So a week from now, for better or worse, we'll have a new president. People are going to be mad about it, no matter what happens. Do I have hopes about who will win? Of course I do. Everyone does. We'll see. Honestly, as much as the major election matters, the state issues and elections will decide more things for how my life is going than the national ones will.
I do hope that this is the last election where we start the process like two years before the election year. I feel like this election as been dragging on forever. We're all tired of it. We're all exhausted by it. This must be how elephants feel about pregnancy.
When all the smoke clears, however, we all still have to live with each other. We're still friends and families and coworkers. When the election is over, all of us still have choices to make. We can either see people around us as people with value, or we can reduce them to their political beliefs and continue to dig this ditch.
It would be nice, very nice, if we could stop the arguments.
