Resentment

The theme for Biden's inaugural address is America United as the congress contemplates a second impeachment. Trump will be out of office in one week so this seems to be more revengeful than helpful. Many feel that revenge is the second strongest motive after love. It is mindful of a divorce gone bad. As the parents (the parties) fight the children (voters) pay the price but getting even is more important. Party seems to be more important than country. Biden could play the part of the marriage counselor and bring the two sides to an equitable arrangement. There is always the possibility that those who loathed Trump for over four years may suffer some permanent psychic damage. They may have discovered a side of themselves they were not previously aware and how they handle things from this point may go a long way to determine if this damage can be repaired. Not punishing Trump can turn into resentment . Being resentful is like taking poison and expecting the other guy to get sick.
