election 2016: quick thoughts

This year's election has proven to be one of the most heartbreaking ones in the history of our country. Though we are supposed to unite, the outcome of the 2016 election has created outrage and division between everyone. Ever since Donald Trump has been elected president, there have been countless stories of protests and racist acts in the news. By no means am I a Hillary supporter nor am I a Trump supporter but I am an America supporter. I believe that Trump was elected for a reason and that you can't judge a book by its cover. Though people trash Trump for his hate against countless races and denominations, the hate stirred within people in Trump's elections is insane. My parents have always taught me to give people chances no matter who they are. I don't support the harsh words Trump says but I do respect that he will be the president for the next 4 years. People have so much hate for a person who they haven't even given a chance and that's what disappoints me. I'm disappointed in a country which supports democracy but falls apart when they don't like the elected. If anything, the country needs to find unity more than ever and it isn't gonna happen if people can't stand by the one who has been elected. I believe in giving people chances and I think people should find it in themselves to give the president a chance also.
