It's all too easy to feel righteous indignation for the "others" when we're so easily immersed in our own little bubbles and personal challenges. To be sure, there are fringes on the edges of every faction of the political spectrum that are more difficult to reconcile, but if one can tune out that noise for a moment there is a possibility of reaching a deeper understanding of one another here. Whether or not you like the path chosen to office by our new President-elect--or even like him at all--there is something to be learned from listening to the large numbers of people who voted him into office and the factions that supported him. Most of them are honest, decent, and hardworking people that have similar struggles, hopes, emotions, concerns, and dreams as most anyone else in this country. The President-elect's message resonated with many people. That may seem crazy to many folks, but most folks who voted for him aren't crazy. Pay attention, engage in conversation, and try to understand why it resonated. And if you supported him, do the same. If everyone can work hard to remove the rhetoric and BS perpetuated by any of the political parties all the better.
