Sour Grapes Never Tasted So Sweet

I couldn't manage to stay awake last night to see the election results, but when I went to bed Donald Trump was decidedly ahead. No matter, I told myself -- the very same thing happened in 2020, and when I woke up the next day I was shocked to learn that he had lost. Figuring they would just do again whatever they had done back then, I drifted off to sleep. But miracle of miracles, this morning I awoke to the news that Trump had won! 

I was happy, to say the least, especially because I would not have to see or hear that horrible harridan Harris anymore. Democrats are not happy, and today they are unleashing their bitterness on the world. Following is a tiny sampling of their very delicious sour grapes.

"I was so hopeful that a mixed race woman married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country, and I think that it had nothing to do with policy. I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country. -- Sunny Hostin, co-host on "The View"

“Why? Give me your reasons why????? My child is sobbing because her rights as a woman may be taken away. And if you disagree, please unfollow me.” -- actress Christina Applegate, post on X

“The fact that the country would choose to destroy itself by voting in a convicted felon rapist and Nazi is a sign of deep nihilism. To put it mildly.” -- actor John Cusack, now-deleted post on X
