I get

• Feeling good and temporarily even a bit superior because your candidate won
• Feeling sad that an issue you feel strongly about is not seen the same way by a majority of others
• Subscribing to traditional teachings from a trusted source, whether it’s church, family, or something else

I don’t get

• Being ungracious about your candidate’s having lost and excusing it because “you wouldn’t have been gracious if my candidate had won”
• Implying that everyone is sad about a particular candidate’s victory, even though that candidate handily carried your state
• Claiming to know exactly what God thinks about all this
