MODERATORS
Conservatives seem to have this weird belief that if they tried something and failed, then everything should be as if they never tried at all. Like, "attempted murder" just isn't a thing in their eyes.
Maybe it's just how their fragile egos handle not winning everything always.
“You see, Birch, I'm presently incarcerated for a crime I didn’t even commit! ‘Attempted murder.’ Ha! Now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for attempted chemistry? Do they?!” - Sideshow Bob from the episode of The Simpsons where he literally becomes the Republican mayoral candidate after calling into a right wing talk radio show.
When Trump won and starting talking about how unlikely it was, I half-expected him to break out into evil laughter ala Sideshow Bob in this scene. Which certainly would have been more honest.
Could he then get dragged through cactai while strapped to someone's undercarriage and then step on rakes indefinitely? That'd be swell.
The love the fucking around, but they want to eliminate the finding out
They don't win everything always?
