Someone I know not a close friend asked me on election day who I was voting for . My gut reaction was offense that he even needed to ask . I felt like he was questioning what kind of person I am . And I realized how crazy that was , on my part . It makes no sense objectively and it wouldn ' t have made sense in any other election year . Your political beliefs shouldn ' t define who you are , and they probably shouldn ' t ever be easy to guess . I don ' t believe both sides are equivalent , but I do think a lot of people on both sides are feeling that this election was primarily about people ' s morality which isn ' t even fair , because both of the candidates we had are terrible people , in many ways . I mean , I really do see that as a fact , something that has been thoroughly documented . But unless we all stop seeing people who voted differently than us as actual representatives of evil , I don ' t see the divisions between us ending .
