I’ll do the same as Republicans, who accepted that McCain lost and Barack Obama was elected fairly. He was our leader and we should all have supported him.
That sound good? No? I seem to recall a Republican Congress in 2010 vowing to obstruct Obama at every turn, to not give him an inch. What’s so unfair about Democrats doing the same with Trump? Good for the goose and all that. “Oh!” you say, “So you’re saying that you’re going to do wrong just because the Republicans did wrong, is that it?” Perhaps…only if you admit that the Republicans were wrong.
Trump is our leader. I shall pray for him but watch him like a snake. He did not suddenly “change his spots” on November 9th, and please at least acknowledge that most people did NOT vote for him. So he has no “mandate”, no great call from the people. He lucked out by us having an electoral college, antiquated as it may be. Even Trump has called the Electoral College a “disaster for democracy.” Log In - New York Times (of course, now that it has worked in his favor, he calls it “genius).
And I ask you, are you asking us to support his policies? The very things (such as we could decipher them) we voted against him for? Or should we now accept his character, as if he has become a new person since Election Day? As far as I know, he’s still the same lying, petulant, man-child he was before. Until he gives me reason to feel differently, I will continue to be saddened by his election.
