So I read these comments in the Wall Street Journal and wanted to repeat them here. I was pretty depressed but David Van Wie's attitude has uplifted me and I believe that I will follow his example. I'm the opposition now.
>>>David Van Wie:
“It’s different now,” he said
You better believe it is. Now, Mr President-elect, you are entrusted with the hopes and dreams of 60 million people who made you president of all 320 million Americans. In spite of everything they knew about your shortcomings and character flaws, they still chose you.
You made many, many extravagant promises, Mr. President-elect. Lots of people were paying attention and now expect that the amazing people you appoint to replace the incompetent idiots there before will stand and deliver for the country. You talked a good game, and now you need to put up your best stuff under a white hot spotlight.
More people voted for your opponent. Remember that when you say, "I won" as if you came into town with the wind at your back instead of through the mysteries of the Electoral College. It ain't bragging if you got it. Do you got it? Time will tell.
The job requires absorbing constant criticism 24 hours a day for 1,500 days in a row, unless you are reelected. Then you can have 1,500 more days of unrelenting criticism. The rap on you is that you can't take criticism at all. Show us what you've really got! Show the world that you are better than your critics think you are.

@David Van Wie
At some point you have got to let it go man... take a deep breath, calm down, and enjoy the ride... ONLY in the western world, you have the fortune of having events like this, change left and right, within seconds, continuously re inventing the world, the peoples, the politics.
This victory, the unlikeliness, the teaching lessons, the change of course, the reversals that yes, will come with this, ALL OF IT, is the marvel that the West offers to its people, eternal, swift and deliberate change.
Or...
find a safe space, with hot chocolate, comfort dogs, full of kleenex for your "cry in", all the while you sooth with Play Doh... Live in fantasy, day dreaming
I suggest you embrace and help everybody plough thru the first choice

No. I'm the opposition. My job is to punch you in the mouth every day for the next 725 days, then kick you in the balls and stomp on your head. Figuratively speaking, of course.
I think I understand the West pretty well. Skip the guided tour of cliches. Go tend your own garden. Your little team of Western philosophers promised the country quite a bit. Get to work.
