Technology Connections posted a very great video about this recently. Algorithms are breaking how people think and lulling them into complacency, losing the ability to think, research, discern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJpZjg8GuA
And yet another.
This makes more sense when you look at conservatives as a whole. They're by far the largest consumers of sports, sports betting, and are hyper-competitive - they'll do anything to win.
Just go to any youth sports event and just observe who is doing what. The parents that are doing nothing but positive cheering for their team (and even congratulating the other team on a genuinely good play) look like your stereotypical NPR mom/dad. The ones screaming, coaching from the sidelines, complaining the "ref is fucking us", are all the same stereotypical conservatives sporting a goatee, karen cut, oakleys, and tacticool tshirts promoting warrior mentality.
For them, loss is weakness. Aggression is strength. The only way they'll even come close to admitting they fucked up is couching in a way that lets them save face. They'll blame someone or something else. Never themselves.
You can't lose if you never accept the final score.

And don't forget the army of enabling and validating mouthbreathers who buy that he's a genius, when he's really a fraud at every level. If it wasn't for Daddy's Money, he'd be a stereotypical stoner who works part time at some low wage job only to spend most of his time sucking at gaming.
