Because a loss like this is a huge blow to the egos of many in the movement that don't truly understand the meaning and difference between 2D and 3D chess - emotion. Somebody posted in recent days that the best generals experience ZERO emotion as they move the chess pieces on the board, even sacrificing some in the process.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little dismayed, but I remind myself we are playing a game with incomplete information - something extremely risky to become emotionally invested in.

Might as well be emotional about the results of a coin flip. Letting the media (Left or Right) play with them. Another thing people don't seem to get, even at this point, is that this isn't a partisan thing going on here. It's only been a day or so since elections. Let's keep our heads here and let the normies freak out. It's what they're good at.

Agree. I do understand why people get emotional though. When you get so involved, its easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees.
