about losing the civil war. Him always being the victim appeals to southerners, especially since now he has all the power that they missed out on.

It's a perfect fit for red-neck southerners. That's why all those folks in Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are flying the confederate flag as well as the nazi flag: they're all suffering the victim mentality, and rallying around the victim (whiner) that now has power.

It's the victim syndrome.

I have to admit that I know nothing about the competence or otherwise of the Davis administration. They lost the war, but I don't know how much of that was his fault.

HRC did not get a majority of votes.
Had she, the election would not have been close enough for electoral legerdemain to occur.
She got a plurality, not a majority.
But, I like Fugelsang's take overall!
