A Nation of Sore Losers With Millions of Members
It’s called the Republican Party
Let’s shoot straight with this numbers game. Approximately 28% of voting Americans consider themselves Republicans. Not right-leaning Independents; card-carrying GOP members. Since few of us change parties, it can be assumed they are lifelong members.
And their leadership, at every level, has embraced a new political belief in America, that if you lose the vote it must be corrupt. Yes, we have a nation’s worth of sore losers and they are doubling down.
It’s easy to trace this new reality back to its origins. Narcissists cannot admit defeat under any circumstances. To do so would bring down their entire psychological house of cards. You cannot be a loser if you are automatically the most important person in the room, in your own mind.
We all know who I am talking about, so I’ll just let that pitiful bit of US history go and focus instead on what he has unleashed in our society. In virtually everything in life there are trade offs. Sometimes you come out ahead, sometimes you don’t. But we now have a major party claiming to only experience the former.
Which by the way is impossible. No one wins all the time.
