Trump Won. Now What?

My suggestion: reach out to someone with a completely different view than you. Ask one of your friends that supported Trump this year to grab a beer, and ask them why they supported him. Do the same with Johnson and Stein voters, and if you know someone who didn’t vote, ask them why they didn’t vote. If you’re a Trump supporter, ask one of your friends why they’re so scared of a Trump presidency. The key to successfully learning something from these conversations will be to listen. Don’t try to prove your point. Don’t quote facts, studies or statistics. Just sit back and listen for understanding. In the end, we’re all just Americans who want what’s best for the country. Organize, Organize, Organize - This is what makes our country so great. When we elect a president, we are not electing a dictator that is going to rule over us for decades to come. There will be multiple elections while Trump is in power, so if you disagree with Trump, you’ll have many opportunities to chip away at his majority. Democracy is a game of inches. You gain a few and lose a few, but the key is to never stop pushing forward on your causes. For example, the Tea Party movement rose out of the ashes of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign back in 2007, and President Obama’s rise to power fueled their movement. If you’re a progressive, don’t sit back and call Donald Trump supporters ugly names. Get up and organize. Rally your troops and start gathering momentum for the elections ahead. You’ll get another shot, but you’ll have to be ready to take it when it comes. No matter how crazy the odds or unsavory the situation, I still refuse to bet against America.
