From the most recent email for President Clements. Might we try applying this here on the West Zone? The bolding of the last two sentences is mine.
"This has been an extraordinary week for our nation. While watching our electoral process play out for all the world to see, I find myself thankful for the rights we all have as citizens of this great country. To our students who voted, many for the first time, I applaud you for making your voices heard.
Inevitably, some will be delighted with the results while others will be disappointed. That diversity of thought and opinion is good and necessary. The success of our work as a university depends, to a large degree, on informed and civil debate among a community that represents a wide range of viewpoints and experiences.
In my message last week, I shared the view that what unites us as a nation is greater than what divides us. That is especially true within the Clemson Family. Our university has, for more than 131 years, stood as an embodiment of Thomas Green Clemson’s vision for a “high seminary of learning” in service to our students, state and nation.
As we reflect on this week and what lies ahead, I want to encourage all members of the Clemson Family to look for ways to bridge any gaps among those around you and to not lose sight of our core values of honesty, integrity and respect. We’re not always going to agree with one another, but we can, and should, always strive to share our views in a civil manner that respects the views of others. I urge everyone to extend to one another an extra measure of grace and be willing to accept the same in return."
We, as a country, are greater than any one president and any one election. It’s about the people - not a person. A President, above all, needs to understand that. The next few weeks will be rough, but our democratic system will hold strong and prevail.
If I had one wish it would be for all to abstain from social media. Especially now. Spend that time being a good neighbor, a good spouse, and a good parent. So much of the discourse isn’t even real - it’s happening online. Face to face I think most want to see the best in people.
That’s divisiveThat's how a real President and leader acts.
There is a reason we hear this rhetoric now. There is one single unavoidable reason. The left could not accept losing and having someone in office that couldn’t be bought and controlled.It is truly a shame that we didn't hear this same rhetoric 4 years ago after that election. While it all sounds good now, you better believe the past 4 years will not be forgotten.
Agree... our democracy is under attack though and it’s happening right under our nose. The media is supposed to search for truth and report, investigative if need be, but they have been bought and the democratic process has been bought as well. I stay away from social media personally but it doesn’t take a sleuth to see how this is going down.We, as a country, are greater than any one president and any one election. It’s about the people - not a person. A President, above all, needs to understand that. The next few weeks will be rough, but our democratic system will hold strong and prevail.

Very true in what he stated, and it is going to take a lot of that for this country to mend.
I fully expect Biden to win, but he will be loved by the media from day one. I'm not going to pretend Trump wasn't his own worst enemy at times, but I have never seen a Presidency where the President was attacked everyday in office.
Also, I find it very difficult to believe that such a large percentage of mail in balloting favors one particluar political party. I'm not enough of historian to know if anything like that has ever been close to being that one sided before. I just cant see how the overall vote is 51 to 47%, but mail in balloting is closer to 70/30. It really concerns me going forward on our election process.
And.. like clockwork you get a post sent to the roundtable..
It was in the RT long before I posted!!!! Like clockwork you’re an asshole. AGAIN!
Why didnt he say this crap when BLM was burning stuff down and called it peaceful protest????
