Getting violent and protesting the outcome of the election is not the way to bring about the change that you seek. Whether you are for one party or the other, you have to accept the outcome of the election. This is part of the foundation that the United States was built upon. There's always going to be a winner and a loser in an election, but the country moves forward.
It's a teachable moment for those who want to learn. Your candidate didn't win. Why is that? What could have been done better? What were the things that your candidate was fighting for? Was the plan solid? Was it the fact that your candidate didn't get their point across? What went wrong? This will be a time to think about all of that and make plans to move ahead.
Elections are won and lost based on how well your message resonates with the people. People who believe strongly in the Republican ideology will vote that way. People who believe strongly in the Democrat ideology will do the same. This leaves the people in the middle. These are the people who aren't strongly aligned with either party. They resonate with the message and whether they believe a candidate will do what they say they're going to do. These are the people who are going to be watching how people act after the election results come in.
Violence is not the way. At the end of the day, you learn what you need to learn from the outcome and move ahead. You don't give up on fighting politically for your ideals. That battle never truly ends in this country, which is one of the things that's made it great. If you believe strongly in your ideals and want to take a role in the political movement to make it happen, this country is set up so that you can make a difference. Changes begin at the grassroots, and the difference you make is reaching out to others and getting them to believe that your way is the way to go.
if you choose to get violent, loot and burn down buildings, the country and the world at large will be watching. What sort of impact do you think you're going to make when it comes to winning the hearts and minds of the people you need to bring about change? You will do more damage than good to your cause. That is not the way. They'll wonder if what you really want to do is burn down the country and destroy it's very foundation. If that's not what your intentions are, then you need to accept the outcome and move forward. There's always another election and another opportunity to make your case for why your way is the way to go.
