one common trait that comes up with these folks is how “right” they are. They’re never wrong or mistaken about anything. I screw up at least three or four times a day, find it’s easier to learn from my mistakes, take ownership of the mistake and try to fix it if it can be fixed and then move on. You point out a failing or a mistake to them, and it’s incredibly rare to see them admit it and more likely it’s deflected as to someone else being responsible for “making” them be wrong. The amount of projection that these folks employ is maddening as well and their complete lack of understanding history or how government works and their delusions about how they are all self made folks who never received any help from any one as they ascended whatever social mountaintop that they currently inhabit. If they’re not well off, it’s all downplayed into comparisons against minorities and those are the people holding them back. I see it replayed over and over again.
