Among my own family members, I'm seeing seething Democrat anger over the election; a continuation of the anger they expressed (and probably felt) for the past 4 years.
I've never seen the same from the Republican family members when their side lost. I mean, won. Or whatever. You know what I mean.
I realize the Democrats may be extra angry because they believe the Republicans are trying to steal the election. But the Republicans believe the election was stolen through fraud and they aren't acting angry about the results-- even as they try to expose the fraud in a way that makes a difference.
Also, while the Republicans in the family don't generally obsess over politics and don't try to make everything political (or even bring up politics very often), the same can't be said for the Democrats. If they get a splinter, it's Trump's fault somehow, and by extension, the fault of all Republicans. And they feel the need to say so, no matter how off-topic it seems to be. "Republican" is basically a stand-in for "demon".
Don't misunderstand, I love the people on both sides. But the more they focus on politics, the dumber they look. Politics makes people stupid.

I hope I add something you find valuable enough to support.
You must be much younger than I thought you were. Back in my day (the Clinton and Obama administrations), Republicans were very, very angry.
ReplyDeleteNot in my family or sphere. They didn't like them, but they weren't angry-- not even a little. I'm sure other people knew some who were, though.
