The country is divided between sore losers and sore winners. Losers of a competition experience a wide array of emotions: distraught, depressed, angry, resentful, sad, anxious, like a failure, frustrated, inadequate, cheated, or sometimes, even satisfied and successful. When the loss is to a "sore winner" some of the losers feelings are elevated.
There is too much at stake for our Nation, and even the world. We must find a way to reconcile our differences. But how? Ultimately, there will be a rematch, but that is not a solution. It is simply a chance to even the score, and seek revenge.
I do not believe the answer is by present means the losers are using either. The winner deserves respect for their accomplishment. The loser must find the character to acknowledge the Victor. Taunting and discrediting the Victor, especially a sore winner, only brings out the worst in everyone. That's where we are today with politics -- both parties are so out to win.
From the very start of the Republican's presidential campaign he hit the nail on the head with his three slogans: "Make America Great" and "America is going to start winning again," and "America First." And ever since, the Democrats have been running against THAT MESSAGE! Don't you see the problem? (And they call him an stupid. Stupid like a FOX he is!)
While the Republicans are focused on "America Winning," on the road to future political victories, the Democrats want the Victor's policies to fail, to help justify their future victory. Metaphorically speaking, the sore loser is smashing the game pieces. But those game pieces are things that are valuable to ALL Americans. Do the math and you must be able to see how that works against the Democrats! It's the same equation that cost Democrats the Presidency.
It seems me that the answer is the losers need new coaching. They need new leadership. They need a new attitude. If the Democrats want to win, they have to get in the game. And they have to realize that the competition is not the Republicans after all. The "enemy" is the problems we have in America.
The Republicans are winning everywhere you look because they are in the game. And they have identified the enemies to America's success, and whether you like their solutions or not, they are at least out to win for OUR country. Until the Democrats recognize this, they will continue to be the losers. AS it stands today, many Democrats won't even acknowledge they have a President. And so, Republicans will keep winning.
