On the playground, in first or second grade, kids are supposed to learn how to lose.
The first few times there are tears (mostly from the girls) or tantrums (mostly from the boys). Then kids learn to shrug it off.
There is always another day. Wait'll next year, the Cubs are known for saying.
The Cubs and elementary school children need to teach some grownups the rules for being a good loser.
When the majority votes for something, those who voted against it are supposed to shrug it off. They can work to pass another law -- not too publicly please, nobody wants to see sausage made. But, ranting about socialism, spitting on people (oh, yes, you did, it was on videotape) and making racist comments is childish, counterproductive and stupid. We (thinking Americans) can only hope enough people are disgusted by them to vote them out of office.
