I wasn't going to post on the election...because, honestly, the last thing I want is to get into a political discussion on my LJ. (And, yes, politics affects all of our lives, but I still don't enjoy discussing it. It's one of the guaranteed ways to start needless fights among people who usually get along.) I'm just seeing so much utter outrage

WOW!...You are so calm...

(I'm Canadian so my opinion doesn't actually count...however)
I can't actually say I agree with you that your country will be alright. National debt and unemployment wise, it is not looking so pretty...But it is nice to see someone is calm today. I am almost hugged out, for all the people who are freaking.

I can't actually say I agree with you that your country will be alright.

I believe that it will. I really do. (Perhaps not necessarily within these next four years, but it will happen.) I guess, the way I look at it, is that it's useless to freak out at this point. If the man wins, then he wins. I did my part to change things by voting yesterday, and that was the best I could do.

I'm a big believer in "things happen for a reason." Hopefully it will be a good one in the long run that will make us a stronger nation.

('Course if he starts out by getting rid of some of the people he hinted at getting rid of, that will at least be a step in the right direction.)

I understand your point. And I think you are right that the U.S. will heal itself, one way or another. I just think that the next 4 years will be more of the same, and I can't say I am optimistic about that.

However, again I state that I am Canadian, so I don't get a say in it And thankfully, the effect this decision will have on my country will be minimal.
