They’re insane.
Don’t think of them as psychotic. They are a well-oiled propaganda machine with the goal of taking down the nation.

Anyone watching would have laughed (it was funny) but the lie would have been taken as truth. They know exactly what they are doing and it is all social psychology.
I fully realize that, and have said so for years, but it’s still psychotic.
