One of the interesting things about being old is, every time you think you've seen it all, you find out that you ain't seen nothing yet. "Too close to call" they said. "Razor thin margin" they said. Experts! What do they know? You know what I think? I'll tell you what I think. I think I should have voted for him. You know why I think that? I voted against him in 2016, and he won. I voted for him in 2020, and he lost. I, therefore, have no reason to doubt that he would have lost this time if I had voted for him. My vote is the kiss of death for presidential candidates. It's the only explanation that makes sense. Okay, I did vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984, but that's just the exception that proves the rule.
Well, the people have spoken, and it's all over now but the shouting. So be it. I think one of my old paper mill colleagues said it best back in 1972: "The trouble with majority rule is that the majority is stupid."
I am adding this to yesterday's post because I thought it would be of interest.
