So that’s it. Donald Trump won the Electoral College, yet Hilary Clinton won the popular vote and still lost. Well, for the fellow millennia’s that are feeling hopeless, confused, and unsure of how our bright future filled with desire and motivation to change our country for the better, may have just been swiped out from underneath us… here are some quotes from some pretty inspiring people. Hopefully they will restore some hope and trust within you :)
Here is a positive quote for every negative feeling targeted at the fact that Donald Trump is our new president for the next 4 years:
