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.
