Who’s crying now?

Last week I tore a Trump bumper sticker off a fleet car that I had picked up for work. The bumper sticker read: “Trump 2020 — make liberals cry again!” (The paper’s editorial board endorsed him for president.)

I thus note, with some irony, just how many people are crying now that he lost that election — and I don’t feel sorry for them. Not one bit. Not only are they crying but they’re also raging, many making the baseless (as it turns out) charge that the election was “stolen,” echoing their fearful leader.

Because if your only or primary purpose in engaging in an election is to humiliate your opponents, you have no business being in power. Folks understand that, which is why he engendered so much hatred — enough to cause those hated liberals to organize against him, beginning in 2018.

And this is what Trump supporters simply don’t care to understand, which is why they’re complaining, essentially, “We wuz robbed!” No, they weren’t. They tend not to talk or listen to anyone else and thus have no idea how much his policies, let alone his attitude, hurt others.

Some people are saying that Trump critics should reconcile with Trump supporters so that we can have a “United States of America” again. I don’t favor that because we’re still dealing with sore losers who see anyone who disagrees with them as an enemy — which is why we’re in this pickle to begin with. Many of these same folks made largely baseless claims about Bill Clinton, wanting him taken out for far less than Trump has admitted to, and hating Barack Obama without cause.

Should the legal challenges to the election stand, and I expect them to, and Joe Biden becomes president in January Trump and his supporters will still be crying. Frankly, they brought that upon themselves; as Jesus Himself said, “The measure you give will be the measure you get back” (Luke 6:38).
