    I don’t think that most of them would believe he lied to them if he told them to their faces. They’d come up with some brain bender about how he’d been blackmailed by the Deep State and was only saying ti to say some child in Iowa…

      Correct, because admitting that he’s lied to them would rupture the very foundation of their beliefs. If he lied about that, what else has he lied about?

      Instead they believe it’s all a conspiracy. And that gives them power because it makes them feel “privileged” to know the “truth” as they want to believe it.
