Why was the presidency a divisive issue and how can it be solved?

the way that I view this quote is this;

just because you beat someone at something, it doesn't always make you better. even if you do get the pleasure of feeling better, it doesn't always mean you are. if someone is trying to beat someone for the feeling of superiority, it doesn't make them any better than they were before. people should just put their feelings to the side and do what's best for themselves.

feel free to build off of this. hope it helps!
