Donald Trump won the election in a convincing manner about two weeks ago and our democracy is still intact. People did not riot and loot stores.

Even though the majority of Americans chose to elect Trump, incumbent Democrats have embraced the position that they will oppose everything that he proposes. And that is sad because the people have spoken against the Biden agenda that has not worked and needs to be amended. I suppose that Democrats’ Trump hatred precludes acknowledgment that Americans want something different. They would rather double down on bad policies than listen and accept their new reality. Maybe they want to alienate their Democrat voters who want sound economic policies, public safety and energy independence.

The next election will judge the current Democrat behavior. It may not be a good outcome.
