Today’s political theater is replicating a bad football game. Every time there is an apparent fumble both teams pile on and scrum for the ball, all the while everyone else stands around clueless pointing in the opposite directions. Countless replays are broadcast to no avail. The refs dive in and must figure out who has made the recovery. Just like several states in our last election. Everyone claims victory and the clueless point in their direction making things up along the way. The judges have leaned in and called the winner. Coaches have objected to the call and again more video replays confirm the refs and judges call.
Every score reviewed and confirmed. The game is over. The final score posted for everyone to see and yet the teams refuse to leave. They choose to swarm the field and continue the fight. The refs avoid the mayhem and let the coaches try to bring about resolution.
The people have voted, all the votes counted, the courts have ruled on the challenges, the electoral college has voted; and now, like the Tulsa-Mississippi State bowl game, a new fight is about to commence.
It is time to move on and let the winners celebrate a hard-fought victory and respect their challengers. It is good that the stands were empty, or the brawl would have been worse. Let us press the leadership to keep the crowds out of the political brawl and celebrate our long stand tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. #NeverFeartheDream
