Donald Trump Has Broke The Interwebs Today

The barrage of insults, barbs, innuendo and snark has been nearly unbearable over the past few months.  Aimed at me, aimed at Karen and I, or aimed at the general "Trump voters", I saw them.  I may not always acknowledge them, but yeah, I saw them.  Today, those same individuals who were proclaiming a war on behalf of the common good and history are crying in their beer.  Today those same folks are asking that the victors be humble and forgiving of past trespasses.  

I seem to recall in 2008, a day or so after Barack Obama was first elected, responding to a reporter's question with "I won."  I recall Valeri Jarrett's threats that they were "watching" their opposition and would "deal with them" after the 2012 elections.  I also recall being labeled a "tea-bagger", a "standard redneck", a "deplorable" and other things to numerous to list here.  You realize that both "standard redneck" and "deplorable" both came out of the mouth of Hillary Rodham Clinton and the term "tea-bagger" was first coined as a nick-name for conservative Tea Party members by CNN's own homosexual anchor-person Anderson Cooper, who fully realized the implications when he used the slur.

So today, something closer to the values I believe in is coming into power and after 8 years of abuse, I need to be kinder and gentler to those who believe differently than I do?  Yeah, I need to bite my tongue and NOT inflict a little pain to the same folk that have tried to torment me with threats of "racism" and whatever the catchphrase of the week was at the time.  I need to remember that in most cases, I don't really know the persons who belittled me in the past, and I don't know the pain they've been through or are currently going through.

Sorry, that's not how I roll.

Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.  So simple.  So true.  So foreign to youth today.  Wonder why?
