I will be so happy when the elections are over.

“Hopefully things will return to normal after a week or two of people celebrating or mourning their side's candidate, amendment, and proposition wins and losses. Somehow politics brings out a side of many people that I would prefer not to see, whether they share the same views as me or not.”
