America’s 2024 election marks a turning point in our national conversation, one that many saw coming but few expected would play out as it has. In the election of the 47th president, Donald Trump, Americans delivered a message of frustration with what many feel is an overly sensitive culture around free expression, speech, and identity. Across youth demographics and communities of color, a significant shift showed up in support—one that surprised even those who had anticipated this election’s unique dynamics.

For those who supported the other side, these feelings and concerns are deeply valid. But this election demonstrates that pushing the pendulum too far toward cultural sensitivity without balance has stirred a backlash. Now, it’s time to give this administration a chance, trusting it to demonstrate care for issues like women’s rights and the rights of people of color, showing that these remain core to America’s values. However, moving forward also requires that Americans avoid severing connections over political disagreements; our nation has to heal, and it’s critical to bridge our divisions if we are to progress together.
