    This is it. As long as I can remember in the US, the winning party (winning with 23.7% of the eligible voters approval vs 22.9% on the other side) have always essentially said, “suck it losers!” and done as much as they can of what the other party hates. It’s tyranny of the majority and why the US has a constitutional Republic framework to limit that tyranny, however ineffective it may be. Never has a party come into power and said, “let’s make sure we also represent the will of the millions of voters who voted the other way.”
