"Fellow Americans in the Good Old USA"

 
The election results (total votes cast) for President in 2016 were: Clinton = 66 million
                                                                                                        Trump  = 63 million
                                                                                                        Total     = 129 million

The election results (total votes cast) for President in 2020 were:  Biden   = 78 million
                                                                                                         Trump  = 73 million
                                                                                                         Total     = 151 million

In 2016 Clinton and the Democrats could not believe they had lost in the Electoral College, and at least 40 million people were bitter and full of spite for the next four years.
In 2020 Trump and the Republicans could not believe they had lost in the Electoral College, and it looks like 40 million people will be bitter and full of spite for the next four years.

I have a friend who is a 93 year old retired school teacher, and her comment was: "In my time people voted for Democrat or Republican, any way they chose, and after the election everybody accepted the result and we all were still friends!  Now, I just can't believe how much hatred there is in the country!"

In 1858 Abraham Lincoln said in a famous speech, "A house divided cannot stand!".  It took a Civil War to prove the point.  My friends and fellow country-men, please do not let history repeat itself!  This country has stood the test of time for more than 200 years, and this too shall pass. Learn to love your neighbor as a fellow American, even if they are stupid when they vote!

"Open Letter to the President Elect of the Good Old USA"

 
Once in a lifetime a truly unique opportunity presents itself to a fairly ordinary person who has a terrific shot at becoming a truly Great Figure in history'  Now sir, such a time has fallen ri8ght into your lap.  You have never been depicted as a Great Man, but now if you choose to, you can go down in history as a Great Man, a Great Leader, and a Great Healer.  The choice is yours.

You probably will only serve one term as President, so there is no "next election" to be concerned about.  So you don't need to worry about more votes.  You are the number one person in your political party, so you don't have to worry about "party politics". Also, there is no pending legislation with anywhere near the importance of "Healing the Country".

As Abe Lincoln once said, "you can please All of the People Some of the Time". and that's all you need to worry about!  America is most happy when Everyone gets a "nibble" at the pie, but nobody gets a Lion's Share.  That means no favorites when it comes to Democrat vs. Republican, Conservative vs. Liberal, Male vs. Female, Black vs. White, Old vs. Young, etc. (you get the Idea).  All of the People can be pleased some of the time, but none of the people should be pleased All of the Time.  The greatness of America has always been when we all pull together and root for the other guy as well as ourselves.  Someone needs to remind the American People, that we only succeed when everyone has a shot at success, and we don't despise each other, and root for the other guy to fail!

You sir, have the chance, and if you even come close, History will write you in as a Great Man!
