Election Results

My parents voted for Trump. I voted for kamala. I love my parents.

Plenty of Trump supporters love our country and its people. Everyone does it differently. It can be hard to see the love amidst the hateful campaign ads and speeches, tactics, and tense climate.

But it’s there, and it’s strong.

If we all focus on that simple truth, regardless of our affiliations, then our government will represent our collective heart.

So fuck the results, let’s be the best we can be for our nation and beyond.

EDIT: I’m not surprised many of you are scared, feeling unloved, and angry. It’s a challenging time to be an American, no matter what side you’re on. When you’re ready, look deep into your opponent. Almost always, you will find that they love, just differently than you. That’s the nature of life. Love that too.

EDIT: If you or your loved ones are part of the non-white Christian group, I know it sounds crazy to say that a Trump supporter may love you, and vice versa. In most cases that’s only because neither has tried to bridge the gap. If you try, you will see another beautiful person on the other side of the aisle.

Please, in true Berkeley fashion, make peace not war.
