The Only Political Post I'll Ever Write

I know a lot of people are upset about the election. There have been riots, burning the American flag, protests, petitions, marches, etc. I'm not writing to tell you your beliefs are wrong. I'm not saying that any one political party is the right one or that one candidate was better than the other. I am telling you all that really neither candidate was the best. I do not support either of them fully. Both have said and done things that they shouldn't have. I am telling you all to stop being sore losers and start acting like the strong nation we are and working on supporting each other. You may not believe in Donald Trump. But you have to believe in our country. You have to believe in democracy. You have to believe in the way our nation and government are organized. If you want something to change stop whining about what happened during the election and go out and work to make the world a better place. Help others, volunteer, give of yourself and your time, help the refugees, actually go out and vote for your community leaders, work hard, continue to pray for our country, teach your children what you believe. This poem is on the Statue of Liberty. Maybe we all need to take the time to actually read it: 

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, 

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. 

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, 

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 

Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tost to me, 

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Maybe if we all stopped fighting and saying things we don't mean to people we love we will be able to actually make America great again. Two candidates ran, we voted, one won, and now it is our turn to gather together as One Nation Under God and support the one who won regardless of who we voted for because he is now president, he deserves our respect, and the only way our country is going to thrive is if we work together to make it better and welcome those who are different and think differently than we do with open arms.
