Apologies if this has been posted previously (and with over 10k posts on these threads, I'm sure it has been) but the thing that strikes me again and again about the Trump supporters is that they can't stop going on and on about how they 'won' and HRC supporters/liberals 'lost.'
It seems as simple as that, tbh.
It puts me in mind of my 4yo daughter and one of her friends (in actual fact, a bizarrely spiteful child in her nursery class); any game started by this second child must involve one set against another (usually girls against boys) and the whole thing tends to degenerate into yelling 'WE WOOOOON!' and 'YOU LOOOOOOOOST!'
They are 4.
And, as I say, the one behind ths stuff is an unusually spiteful 4 year old. (physically pushes and intimidate smaller children, stops 'non-friends' from playing with her and her friends etc)
Again. They are 4.
DT's supporters are, presumably, not 4. The fact that they still see this as some hilarious 'we won, you're all sad looooooooooooosers, hahahahahahahahaha,' (quite literally the kind of thing I've seen posted on Daily Mail comments site, when I choose to torture myself with it) is mind-boggling but appears to be true.
I can only deduce that these are people that have been so incredibly frustrated (for good reasons or bad) and so incredibly wound up by 8 years of Dem govt that it matters most to them simply that they won.
I think, too, that many of them might be hiding behind the joy of 'we wooooooon, you looooooooost hahahahahahaha' because it's much more fun and easier to cling onto this than it is to begin to admit the slightest possibility that the man who 'wooooooon' and made your enemies 'looooooooose hahahahahaha' for you is a fucking moron at best, an actual traitor at worst.
I think, too, that this is the same reason they won't engage with the Russia stuff. The mere possibility that you were fucking deluded enough to elect a man who might, just might have been put there by Russia ... horrible thought to have to contemplate. Much jollier to gloat and cackle about the loooooooooosers you somehow seem to think are all sitting around wearing diamond shoes and breakfasting on aborted babies.
