Walking around Loudoun County the past two days I have been looking and looking for someone to high-five about our soon-to-be new president. Haven’t found anyone yet. Also, according to my Facebook newsfeed not a single person voted for the man. And per the mainstream media it’s been nothing but protests (protesting what exactly?) and disillusionment.

For a time on Tuesday evening it seemed my home county would blow the election for Mr. Trump. Virginia was beet red until votes from the northern counties started coming in, turning the state to Mrs. Clinton. Yup. That embarrassing splotch of blue at the top is where I live.

Thank God there are real people who live out in the rest of the country. Someday I’ll go and give ’em a high-five.
