It was November 8, 2016.
Pundits proclaimed with certitude that Hillary Clinton was about to become the first female president. Hillary herself was quite certain. On her birthday, a fortnight before Election Day, her official Twitter account proclaimed, “Happy birthday to this future president!”
The media never took Donald Trump seriously during the initial phases of the primaries. But when it was clear that he would clinch the nomination, they launched a campaign to destroy Trump’s candidacy and legacy.
Election Day began with gleeful smiles but ended with frowns and tears. Trump astonished everyone with a stunning and emphatic triumph, and not just against Hillary.
How did the Democrats react?
Hillary didn’t address her distraught supporters on the night of her defeat, but she did formally concede a day later.
A day after the election, Obama pledged a successful transition, adding that a peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of American democracy. Obama also said he and everyone else were rooting for Trump’s success in uniting and leading the country.
But gradually, things began to get ugly.
On Trump’s inauguration day, left-wing rioters destroyed property across Washington, and “pussy hat”–wearing women engaged in “protests” while inciting violence.
Watching the meltdowns in ’16 as well as earlier this month was quite a joyful experience!
Granted, the most recent meltdowns could not have happened without the ’20 steal and the corrupt Biden-Harris administration. Hopefully, the nation will be transformed for a loooong while!
Dems are very sore losers.
When Democrats lose, they whine, bitch and complain and always threaten to leave the U.S. but never do.
When Republicans lose, we pick up the pieces, adjust to our new surroundings, and go on with life.
