 Donald Trump[^1] is only the second to do so after Grover Cleveland[^2]. As is normally the case, I didn't read the news or stay up to watch the results come in. I fell asleep shortly after watching The Simpsons. I didn't vote for Trump but I'm also not completely doom and gloom on a second term. The good news is that we won't have a bunch of election conspiracy nuts storming any government buildings this go round or the continued rigged rhetoric. Although I don't have a lot of confidence in his leadership, I'll watch with bated anticipation to see how it all shakes out.

 There are a lot of things I just don't like. I'm oh so tired of the hatred rhetoric, but I've got just enough confidence in our system to avoid a full on mess. I don't like the republican party's embrace of anti-this.that.or.another blaming everyone and thing from immigrants to atheist. I don't really think finger pointing is helpful in finding meaningful solutions and I am genuinely concerned for minorities populations be it political party, race, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation. I could go on here, but I think the apparent political divisiveness speaks loud enough for itself.
