I have my own version:

Dear Democrats, you lost because you pretty well suck.

Dear Republicans, you won because the Democrats suck and the people decided this time that you suck a bit less. However, you're going to believe that the people have declared you wonderful and given you some sort of mandate, and you will screw it up royally, and in 2026 and 2028 you will lose because you will become arrogant and begin to suck worse than the Demcats.

Dear Democrats again, take heart, in two years you'll be back on top. Four years tops. Unless you do something REALLY, REALLY like unbelievably stupid in the meantime....so it's like 50/50.

I find this to be spot on!! I am also not ruling out that they might do something unbelievably stupid.

I gotta stop for gas on the way home. Can anyone let me know where to get that .99 cent/gallon I've been promised?

Woke is pretty ingrained in the Democrat party leadership to the point where it’s religion… will take years to fix.

I don't agree much with what he says on here, but that post is 100% correct.

I understand, but you don't need to rub their noses in it. Being gracious in victory or defeat doesn't hurt.

He said it because democrats are still pointing fingers at everyone else. It’s because trump voters are racist, misogynist, phobes whatever. Sure, there probably are some trump voters that are, just as there are some horrible people on the left that voted for Harris.

That’s not why Kamala lost. She lost because they don’t understand the reality of the working class, and don’t even try to.

I think there are many valid reasons, some noted above, why the Democrats lost.
They certainly didn't explain the successes of the last 4 years adequately, and didn't even appeal enough to their base to have them turn out in the same numbers as 2020.
I hope the new administration will not do a lot of the rather wild stuff they promise (not vaccine children?) and that we'll have a good 4 years.
At the same time, I believe that highly regarded individuals like Milley, Kelly, McCraven and Mike Pence have cautioned us as to the unfitness of the next president for office. We should heed that caution.

Heres yet another case where you believe the lie. RFK has insisted hes not taking away vaccines, but wants to give people the choice. If people want to choose to be idiots and let their kids get polio, by all means be a moron.

I am very excited by what he wants to do to the nutrition in our food. Its been a long long long time coming. Why do so many people all of a sudden have such stomach issues and gluten allergies? The additives and pure crap in our food should have been addressed a long time ago.

I am all for and welcome common sense change to get rid of food dyes and other additives in our food. Someone else mentioned Trump wanting to set term limits on Congress. They are much needed changes that should have happened a long time ago. I just donÂ’t have any faith that these common sense issues will get resolved. Happy to be proven wrong though by this new administration.
