As we now know, confirmed by conservative jurists, Republican politicians, etc. that there was no “stolen election.” There was no voter fraud of any note. (Interestingly when cases of voter fraud are found it is almost always being perpetrated by Republicans—which may be a consequence of the GOP undermining the act of voting and claiming the system is rigged.)
Back to Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump, Mafia Don as I call him, is a pathological liar. This is testified to by the 30,000+ lies he told while in office alone. When Mr. Trump employed his “Big Lie” which he states as “we won, we won in a landslide, everybody knows that, but they cheated and stole the election from us” etc., he employed the super power of pathological liars, which is he actually believes his Big Lie is true.
We all can detect when people are being insincere and, the flip side, when someone really believes what they are saying. By believing the Big Lie, the liar benefits from our perception that we think they think they are telling the truth. But Mafia Don is now trapped in his lie, which is now his truth. He cannot abandon it, and he cannot abandon his “followers” who believe it, too.
“. . . he employed the super power of pathological liars, which is he actually believes his Big Lie is true.”
I know this because of my unfortunate second marriage. I did not know ahead of time that the woman I was to marry was a pathological liar. It reached a point at which her best friend and I tried to stage an intervention. If it had been filmed and included as a scene in a movie, most people would have said it was pure Hollywood and overblown. My then wife, worked herself up from a rational debater to a snarling lion threatening to do us and her physical harm. I assume that such episodes are what led people to believe in demon possessions.
Pathological liars often weave a web of lies that becomes their reality. Whatever it replaces becomes, instead of their actual reality, a fantasy.
At Mr. Trump’s age and the number of years he has spent building his fantasy world leads me to believe that there is no psychological intervention that could result in his normalization, so it seems best that he be locked away where he can harm no one else to live out the years he has remaining.
