Running for Your Life: Resistance Obsession

Correct me if I’m wrong but ..

By virtue of an election that was not deemed illegal or even improper by the standards of international oversight protocols, we Americans chose one major presidential candidate over another one.

The next thing you know millions po’ed by the result dictated by the law of the land, the Electoral College, adopted the stance, “Not My President,” and yielding to the false notion that after the free and fair election (The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!) those NMP folks now likened themselves as cool kids a la Vichy France resistance fighters with the moral chops to delegitimize the democratic process.

Meanwhile, HRC (remember her?) retreats to read proof pages of a “I shoulda, coulda” memoir while also gripping and grinning her way to cameo TV spots in LaLa Land. Grammys … and yes, the Oscars …

Next, the election winner attacks the resistance as illegitimate because, well, he won the Electoral College, 304-227. Given the small margin of victory in many swing states, the race was closer than that seems. 

Super Bowl LII was close too. But the Patriots didn’t join the resistance, claim they are the rightful choice, and snipe at the Eagles from on high.

And … one can wager that we won’t have to put up seeing Tom Brady (or his clueless wife) in public again until at least next season. 

Don't get me wrong. Be politically active, march for what you believe it. But when it comes to the current state of the presidential order, don't call it the resistance.
