We are currently at a point in our country's lifetime where people are clearly on either one side or the other. With the recent election of Donald Trump as our 45th President, the reactions have been widespread and have ranged from fear to full-on hatred.

In some parts of the country, people are screaming racial slurs at each other and writing hateful messages in public places that include Swasitkas on baseball dugouts.

While that is going on, people across the country are throwing riots and staging walkouts to voice their displeasure of the man who was just elected as our President.

It honestly makes me sick to my stomach to see all of these things happening. It makes our country look weak and if we don't come to grips with this election and who was elected, the rest of the world will look at us as a nation that can't get out of its own way.

Now, the logical question is: "How do we move forward?"

Well, it's not an easy question to answer, but, there are a few things that need to be said before I dive deeper into that question, about both those who supported Trump and those who supported Hillary.

Let it be known that not all Trump supporters are racists, islamophobes, xenophobes or deplorable. That is an unfair thing to say, and when that said, more hate and disagreement is made between us just because of a snap judgement. It is certainly a tricky situation to say the least, for proof of its trickiness, just look at the estimated 4 million Latino voter and 42 percent of women who voted for him.

If you voted for Donald Trump and you are reading this, I just wanted to let you know that it's okay. There should be no reason why you have to hide who you voted for because of the backlash and conclusions that are drawn to you just because of the man you chose to vote for.

Let it also be known that just because someone voted for Hillary doesn't mean that her supporters hate unborn babies and rural areas.

Now, how do we move forward? Well, that's tough.

First of all, there are some people in this country who are legitimately hurt, we cannot just ignore that. Hasan Minhaj, a correspondent for "The Daily Show," while being asked how he felt about the election, said, “You may not personally be a racist, sexist xenophobe, but that comes with the package so if you take that deal, what you’re telling me is, ‘Hey man, I don’t hate you. I just don’t care about you.’"

Like I said before, that is obviously not true that everyone should be thrown into that blanket, but, not showing compassion to those who have been hurt by this election, you are giving off that impression to those who have been hurt.

We can move forward by stopping the hateful rhetoric that we have been hearing for the past two years. In the Bible, Ephesians 4:29 says, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

To the other side of the aisle, those who voted for Hillary and are expressing their distaste with the election of Trump by saying "Not my President" need to also calm down.

The democratic process has taken its course, and we got who we voted for, it is time to sit down, take this in, and move on. We have survived worse than this, this is not the end of the world.

The reason why I am decidedly more harsh on those who are liberal is because the common sense is that the end is nigh, but, that is not the case.

Liberal millennials who are upset about the result of the election is the reason why older generations hate us and what we were raised with.

We cannot breed love unless if we love each other and stop looking at each other with the filters that this past election process have put on our eyes.

It is so hard for all of us to put aside what we think, but, if we don't we won't grow as a country, and it's not until we can put our differences aside that we will be able to grow.
