So today is the BIG election
there has been so much hoopla
there has been hate
there has been unity
now we are in the countdown
the homestretch
the last hours until the decision is made
there has been indescribable build up
but my thought today is
what happens tomorrow
this 2016 election has been one unlike any others
this campaigning has changed for the worst the way politics is viewed
it has changed the way Americans feel
this election has brought out the good
but more of the bad
America was struggling before the election
This great country has a history built on division and hate and separatism
for years some Americans have tried to grow, some have tried to heal
others have turned the blind eye
others have quieted their hate
this election ripped the bandaid back off
this election put the conversation back into the current initiative
and so I wonder tomorrow after the new President is elected
then what...
some will cry foul
many will grumble and everyone will have an opinion
but then what
will America be great again
what does that look like
does "great" mean a place where all are welcome and all are embraced
does "great" mean the division between the various classes becomes more evident
does "great" mean having a leader who is compassionate to the people
does "great" mean a leader who runs the country like a business , devoid of emotion and empathy
I don't have the answer to any of that
but I do know
tomorrow will come
tomorrow either another Clinton or a Trump will be elected
life will go on
changes will be made
and the one good thing to come out of tomorrow is that...
campaigning will end
and the next narrative will begin
