losing with grace is rare.

It isn't as rare as all that. Look at sports. I think we see a lot of good losses. Teams high five after. Even in games lots of people say GG when they lose. But yes, it is more rare than it should be.

Well said. He's been posting cringe ever since the election and I'm tired of it.

I remember back in 2016 I thought the Hillary Clinton campaign chose a terrible slogan: "Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit for presidency." It really sounds lame, and IMO a campaign slogan should not just be an attack on the other candidate. In retrospect, Clinton got it exactly right and has been redeemed by history. A narcissist should not be president, mostly because they are too easily manipulated by just flattering them, but also because of this shit. He actually WAS temperamentally unfit for the job.

My father taught me early on, whether you win or you lose, act like you've been there before.
