The King is dead! Long live the King !

I listen to the newscasts on radio and tv, I read the newspapers and, yes, I even read the entries on facebook. What do i read and hear ? Nothing but bellyaching, whining and complaining about the outcome of the US election. There are those who now protest vigorously and shout slogans directed against the President-elect of their country. Do they understand even the most fundamental aspects of Democracy? Under this system the population at large elect a person to a position of leadership. Whether this is for mayor of Joetown (population 350) or for the Presidency of the entire country (population 330 million). Once he/she is elected it's game closed. The belated screams of protest are not only useless but also highly unproductive. Yes, you have the right to demonstrate your dissatisfaction in an orderly, non-destructive way, but it really gets you nowhere for at least another four years.
So, stop bellyaching, stop your whining, get involved in something constructive and get on with your life.
The USA will survive Donald Trump.
It has survived much worse. It has survived the practice of slavery, it has survived a devastating War of Independence, as well as an even more destructive Civil War. It has survived the Great Depression, Pearl Harbour could not defeat it, and goodness knows what else this Country of the United States of America has had to deal with and has, in fact, not only survived but has come out ever stronger.
I get a kick out of those Americans who swore that "If Trump gets elected I will leave the country and move to Canada."
Does Canada really need or want this bunch of whiners ?
And, if they dislike the current or the next Prime Minister of Canada, where will they move to then ? To Mexico?
It is said that the man grows with the job.
Let's hope that Donald Trump will experience such growth.
