We all lost, dumbass. You're not messaging us from another planet, are ya?
PS: Except for maybe Musk, etc. Or maybe they just don't know it yet.
There you go assuming everyone is a progressive again. Reality has a "liberal" bias when you surround yourself in an echo chamber.
Humans are herd animals. The need to keep the herd going is a instinctual thing. The conservative view is very much self centered. It goes against our nature as a species.
Then we are certainly wired differently. I have no need to keep the "herd" going or to do what others demand beyond the practical. There is probably a collectivist vs individualist argument here too and the voluntary and involuntary aspects of cooperation herein.
But you need the herd to keep you going.
