but living in a deep disturbing denial. If anything it will only worsen after the election, eventually denying it ever happened.

i mean damn, that's like the biggest damn race you can get into, and the whole country has the opportunity to reject you all at once
that's a big pill to swallow

for someone who doesn't have much experience with losing, it's going to be brutal

he's going to be going through fascism withdrawals if he can't figure out a way to keep his hatefests going for a while to ramp down slowly

Most of their lives. They would not be there otherwise.

I assume for anyone losing is hard, not because it is losing, but because for a year or more you have articulated all the things that you would fight to enact... and losing means we are likely to go in opposite direction.

In fact, the "best" losers are those who focus on still fighting for everything they spoke of believing in. They speak of how this was bigger than them.

Note Donald has made everything all about him. HE likely will not rise to being a good loser.
