    That’s the thing about spending 70 years lying and having someone else fire anyone that disagrees…

    You start believing it all.

    Same shit happened to Elon and loads of other rich people, they stop getting real feedback and understanding that they’re being lied to.

    The honestly believe their own bullshit, and they just don’t know how to react to the truth.

    We saw it with the interview about the ms13 tattoo, trump doesn’t even know how to argue anymore, he’s used to everyone just agreeing with him, so when they don’t his only argument is “why aren’t you saying what I want you to say, do you not understand what I want you to say?”

    Because that’s the only time they hear what they dont want to; when the person talking to them is confused about what they want to hear

      Sums up the online right and the futility of debating or arguing with them in any real fashion. This is the culture of JD Vance and Andrew Tate.
