Dear "Those who are protesting in the streets because Trump won",
I know that if Hillary had won, and Trump's supporters protested in the streets, that you'd be writing all kinds of posts, blogs and articles about what poor losers they were, and how we all should always accept the outcomes of elections so as to support democracy!
I know that you would cite not only "democracy", but America, civility, apple pie, and probably all of our dear old moms while doing so.
I know this because before the election, when you thought your gal would win, you were already castigating the Trump fans over Donald not committing to whether he'd accept the election results.
I remember that you thought that was pretty bad of him.
Well, guess what? I don't like Trump either, but he did win, and you look like a bunch of fools to protest it in the streets and not accept the results and to go on and on about ways to overturn it.
Whenever you catch yourself doing something that you - and everyone - knows you'd condemn in another, it's time to stop. Pause. Reflect.
And then move on with your life. He was elected President, not God, I'm pretty sure you'll live. I'm pretty sure we'll live. If the Republic truly rose or fell based upon one man, then we deserve to fall anyway!
Move on! Few of us like the guy, but I guarantee that we'll each be putting on our jeans one leg at a time as usual. We'll pet our dogs or cats, we'll drive our kids to school, we'll go to work for our idiot bosses, we'll go to the gym, the PTA, church, etc.
Marathon watching a Netflix Original Series with your honey will still be a thing!
Life will continue. The sun will still shine.
Sincerely,
Libertarians, Greens, Independents, Anarchists, Socialists, and everyone else who loses every four years but still manages to live happy and productive lives
