      They’re used to lying to people they disagree with about how they actually feel.

      “I’m not racist, DEI leads to unqualified hires!”

      “I’m not sexist, men are genetically superior!”

      “Trump is leading in the polls!”

      They know he’s not, but they lie because all they have is the appearance of strength, without that they have nothing.

        It depends on where that conservative lives. If they’re in a blue state, maybe. But if they’re in a red state they’re convinced this is a coup because they don’t know anyone who’s voting for Harris. How the hell can she be ahead in the polls if nobody I know in Podunk, Tennessee is voting for her. To them, it’s all fake news. It’s a conspiracy. All the same idiotic head-in-sand crap as last time.
