Why Must We Feel THeir Pain?

We've had 4 years of that and, their grievance. So what if they got a lot of votes, we got more which means we won. I want to be happy and celebrate for more than 1 day. Yet, they expect us join in their sorrow. I'm having none of that. I don't care if he and they feel bad/sad. I've already had big a helping of that and I don't want another, nor do I want yet one more damn person to tell me I should give them time to accept their loss. I have no time to give and I don't want to meet any racist halfway. THey need to get over themselves.

1. I saw an editorial by Penn Jillette (comedian) which said we have to "love the Trump voter".

Ho...kay. Why not tell the Trump voter to love US????

Because he knows the Trump voters don't even love their families anymore-- they only love Trump.

People who want to hurt others aren't. Just the way it is. Arianna Huffington was on Ari basically saying the same.

I wanted the other guy fired and I wanted Joe hired and for me the job description is now very simple. I need Joe to love all the Trump supporters. I don't care if Joe raises taxes. I don't care if Joe helps add stupid, counterproductive regulations. I don't care about anything except love and kindness.

They didn't have any regard for our feelings, nor did I expect them to. As you said, they need to get over themselves.

7. I have no fucks to give for trump supporters. President Biden is a bigger person than I am.

I am OK with that. That's his job. To be president of all Americans.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. These folks have shown exactly who they are. They have supported a racist, misogynist, bigoted, corrupt, incompetent, unpatriotic asshole twice, in astounding numbers. I have no sympathy or pity for them. If they had their way, I would not exist. If they had their way, my rights would be taken from me so they could continue grab for power. If trump had won, they would have been acting a damn fool. Nope, no fucks to give. President Biden will work hard for us and them. He has a job to do. I don't have to extend any courtesies to these folks.

whether or not they like it. there's no turning back as the moral arm of the universe is bending. THis country has lived under the thumb of their dominion since its beginning and suffered. THere's a reckoning coming and this election was that proverbial canary in the coal mine. I forget the actual numbers I saw the other day, but their share of the electorate has been dipping downward with each ensuing election.
