Notice how we aren't hearing any claims of cheating or challenging the legitimacy of the election? It's noteworthy to look at some of the differences between the last few elections.
When Trump lost he called the Dems cheaters, claimed he won and the election was rigged. He refused to concede and respect the democratic process. It led to a riot at the capital that tried to stop the certification of the election.
Look at how the Dems are reacting to this election. They are reflecting on what they got wrong, trying to understand what happened and how they can adjust. There is plenty of crumbs to go after the "Cheating" narrative if they want. One of Trumps key "rigged" claims in 2020 had to do with Social Media companies working with the gov to give favor to the Dems. Well Trump had Elon the owner of X "Twitter" giving out a million dollars a day for people to register to vote and then he followed up by flooding his platform with MAGA talking points. This is something the Dems could focus on to claim an unfair advantage but it is nowhere near the top of the headlines.
Last points, I think the Dems do need to chill out now and give Trump a chance. He won by a substantial amount of votes and our democracy has handed him mandate to pursue his agenda. Not to say Dems need to agree with everything, debate and negotiation is necessary, but do so in good faith and not overpoliticized obstruction which has become the norm in Washington.
For the Republicans, a little humility would be helpful. Imagine for a second that Trump was a Dem pushing a leftist agenda. Using his same dishonest, bully tactics. You all would be losing your minds and the words dictator and commies would be in every talking point. Y'all need to mellow out as well and guide Trump in a better direction instead of enabling every ugly impulse to crush political enemies. We are one country in this together. Let's start acting like it.
