Two of my roommates are Republicans, and two of us are Democrats. We all sat and watched the election together, and no one was mean or obnoxiously overjoyed. We discussed what was happening, cracked jokes about the people at the convention parties, and shared our days.
It was civil, and it was wonderful.
We aren't perfect, though. We ended the night reading ridiculously overdramatic Facebook posts and dying of laughter, because the alternative was dying of sadness.
Nope, that's too discouraging. My point it, I like living in a bi-partisan house that's governed by a spirit of respect and grace.
