Divide in society

This weeks election of Donald Trump has left me disheartened. I know on some level that it was quite possible for him to be elected president, I know this. However what is so disappointing is a candidate who ran his platform on hate was elected by citizens. It is worrisome to see how much hate must be consuming the nation, in order for such a candiate to win. However, the most disgusting behavior I have seen, is on social media platforms. I feel it is important to stress unity on social media platforms. I understand this is how people share there oppions concerning the world, however I hope that people reailize this is not where you are going to succed in changing thier minds.  At this point, it is time for the citizens to work on preparing the divide that has been created in our society. Without unity and understanding among citizens, how do we expect for our candidates to reflect these values?
