Image:  The reconciliation of Jacob and Esau Bill McGurn, @wjmcgurn, @WSJOpinion, WSJ editorial page & Main Street column, in re:  The remains of the election day: 71 million-plus votes for Donald Trump.  Main media still saying that Trump was never a legitimate president; derogation. Mueller investigation led to naught.  Extreme Democratic language.  Can’t decree reconciliation; you have to persuade people on the other side, and to do that correctly is hard work. Even Joe Biden last year said he agreed that Trump wasn’t legitimate; also Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, John Lewis. All accused Trump of subsequently disproven misdeeds. These contributed to the poisonous atmosphere. Right now, the onus will be on Biden.  He needs to take the hard step to do it; AOC demanded a blacklist.  There’s no cheap reconciliation. Leadership is hard.  The over-the-top call to smearing people or denying them jobs . . .  [as AOC did].  You have to acknowledge your responsibility in things. Not a coincidence that the Trump opposition defined themselves not as opposition but as “the resistance.” Do the Democrats cease the dergogation ofGOP voters? https://spacenews.com/biden-administration-expected-to-emphasize-climate-science-over-lunar-exploration-at-nasa/
