"Do not let this defeat you — let this enrage you! Let it motivate you! Let this be the fire you didn't have before. If you are an immigrant, if you are a person of color, if you are LGBTQ+, if you are a woman — don't be afraid, be loud!" — Jennifer Lawrence, in an essay for Broadly

"America didn't stop being America last night and we didn't stop being Americans and here's the thing about Americans: Our darkest days have always — always — been followed by our finest hours." — Aaron Sorkin, in an essay to his daughter

Choosing to believe Trump voters were sick of the establishment (a feeling we all share to some degree) and valued change above all else...

Hillary voters: Trump voters aren't all racist misogynistic bullies at heart... they wanted change, and didn't think Hillary was capable.

— James Van Der Beek (@vanderjames) November 9, 2016

America didn't find Trump's flaws fatal for a prez, but can we now all at least admit they're flaws and work together to keep him in check?

— James Van Der Beek (@vanderjames) November 9, 2016

Trump voters: In his victory, can we all take a breath and acknowledge the racism, misogyny & bullying we all find unacceptable?

— James Van Der Beek (@vanderjames) November 9, 2016

Feeling a lot of pain tonight... trying to make sense of it. I feel the anger too... trying to see a way out of it. Maybe it's too soon...

— James Van Der Beek (@vanderjames) November 9, 2016

But it's going to have to happen eventually. And it will. I have to believe that.

— James Van Der Beek (@vanderjames) November 9, 2016

This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated.

— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) November 9, 2016

Congratulations @realDonaldTrump for your stunning victory over your opponent! Looking forward to making AMERICA great again!

No matter how dark the times we must face reality & quietly work for the common good & collective evolution with love and compassion.

We must reach out to our friends in the immigrant, LGBT, people of color, & female communities. Promise you'll fight for them. And do.

Tradition over truth, arrogance over info, Fame over decency, white male power over, everything. Being horrible is a culture. #ElectionNight

Be tired. Be mad. Be honest & concerned. But be not afraid. Rest up. Be safe. Come together. Construct. Know your surroundings. Be creative.

Gather your strength. Now we must turn our tears to sweat, do battle with hate, and turn this chaos into progress. The great work begins.

I still believe in us. Despite this evident, great divide. It's time to come together. Hear each other. Not give up, cry, or gloat. Unite.

1- I think the thing to focus on now is our families. To love those that were put in our lives to care for. Also our respective health,

2- work and faith. The American political system is broken. Walk away from it for a while. As Coriolanus says, "There is a world elsewhere."

A climate-denying, anti-equality, anti-reproductive rights establishment has been installed, so yes, we're allowed our online meltdowns.

The positive element from all this is that we can no longer pretend that we are free of racism & sexism. The question is, what do we do now?

How do we explain this to future generations of women? And minorities?#weshouldbeashamedofourselves
