A Straight Deal

CHAPTER IX: Concerning a Complex
2/5

The "suppressed complex" I need not describe, as our English complex is by no means suppressed.

Year after year we have been excited about elections and candidates and policies, preferring one party to the other.

If this preference has been very marked, or even violent, you know how disinclined we are to give credit to the other party for any act or policy, no matter how excellent in itself, which, had our own party been its sponsor, we should have been heart and soul for.

You know how easily we forget the good deeds of the opposite party and how easily we remember its bad deeds.
