Suppose you are on a Basketball team and decide to take a “Me First” attitude. Your goal is to score as many points as you can. When your teammates complain, you say.....you are welcome to score as many points as you can too.
Sounds like a way to score more points
But what happens is you end up shooting every time you get the ball whether you have a shot or not. Your point total may go up at first, but eventually your teammates will stop passing you the ball.
Overall, your scoring will drop
America is the greatest country, despite how much that bothers you.
The best player makes great passes and plays great defense. The best player helps players on his team. Like Britain and Israel.
The best player doesn't threaten to stop helping his teammate Britain if Britain drops out of the EU.
The best player doesn't support anti-Semites in his family when they attack his teammate Israel.
The best player does not sent a plane load of money to the other team to help them buy more players.
Try another analogy... This is fun.
