Trump win sparks protests, concerns for the future – The GW Hatchet The Hatchet spoke separately with 24 student groups last week about their initial reactions to the election and what they plan to do next.

Donald Trump is the President Elect of The United States. For many this was not the desired result, for others, precisely the desired result. Regardless of which side you fall on, the electoral college has spoken forcefully, and democratically. Nonetheless, the struggle continues in fighting for reasonable campaign finance reform and GWU Democracy Matters will continue that fight. And, in the words of President Obama, "Don't get cynical".

The foundation of a government for, by, and of the people necessitates a level of trust and accountability in the electoral process in order to ensure that the will of the people is heard, however disagreeable that may be. It is incumbent upon each generation to accept and renew this basic premise of American democracy and continue the great tradition, inaugurated by this country, of a peaceful transference of power because not only does this election matter, but democracy matters as well.
