As we all know by now, Donald Trump is now officially the new president of the United States. That, then, begs the question: what now?

There is tons and tons of negative energy towards our government at the moment. I recently underwent a little study in my public administration class and found out that everyone in that class does not like the current form of the electoral process that we have today to elect our president. There is a lot of complaining and resentment going on and it is rather unfortunate.

I do not understand why so many people want to complain but yet so many people are not politically active. This is on us. If you're apart of the crowd that does not like this turn out then do something about it, in the right way. Pay more attention to politics, get more involved in local elections, and local government.

Our government is going to be ran the way we choose it to be. But in a sense its a little too late to take action. The damage has been done and it will continue. This is on us.

Many opinions of the previous election were viewed as choosing the lesser of two evils; which is agreeable. But the reason why it got that way is because we allowed it. This is on us.

So I raise the question again, what now? Now we deal with the choices of the American people and see what the new guy has to offer. Now we reflect upon the enormous amount of millennial who aren't politically active and change that. Now we embrace a sense of patriotism and do things they way the people want. Now it is time for those who are upset to pay attention to politics more than ever so that they won't feel this way about a president again. This is OUR government, OUR country, OUR lives, now is the time to stop watching sitcoms and time to turn on the news. What now? Now we participate. This on us.
