This is going to be a very interesting 4 years for the United States...and the rest of the world. We've witnessed the most unusual, ridiculous, hateful, country dividing, silly, outrageous presidential election ever seen since the country was founded. Half the country was thrilled when it was over and half the country was furious. What happened after the election has never happened before, I don't think!
There were protests in the streets of many American cities, some violent and destructive. Some college students unbelievably demanded classes be suspended until their stressed out little selves were able to get over the shock. I'm still in shock myself over supposedly intelligent young adults behaving like this!
Many of us in Canada were quite dismayed when Justin Trudeau was elected our Prime Minister but there were no riots, only a few sad sighs that this too would pass in time.
Unfortunately, there will always be part of the population who hate their leader but the next election will usually prove whether the people who voted him/her in were right or have learned from their mistake and will vote him/her out.
