Well the election is over and social media is blowing up with rants about who won and who lost. As seen on CNN women and men of all races are rioting, and many are fighting and beating each other over an election. Some Americans are blaming Trump for the dividing of this country. However, the reality is there has always been racism, sexism and discrimination. The world was broken before Trump came along.
Violence is not the answer to our problems. We are breaking each other down because of politics. Now isn't the time for violence. Now is the time for unity. One of the reasons that people didn't like Trump was because of his treatment of others. How are we any better if we start rioting?
On our currency it is printed "In God we trust." God says in Mark 12:31 "treat your neighbor as yourself." We are supposed to treat others the way we want to be treated. We shouldn't be tearing fellow Americans down! Instead, we should be building them up and coming together as a country to enact positive change. President Obama and Hilary Clinton both have showed support for Trump. Clinton posted on her Facebook "Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans." And Obama said after a meeting with Trump that he "wanted Trump to succeed and would do everything he could to ensure a smooth transition."
If the same politicians who were fighting just a week ago are coming together ... why can't we? The truth is, violence doesn't lead to change. Violence will only lead to the destruction of this country. Love trumps hate. Now is the time to come together and work as one country under God and enact the very change we have fought for. This country isn't broken beyond repair. Trump did not break America. However, only we together as one can work towards repairing America.
