    Counterpoint: a disproportionate share of the people refusing to admit that Trump lost are in their mid-70s & know that Trump's will be the last Administration in which they matter.https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/1343724341377310720 …

    The Alex Nowrasteh @AlexNowrasteh
    Many conservatives haven't admitted defeat because doing so would weaken their future influence in the GOP. Political parties prize loyalty, especially during crises. Those who are loyal will have a seat at the table in a few years. The realists won't. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/profiles-in-conservative-cowardice/ … pic.twitter.com/t5163CpiH9

        What about the commentators? Gingrich is old, but Rubin and Crowder are both relatively young.

        They're following the dollars. Subscribers want Trump Loyalty, so they will be loyal to the end. When the MAGA hats disappear and the subscribers want something else, they'll be on that train.

        Rationalizing why people deny reality. People prefer loyalty over the truth? People prefer to believe a lie because later they don’t think they will be important? All of this rationalizing is insane to me.

        It’s not rationalization; it’s a grift. Look at the hangers-on. It’s either “for the clicks” or those who will never sniff power again.

        It’s the exact opposite - the deniers have the longest potential future in the party. Those who are old are most likely to tell Trump to shut up, like retiring politicians who suddenly become brave, because they have nothing to lose.

        Exactly. If people latch onto Trump because it's their last chance to have some power, how do you explain John McCain blowing off the GOP in his last moments?

        Not only does this strain to excuse deranged denial of reality (not new for Dan) it also makes absolutely no sense (not new either now that I think about it).

        ????????? My guess the difference of 2016 liberals and 2020 conservatives in accepting defeat is as simple as President Trump continues to claim he won when 2016 HRC conceded the day after the election. So liberals refusing defeat had no impact on anything.

        It’s such a dumb compare. Not only did HRC concede, BHO had Trump in Oval.
