The Dawn of a New Era

The+Dawn+of+a+New+Era

It may be the biggest upset that has ever occurred in a political sphere. Donald Trump is the President-Elect of the United States of America. It was the most heated campaign in our nation’s history. The election has made many things abundantly clear: our country is the most divided it has been in a 150 years, especially about gender, income levels, and race.

Now is the time for us to come together as a nation, regardless of what side of the political spectrum you fall on. It won’t happen overnight. A lot of the responsibility falls on President Trump to help close the divides that he helped to create.

The onus also falls on us, the American people as well. We must give President Trump a fair opportunity to lead our nation. We have to have faith in the political checks and balances installed by our forefathers that America will continue to strive for excellence and be the leader in the world for equality, peace, humanity, and solidarity.

It would be naïve to think we will always agree on everything, political or otherwise. Nor should we. But the thought of compromise has suddenly become a word associated with a negative connotation, which has become an obstacle when trying to find solutions to problems that face our nation.

Yes, our country feels broken, but it will take us all as a united country to come together and mend those wounds, a President can’t do that by himself, it’s something that we will have to do ourselves.
