I share your pain. Sure, our side lost, but that's not a reason to be
bitter.

Interesting comment that reminds me of the current situation. I've heard
of people referring to "our side" when they had absolutely no family in
the US at the time of the Civil War. It just happened that their
ancestors, often from Europe, settled in a particular state and a hundred
years later, those people are taking sides based on where they happen to
live.

Bigotry and paranoia know no borders, and apparently have an infinite shelf
life as well.
