America's Whiniest 'Victim': Charles Blow NAILS Trump in today's NYT (MUST-READ)

2. The RW, especially since 9/11, has gloried in painting itself--and our country--as victims

The fact that we are the strongest, greatest country in the world cuts no ice with people who are determined to whine about how poorly treated we are, how endangered we are, how we need protection. Contrast this with the attitude of the Brits, who've truly lived under wartime attack, who give a collective FU to terrorists (as they did to Hitler). I will never forget the guy who, after the first London Bridge terror attack, told an interviewer: "I guess they are offended that I am out at night, having a gin and tonic with friends. Well, if that pisses them off, I'm going to go out every night for a G & T."
