You know, they would say like, you know, the Pope, they would put up some meme about, you know, the Pope is backing Trump. It wasn't true, but people believed it and they just started to fight over it.

So how, wait, what is it that hasn't been resolved? The asymmetry of American elections, the fact that if one party, the Republican Party, wins the election, the other party goes, okay, you win some, you lose some, and they go home.

It was about people who did not hear their leader say, as every other leader in this country has said after an election, okay, I lost. We welcome the new guy. We had disagreements, but now we're all Americans. When Obama took over, George Bush stood next to him and he said, okay. We want you to succeed because when you succeed, Trump didn't do any of that. Okay. So what? So what?

But a good deal of the country, approaching half, the people who are MAGA, the people who love him, at least a third of the country, will now in the future never accept any electoral results.
