To almost every supporter of President-Elect Trump before the election,
Please, please, please stop being judgmental jerks over the protests going on outside Trump Tower (and elsewhere). You can roll your eyes. That is your right. You can disagree. That is your right. You can bring up that there weren't massive protests when President Obama was elected. That is your right.
THEY CAN PEACEFULLY PROTEST. That is their right.
It is NOT their right to loot. That is illegal. It is NOT their right to be violent. That is illegal. It is NOT their right to bully or threaten others. That is illegal. However, don't assume that every single protester is doing these things. They're not. Many just want their voice heard. It is their right, in our great country, to peacefully protest.
Chances are that, soon, everything will go back to normal life. Everyone will go back to work. Everyone will go back to their daily lives. People won't forget anything but they will certainly go back to life. Chances are that everything will calm down sooner than you might think.
If you think for a heartbeat of a second that supporters of our President-Elect wouldn't have done the same if he had not won, you are delusional. Calm down, let them peacefully protest and know that things will be calmer soon.

United We Stand
After what can only be described as an insane election season and a very unexpected outcome, can we please just all take a moment. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and realize that the world has not ended. Realize that it's going to be okay.
I don't know if you voted for Hillary, Trump or a third party. I don't know if you wrote in a candidate of your own. I honestly don't know and it doesn't matter now. What matters now, more than ever, is that we come together as a nation. We don't have to agree on every point. I'm not saying you have to wear a "Trump" button or a "Make America Great Again" hat. What I'm saying is that we need to stand with our fellow man (and woman) and remember that we live in the greatest country in the world.
Stop with the "Well if you voted for Hillary, then....." or "If you voted for Trump then...." or for that matter, "Well if you voted third party then...." No. Just no. Voting for Hillary didn't mean that you supported the negative things she did. Voting for Trump didn't mean that you supported the negative things that he did. Voting for third party was not throwing away a vote. You voted with your heart. You voted for them because you believed in their policies and in their promises. You voted for them because you believed that they were the best person for the job. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone and anyone that is judging you based on who you voted for is forgetting that they are undermining democracy at its finest. In short, we can agree to disagree and still be friends because we live in a great nation where we all have a chance to have a voice.
Trump-voters, please stop jumping down Hillary voters throats and saying, "Get on board." Stop shaming them. Stop treating them as if they need to forget what happened less than twenty four hours ago. They are processing what's going on. Very few expected things to go this way and they're still trying to swallow the bitter candy that they didn't think they'd ever even taste. Stop gloating and give them a minute to grieve.
Hillary voters, please stop shaming Trump voters and saying they don't care. Stop name-calling because voting for Trump doesn't make you a bigot. Remember that the President doesn't call all of the shots, okay? Congress is there for a reason. We are a nation of checks and balances and we have executive, judicial and legislative branches for a reason.
The President, Hillary herself and many others (as well as President Elect Trump) are calling for our unity and I couldn't agree more. Let's come together and bring jobs back to our nation. Let's come together and unite as one people and show the world that we are America. We are the greatest nation in the world. We are a republic built on liberty and freedom. You are going to be okay. We're all going to be okay. Let's all stop jumping down each other's throats and just love one another through this.
