Election: It's time to accept the results and move on

I must start by saying that I did not vote for Donald Trump; however, I did not vote for Hillary Clinton either. Now that the election is over and the people have chosen Trump as our next president, can we just move on and support him to represent our country’s citizens?

I am really tired of the protests by discontented, unruly, unlawful and immature folks who are whining for what seems to be no other reason than to destroy peace and other people’s property. I always wonder how these protesters would react if this outcome had been reversed and they suffered losses.

I have said in private circles that it seems people will protest if the wind shifts directions. It is time to grow up and become contributing members of society and not destroying ones.
