I get that Trump's supporters are people we disagree with on almost every level and the last four years with him as president have been painful to say the least but it's also an opportunity for us to turn the page.
When I think back to Obama and how much so many of us in the country loved him, if he had lost after his first term it would've been a serious blow for many and to have those who opposed him pouring salt into the wounds would've made it so much harder. What separates us from Trumpism is empathy, IMO lacking it is one of their worst attributes.
We are better than that and as a result can rise above the gutter tactics. I would love to go back through every PRSI thread where the said "Trump landslide!!" and rub it in their faces, the temptation is palpable but have made a personal decision to just let that go. Their guy lost and it sucks but more than 70 million Americans still voted for him and if we really want to end the division it seems like we should try to look for areas where we agree to really move forward.
Just my .02
