That is why they resent any help going to others... "I suffered, so it is only fair that others suffer as well" THAT is their idea of 'fairness'...

A man so emotionally crippled to have such thoughts should at least have the sense not to repeat them on national television. And while he’s in the shop, he might get a brain put in as well.

It is always, "You are maliciously lying just because you're out to get us." They simply cannot avoid the conviction that all their opposition is due to a conspiracy working some personal vendetta against them. There is a clinical term for this: paranoia. They are convinced that their enemies are not just wrong, but engaged in some kind of plot to get them. I think that reveals something profoundly significant about their character, not to mention a profound weakness in their tactics. For example, scientists are not just wrong about global warming, "they are lying about it because it benefits their own career (or their statist politics) at the expense of our business and way of life." In their twisted universe, their enemies are not just mistaken, they are villains, and they are villains for a specific reason..
