They express gratitude for various positive outcomes of the recent elections, \u2064suggesting \u200bthat the republic prevailed this time, despite ongoing threats to its values. <\/p>\n<p>The author lists several reasons to be thankful post-election, including the \u2064return of competent leadership, the end\u200d of repetitive and disingenuous political messaging, and a perceived reduction in certain controversial figures and topics in political \u200dprocesses. They assert that the absence of contentious personalities and awkward political narratives is a blessing. <\/p>\n<p>the piece emphasizes a sense of relief and optimism for the future, highlighting the importance of gratitude and vigilance in protecting the republic&#8217;s values and integrity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>We just survived a very long election year.
