The note, found online and shared by Berlanti was written by a father to his son, Jack:
Dear Jack,
Trump won. Don’t panic. The world won’t end. The country won’t fall apart.
We’re just underdogs now, caring about women, minorities, democracy and truth.You’re going to have a job now: Be extra moral. Rebel against meanness. Be kind. Heal things. Inspire people with optimism.
Most of all, LOVE.
-Dad
Berlanti also added his own words in the caption:
We are all blessed to live in a beautiful country that many people have had to fight and die for to make more perfect.
No matter how upset you may be today, or elated: Never stop fighting and always stay hopeful.Â
