Public Insight Journalism shared this question:

MPR News wants to know what you're going to take away from the campaigns and election this year. What stories or memories will you share with your kids, or their kids? What made you laugh or cry or grit your teeth? What lessons did you learn?

That final question sticks with me, and I'm looking forward to discovering what people learned about politics, society, and maybe even themselves during this election.
