“The accusation rankled. She would never cheat. He and his fellow Fox News zombies were the cheaters, gerrymandering districts and fixing the Supreme Court to do the bidding of the minority, storming the Capitol when they lost. She took pride in treating everyone who voted--Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green, or Independent--equally. She cared about fairness and representation. He didn't care about any of that.

“The truth is, you see, however much they would beg to disagree, humans don't actually like to win. Or rather, they like winning for about ten seconds, but if they keep on winning, they end up actually having to think about other things, like life or death. The only thing humans like less than winning is losing, but at least something can be done about that. With absolute winning, there is nothing to be done. They just have to deal with it.”
