This long and exhausting election cycle in the U.S. has come to an end, and now we have a new president-elect. The unexpected result has shocked the entire world (except perhaps Michael Moore), and given how little we know about what policies the new administration will implement and how will they do it we have nothing more to do than wait and hope that the extremist talk dies with the campaign.

What this election really showed is that the U.S. is an increasingly divided country. Both sides need to burst the bubbles we live in and start engaging more with people who think differently, and understand their fears and hopes. The time has come to build bridges, not walls.
