Joking aside , some of my extended family still thinks the US is winning and that a lot of these ‘pain points’ are required to Larger-winning. I am not certain how to unpack the cope but the cope is strong.
Yeah … it is wild. I think part of it is they tied sooo much of their identity and feeling of value to trump that admitting they were / are wrong would be invalidating themselves and their artificially constructed value but it is unbelievably dogmatic.
Are you tired of winning yet?
Do you want to win more?
Please no more ‘winning’… please.
