Election Edition: What happened to the Human Factor in Elections and Society?

I can no longer be silent. I really believed better for us. Despite all the division in this country, I believed in the true American spirit. That when we are in crisis, we rally, we come together, we unify, we stand next to each other, and we support each other, and we fight for each other.

But I guess those times are over. 

Or maybe they were never really achieved. 

Or maybe, just maybe, this is the new beginning we needed all along.

Maybe we needed an undeniable end.

Clear cut. No illusion of what happened and why.

All so we can course correct and start healing.

Rise from the ashes.

So we can finally experience a rebirth of something better.

Maybe even something more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.
