We Americans went to the polls on November 3rd, 2020, in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, and voted to either re-elect Trump or replace him with Biden, in record numbers! We smashed voting records! That is extraordinary. That is democracy at work. Whatever happens, we should be at peace with the outcome of this election, for the sake of civility and unity. We can... and should be better than what divides us. Whether the man you're rooting for wins or loses the presidency, we still must co-exist in this deeply divided nation It's up to us to take a collective breath and turn down the temperature. Democrat, Republican or Independents, we're all Americans, and we made our voices heard on election day. Whatever happens, we should be at peace with the outcome of this election, for the sake of civility and unity. We can... and should be better than what divides us. The presidency currently hangs in the balance as votes are still being counted, we must let the process play out. Whatever the result, we must soldier on with our lives. It's going to be okay when the dust finally settles. We've all felt the sting of election outcomes not going our way. I have, you have. Yet here we all are, still Whatever happens, we should be at peace with the outcome of this election, for the sake of civility and unity. We can... and should be better than what divides us.

Ugh, it would be nice to have some peace again. This country is turning into a third world. Such shame and very sad really. Well said, Edward :)

It really is, Akkina. This happens after every election, but this is no ordinary election. We haven't been this divided as a nation in decades! On top of all that, we still have this Covid-19 pandemic that is affecting hundreds of people! Ugh. We've got work to do to heal as a nation and regain normalcy! Thank you for the feedback and visit:-)
