We are known as the United States of America but following Tuesday’s stunning election, “united” isn’t exactly the first word that comes to mind. As a nation right now, we couldn’t be more divided.

When President-elect Donald Trump took the stage following a concession and congratulatory phone call from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, his message was one of unity.

“Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division; have to get together,” he said. “To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It’s time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people … I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.”

The message was appropriate and sorely needed. Unfortunately, for millions of Americans, it may have fallen on deaf ears.

As Trump was delivering his speech, asking for unity, a man yelled “Kill Obama” from the crowd — hardly the actions of someone preparing to offer the hand of friendship to his Democrat countrymen and women.

It’s not just Republicans who having a hard time accepting that the race is over, the hashtag #NotMyPresident has already gone viral with millions of re-postings on social media websites from voters angry about the Trump victory and to be honest, Secretary Clinton putting off her concession speech until the morning struck many as the actions of a sore loser.

No matter how you look at it, we have a long way to go …

As the numbers rolled in and state after state turned red on the big electoral maps, people began to rejoice or panic, depending on which side you were on. Trump supporters had earned a major — the highest — victory and celebrated accordingly.

Voters who had cast their ballots for Clinton, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson or (in the words of many) “anybody but Trump” were so appalled they actually crashed the Canadian immigration website just after 8 p.m.

But here’s the thing: Like it or not, it’s done. It’s over. Come Jan. 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as our next president — and that’s all there is to it.

Democrats and Independents, it’s time to stop whining. You lost. Move on and do something constructive with your time. Republicans? It’s time to stop gloating — you have a lot of work ahead of you and angry, jilted voters are going to fight you every step of the way.

Right now roughly half the country hates the other half and any nation so divided can not hope to accomplish anything worthwhile.

Love it or hate it, this is the hand we’ve been dealt and for better or worse, we dealt it ourselves. So go all in America, we’ve already bet the House. And the Senate. And the presidency.

There’s no folding now.
