Every four
years, a large group of people basically go into a state of mourning. And there is no way to be
consoling. After each election year, the best thing supporters of the
not-elected candidates can do is be happy for the ones whose candidate did win
and then pray that: 1) the next four years go by quickly, or 2) the upcoming
four years prove to be actually pretty good. The elected candidate's supporters
(I won't even say "followers" this go around since a good number who
voted for Trump do not like the man personally) are not going to feel guilty,
and the non-elected candidate's supporters are not going to jump for joy. So
why do we keep wanting that from each other? Wasted personal energy -- mentally
and emotionally. In my opinion, neither candidate is worth me being upset. Nope
-- neither one.
