The President-Elect

It’s the end of campaign commercials and flyers being stuck in your door.
It’s the beginning of a barrage of negativity spewing forth from the minds of Americans via the internet, which has already started.
It’s only 0940 and I’ve already read a couple of dozen posts on news sites insulting the President-Elect, based on the color or his skin, perceptions of his ideology, etc.
What people don’t seem to understand is that, like all opinions, each American has an opinion and a perception of what this country is and should be. Some believe that America is different and should not be like the rest of the world while others see benefits in globalization.
An examination of elections during the last couple of decades shows a 50/50 split in the votes. Does that mean that as individuals, we don’t agree with half of this country?
Get online. Read posts and comments. Decide for yourself what leads us to see the country and the world so differently. If each of us could come to understand our differences, we could communicate on an entirely different level and truly become a united nation.
