I posted this as a comment on a different platform, but perhaps it deserves a wider audience:
If your political side was elected yesterday, and if you've ever pondered how others can vote for people with whom you so vehemently disagree, now you know: Those with whom you disagree feel precisely the way you feel right now.
We all believe what we believe for reasons that are important to each of us.
If your political side was not elected yesterday, I encourage you (and pray that you) resist the urge to lash out at those who voted for their political side and against yours.
It's a temptation.
Resist it.
If you're a Christian, our relationship in Christ matters more than politics. If you read that last sentence and believe I said "Politics doesn't matter," you read it wrong. God created politics, and He remains Lord over politics. Jesus said "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
All.
Authority.
Don't take my word for it, look it up. It's in red in Matthew 28:14. Jesus goes on to command we who follow Him to act a certain way towards nations. God created nations.
Politics is not a result of the fall of man into sin. Civil government was created by God, right along with everything else He created. And, as goes for everything else He created, He commands civil magistrates to behave in a certain manner. First and foremost, to be subject to God.
God is God, and the state is not.
Christians, first and foremost, I urge you to love God. Second and very near the first, I urge you to love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37-40, also in red).
Regarding those with whom we disagree - our enemies, even - C. S. Lewis stated “If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them. That is one of the rules common to the whole house.”

@EdgeCGroup Good morning, Jim. Does GPGI check the box on 1, 2, and 3 of the operators build list? Or are they in the process of developing those?
Side note about post - Is the link to the Barchart article supposed to be in the post?
Thanks!
