As a former patient of a couple of psych ward visits I could be offended by the stupidity of this in the overall context of things but it's not worth it. People who are so anguished by the win are putting way too much stock in others to make their lives have meaning.

 

There are folks here in NC who are reacting quite oddly to the fact that our governor has finally been decided and it's a democrat. I mean, it happens. Do I like the guy who is going to take over? Not particularly and not because he's a democrat, he's a shady character. Besides, I voted for the Libertarian candidate. I'm not going to have a meltdown because someone who I don't like is in office. It's all temporary anyway. In another 4 years there will be another election, in the meantime I just hope the ones in office now don't screw things up too badly for the cities, states, and country.
