TRENDING

 

After months of campaigning, the results are finally in. At around 2:30 a.m. this morning, Donald Trump was officially announced the next president-elect of the United States. Accepting the outcome of such a major election can be emotional, especially if your candidate of choice lost. But regardless of who you were rooting for or which side you were on, it's time to move forward as a country and turn our focus onto how we can come together to, as Mr. Trump would say, make America great again. 

In his speech last night, our future president said, "To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It’s time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans." And we agree.

 

Some of our fave celebs have taken to Twitter to lift everyone's spirits this morning as we process the results of last night. While their words may be different, the message is the same: White or black, Republican or Democrat, male or female...we are all Americans at heart and this is our country to love and fight for. We have to stand together in order to change the culture and society we live in. Check out some of the inspiring tweets below: 

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?

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.

I can only hope that we can heal the cancer of hatred that has been exposed. It was here the whole time. Let the work begin. Choose love. 💙

We all must look forward with great optimism; and, regardless of the fear we feel, with unstoppable love.

Deep breaths. You're not alone. There are many, many people on your side. The battle's only over when you stop fighting. xoxox

Do not sit still. Do not weep. MOVE. We are not a nation that will let HATE lead us.

We even love these tweets from the candidates themselves...

"To all the little girls watching...never doubt that you are valuable and powerful & deserving of every chance & opportunity in the world."

Such a beautiful and important evening! The forgotten man and woman will never be forgotten again. We will all come together as never before
