Losers: How Donald Trump's loss is further inflaming his already delusional base

Raw Story  

Now that their candidate has lost fair and square, we need to brace ourselves for their predictably vicious response. As she puts it, the key word to describe Trump's base is "bitter": Turn on Fox News any random night, and it's a full blown whine-fest about how alleged "elites" are trying to control them and ruin their lives. As Eve Fairbanks writes for the Washington Post, Trump did far worse than anyone expected, and that's considering his poor poll numbers before Election Day. The failure registers even more so for the fact that in Trump's universe he simply always wins. The problem that we have to confront is the fact that this "successful loser" mentality actually does win, and that despite Trump's humiliating loss, the GOP overall did pretty well in the 2020 election.
