By Richard Seamon, Somerset.
To say that I’m disappointed would be an understatement; I’m disheartened, confused and worried. However, I feel it’s important to say that I am not angry at anyone for their vote and I will not be “unfriending” anyone (either online or in person) and I hope no one chooses to “unfriend” me. Even though I’m not sure that I recognize the country that I live in today, it would be worse if we allowed this result to drive personal wedges between us.
As to Mr. Trump, I feel it’s important to recognize that he did not win the popular vote and he does not have a mandate from the people. It seems clear that his support came from a feeling of economic hopelessness and that government has abandoned certain segments of our society. Whether true or not, perception has clearly become reality.
