That was the headline on the Babylon Bee article from which the above illustration is also taken. It made me laugh this morning. It also made me think.
Four years ago, ordinarily sane, sober, well-educated FWIW readers were quite literally losing their -- well, they were reacting illogically and emotionally to a national election result they found hard to believe. They were shooting off fiery, defiant Tweets with the #Resist hashtag, or #NotMyPresident. They imagined vast foreign conspiracies undermining our electoral processes. Four years later... with an Electoral College count they find more palatable, these same people heap abuse and scorn on the Trumpers who are having trouble accepting this year's election results. And they do not remember their own bad example from four years ago. Memory is a funny thing, isn't it?
