How to Support the President You Didn't Vote For

Voting for a US President, often times, requires a lot of time and energy.

You read a lot, watch debates, and fend off an onslaught of advertising. Once you've voted and later find out your candidate didn't win, you might be angry, upset, or physically sick. Embrace the new President. Here's how and why.

Step1

First and foremost, we are the greatest nation in the world.

Yes, we still are.

So give the due respect to the leader of this great nation.
Step2

Put your country first.

Trust that the new President will do the same.
Step3

Forget about all the negative information that was said about the new President during the campaigns and remember it's okay for people to respectfully disagree with one another. That's how you learn. That's how you grow. This is what our country is all about.
Step4

Never speak negatively about our President and/or his policies to anyone other than another American. Perception isn't everything, but close to it.

It's important how our country is perceived in the world and could make a difference in our bargaining power on many fronts.
Step5

Keep pressure on your Congressman to promote the ideas and concerns of you and your community. You'll be surprised at how often the new President agrees with you.
Step6

Everyone deserves a chance.

Give the new President a chance to lead.

You were probably so focused on the positives of your candidate and the negatives of the opposing candidate that you may have failed to see the positive attributes of the President you didn't vote for.
