The aftermath of this current election

New day has come after the election which means newly elected officials will be proclaim in just a few more days. That is the good thing about this automated process since the canvassing wouldn't take that long unlike with the manual process we have to wait for days before they can proclaim the winners. I had mentioned yesterday that I am anticipating this election to happen so that the heated arguments, toxicity, and bashing would stop right away since the election is done. In the past election the candidates who didn't make it usually conceded, accepted defeat and congratulated the winners gracefully. It should always be like that since it is expected, there will always be a winner and a loser, the best thing a loser must do is to give way to the majority choice and let him/her do the responsibility for the country.

However that wasn't the case in today's recent national election. As I was browsing my fb account this morning I still see some posts that expresses bitterness. I rarely browse my fb timeline for the past months due to the toxicity I have seen brought by this election. Suddenly everyone are political experts just to promote their chosen candidates. They became extremely fanatic of their candidates that whoever disagrees with their choice, they started to cancel that person or worst unfriended them.

Cancelled culture. There has been so many friendship that has been ruined and worst even the relationship between the family were broken. Just like the case between my oldest brother in law's wife who unfriended us for no reason. I guess it has something to do with our political side that is different from her. In my opinion it was much better, than seeing her post regarding all her rants with the current administration. Well she is a UP alumni and we all know most of their graduates are so much against the Duterte administration. She think highly of herself to be honest even before, so I think it was better for her to unfriend us so that we are free from seeing her irrelevant rants against the government. Aside from that, she has also been actively promoting her chosen candidate and well at the same time argue with those people who are against her. I know it was her right to do that, but to tell someone that your chosen candidate is not good and you should research more is so disgusting. My youngest brother in law is supporting another candidate and her having a superiority complex once commented on my brother in law posts along with some of our relative who are against it too even though my brother in law is on his right age, and can already decide on his own. They thought that he was still the 17 year old boy that whatever they ask him to do, he will follow without asking anything.

Toxicity as its finest. I thought this morning since the election is done, we will go back to the day where only good vibes were in my timeline. Unfortunately it is not. Actually it was more the loser side that were spreading toxicity even though the majority have already spoken. They were being pathetic to be honest telling how disappointed they were at the results and even to the extent of questioning of the recent results. Why can't they accept the fact that their candidates lost instead they were posting like "our country is doomed" and that they were migrating to other country because they can't accept the election results. I know they are still in denial stage and it will take few more steps before they can accept it.

Sportsmanship is gone. In every election expect it that there will be only one winner except if you are running in Senate that requires 12 winners, but as we all know we only needed one winner for the highest position in the country. Last night, it was already crystal clear who will win the race for the presidency so I am hoping that supporters of other team should concede as a sign of sportmanship. But what happened? This afternoon those supporters went out to the Comelec Headquarters and protest as to what they claimed there has been some discrepancy and anomaly in the recent elections. What happened to this younger generations? Is sportmanship really gone? The surveys have been feeding everyone of us for the past months of who is leading yet you don't want to acknowledge it even though it was proven and tested for the past elections because of its accurately scientific methodology. Well, I hope in the next days coming there will be clear result in this election and may everyone acknowledge the decision of the majority. Let us all unite for a better country.
