I'll take the high road

I watched in shock as Americans elected Trump yesterday and I think the hardest part is knowing that people I know voted for him.

The only way I can make it better for me is knowing that Democrats are going to take the higher road. We will use whatever we have to try and counteract any hateful acts we can.

I sincerely hope he finds a way to be a good leader now that he is in office, our country relies on him. With all three branches falling in behind him, there can be no excuses now.

At the worst, he will drag us down pathways no one ever dreamed of and even those with little education will be eager to usher in a more empathetic, compassionate and rational party in four years.

Sometimes the Phoenix must crash and burn before it can rise from the ashes and soar.
