I'm going to copy and paste this here, because it is one of the most honest and sincere things I've written. I thought I preferred Trump over Clinton, but when I heard he won, I was mildly disappointed. Not for the reasons that most people were, but just because I felt Hillary Clinton would be a better President with a Republican House and Senate. Anyway, here is what I wrote, and I meant it:
For those that don't support Trump, please don't worry (too much). I remember when I cried in 1992 when Clinton won the election. I was only 9, but I never forgot the feeling of despair. It's a reflection of how caught up we get in the election process. I was 9, and knew nothing about politics, but hearing my parents speak with their friends, I felt as if a Bill Clinton Presidency would destroy the world... I think some of you, who I love and care for, might be feeling that way now. Please don't despair.
Since that time, I've come to realize that almost nothing is as bad (or as good) as it seems. Trump, like all of us, is a flawed man, but his victory speech is sincere, with the first people he thanked being his parents and his brothers and sisters. Please don't be angry.
I didn't vote for him. I try to explain my views on that in my most recent YouTube video, including why I can live with a Trump Presidency. I won't post it here, however, because the first part is mocking (as a parody), and if you're in a bad mood it won't help...
I genuinely want every person to be happy. I think despite how you may feel right now, no person can do that for you, or stop you from achieving it. Life is beautiful, and the rest is background noise.
I love you all.
Sincerely, a brother and friend,

For those who's comments I deleted, it's not because I don't mind opposing views or robust discussions. However, in the raw first three days after the election, the purpose of my post was for people to calm down and to try to look forward with optimism. I had to delete any comments that didn't help that purpose. I hope you understand.
