If you are on /int/ long enough you can actually watch them go through the Kübler-Ross 5 stages of grief model:
>Denial
"America never lost a war, Vietnam was just a battle in the Cold War and muh K:D ratio"
>Anger
"Fuck you Europoors, you're obsessed. We could fucking nuke you at any minute!!!"
>Bargaining
"If we could just elect this guy and deport all of these and get more guns and stop looking at the places and people here that do bad things everything would work out great."
>Depression
"Why can't I live in a 1st world country, I'm leaving"
>Acceptance
"Haha, look, I post Amerimutt memes too lol, whoopsie daisy, I sharted myself in the mart"
