They are not teams. They are not your team. Stop thinking about them like that. They are parties, representative, politicians. The team they are supposed be on is your team, the citizens of the nation they represent - red or blue, same team, different ideas.
My point is that your list isn't mutually exclusive (Facebook, interference, racism, bad Democratic candidate), and, anecdotally, every human being I know in person agrees those are all real issues that contributed, and only disagree on degrees, and those disagreements have always been reasonable. What I think is dangerous is broadly dismissing all those issues under the umbrella of "you lost, deal with it." Irrational blame-seekers will always point to every single issue they can - please don't let that cast a shadow on the issues themselves if you can.
