Under the democratic principles of this country, the winners of the election govern according to their vision while respecting the rights of the opposition.    Losing candidates and their supporters are not jailed, they just pick up the pieces of their failed dreams and move on. 
 
But some just can't move on. They're bitter, angry.  As kids we called them sore losers; the ones who ranted and cried at best, who destroyed property and people at worst.  Some of these sore losers have grown up to be...well,  wealthy liberals.  You know, the ones who preach tolerance and open mindedness, respect for all beliefs——as long as those beliefs agree with theirs.
 
Worried  that their hated candidate will win once again they talk of coping, of leaving this country——the kind of talk that most conservatives, with their respect for this country's freedoms, can't comprehend.
 
Promises, promises.  But alas, their talk is like their heads, full of hot air. 
 
To them I reply, "So go already."
