I&#8217;ve had friends whose idea of compromise was that YOU compromise and do what they want. Not fun people to be around, but a terrible position for government. Basically I don&#8217;t care that there were 3 million more of you &#8230; I won, so fuck off. Try to get Congress back and stop me in a few years. That&#8217;d not unity, it&#8217;s repression. Works for a while, but not sustainable. But that&#8217;s bringing business acumen to governance &#8211; short term gains that make me look good, what happens in four or eight years is the next guy&#8217;s problem.
