I’m curious, what exactly makes you think you are superior to everyone else in this world. You were out voted yet all I see from you guys is that everyone else is an “idiot”, “dumbest country in the world” and so on.
70% of American didn’t like the direction the country was going in. We had Trump in office 4 years ago so Americans can in fact compare the past two presidents/vice presidents. Clearly people were in fact better off under Trump.
You refuse to see it and think Americans are stupid even though it’s not a rash decisions like we think we will be better off under Trump.
What makes it even more confusing is you can’t support someone’s political decisions but you can easily get behind something thinking they are a sex different than what they are born. Science says they are what they were born. Yet you say non democrats refuse to believe science.
I just don’t get how you think you are ever so important and special.
Look, people are inherently passionate about their beliefs (if you don't believe me, tell someone their baby is ugly). That's normal, and the 'dumb' response is a pretty normal default response for all of us when we don't come out on the winning side of an argument. So I don't get too worked up by that, particularly in the days immediately after an election in which the winning candidate is pretty undeniably flawed.
I suppose there are some people who I think "ought" to be better -- take a look at the piece in today's WSJ sampling reactions from 'respected' columnists, which not only blame the stupid and lazily invoke the usual tropes, but in one case suggest that the real solution here is for the left to come up with a leftist strongman. (Watch out gavin newsome, Lenny Krasner said '**** around and find out' the other day in a presser. He sounds like he might be a real philly tough guy!) I wonder if there's any sense of irony among them that they are "journalists" yet live in a jurisdiction/echo chamber where (quite literally) 94% of the population voted for the same candidate.
Beyond that, I'd certainly "hope" that every elected president, given their election, gets at least 'some' chance to govern, even if it's a very short one, before the 'loyal opposition' converts into 'the resistance'. Even Trump, who i don't really think got much of a chance his first time around.
But where i really draw the line is the inability of some people to eventually take a deep breath and stop with the whole "othering" exercise when it comes to social relationships and human interaction. For example, after yesterday's harris event, some 80 year old lady was quoted as how she felt like she needed to really reassess her 'circle' to make sure that her acquaintances didn't do the 'wrong' thing. Vance referenced the phenomenon the other day in his response to my niece's question, and I've certainly seen it with people i know personally. Honestly, if you're really and truly in that camp (which thankfully most probably aren't), good riddance. You're probably in the wrong place. Perhaps less dramatically, here in my new home (which went a little north of 60% Harris), i have been shocked by the fact that on not one, but several, occasions, people I'm having a perfectly amicable chat with on some mundane topic will eventually say or ask something like "I hope you won't be offended if I told you I was a trump supporter." No, I wouldn't, any more than if you told me you were a harris supporter, because these are precisely the kinds of conversations we need to have with each other. But there are those who would, and more importantly, who would have no further normal human interactions with that person. Candidly, in my admittedly limited experience, those people seem to be more common on the left side of the spectrum.
