote count tells a different story and people need to remember that most of all. As a nation we are fairly evenly divided time will show how policies will play out.
I have heard and read today that those who opposed Trump should now respect the decision and give him a chance, I am on the fence with that position. Yes I know there is the argument of being the better person but after the last 8 years of bruising opposition, questioning the legitimacy of President Obama, why should President-elect Trump be given a break?
What happens if he really does try to engage in a political witch hunt led by Giuliani at the justice department? How about if he authorizes the use of torture? What about religious litmus tests to enter the country? How far down that path will we as a nation let him go?
There is a lot to take in but I for one have no intention of just laying down and rolling over.
