Lin-Manuel Miranda’s tweets are the inspiration we needed today
Leave it to the wonderful Lin-Manuel Miranda to help heal our hearts during a trying time. The Hamilton star created new excitement around American history thanks to his mega-hit Broadway show. So it only seems natural that he would be super invested in current American politics.
The positivity Lin-Manuel Miranda managed to keep throughout the election last night is giving us life.
The performer had been open about his dislike for Donald Trump throughout the campaign, most notably when he hosted Saturday Night Live.
Between maintaining a positive outlook and continuing to keep perspective on the situation, the entertainer was a breath of fresh air throughout the entire night.
As it became more of a reality that Trump could be elected, he began to process the news like so many others.
This year, I'm trying to wrap my head around both outcomes.
Scared as y'all.
But we'll get through it.
Grateful for friends. For you.— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) November 9, 2016
Obviously disappointed by the outcome, he continued to be thoughtful and positive in his tweets to his followers and fans.
Go through all stages tonight.
You are allowed to feel however you like.
Take stock of your heart.
See you tomorrow.
We are all still here.— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) November 9, 2016
He also made it clear that the outcome of the election, though disappointing for him, wouldn’t affect his love for this country or his support for equality.
F*ck that.
I love this country, and there's more work to do than ever.

No. We pick up right where we left off yesterday.
I don't know much, but I know this. https://t.co/4ShsswqvPZ— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) November 9, 2016
And while we love that he kept an optimistic perspective throughout the night, it was his inspiration in the morning that really made us feel grateful for him.
Good morning!
Bahahaha I didn't sleep.
But the sun is up and the world still spins.
Let's go. pic.twitter.com/DOFPZqWIcE— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) November 9, 2016

He even left us with delightful Hamilton news that can make us truly excited about the future.
In other news, people are auditioning for Hamilton in both LA and London RIGHT NOW.
Two new productions within the year.— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) November 9, 2016
Thank you, Lin-Manuel Miranda, for speaking directly to our souls when we need it most.
