These are actual post election status updates from friends on social media:

“If Obama wins, the USA will be no more. He will destroy us as One Nation Under God.”
“There goes our country. What a sad sad day.”
“I’m speechless. I pray to God that America will make it till 2016.”
“And our country is ruined…”
“It’s the end of the world as we know it. God help us.”

And I want to tell everyone to get a hold of themselves. Each and every person above has a roof over their head, a full stomach and is blessed way more than we could imagine. It is simply a difference in ideology (big government vs. small government). These type of gloom and doom predictions are not helping our country. Be willing to compromise, to see the other side’s view.
To my liberal Democratic friends, be careful not to use divisive language such as “bigots” to conservative friends. Them’s fighting words and will not help build bridges to make our country great.
I fear that we are in for more stagnant government that cannot solve problems because the nation is polarized. It’s time to come together, congratulate the winner and work to a better tomorrow.
