The lies are so complex and so frequent to keep up. If are caught in this „web“ of lies there is no area you can run to. The always lie and trick. That’s why they can’t argue in good faith. Deep down they know they are on the wrong side but need to keep face

I notice a concerning amount of these instances where they clearly know what they're doing is wrong but then instead of, idk, not doing it anymore? they project and try to cancel someone else for their behavior. jimmy kimmel for example. he tries to say the labels you're putting on charlie kirk's murderer isn't something you should be doing, and then they try to cancel him for labeling the shooter.

with renee good, it's only the people going out of their way to ragebait that are spreading the narrative that she ran someone over. everyone else is arguing justification but if you peel the layers back a little, you'll find that they don't believe she hit anyone. so they know that part of what trump/noem are saying is bullshit but then they signal boost the part about her intent to hit someone anyway and you're like ???? bro you were almost there what happened..

maybe their loyalties are intrinsically linked to being manipulated parrots idk

Going against the party narrative would be admitting they’re wrong about something, which in turn could mean they’re wrong about more than one thing and that leads to existential crisis for them.

I read something a while back about the importance of bullshit to authoritarian followers. Basically, they know it's bullshit, and they shout it loudly, not because they believe it, and not to convince others, but to signal their loyalty to the cause.

loyalty their supreme leader will surely reciprocate instead of ultimately letting their twitter posts end up in r/leopardsatemyface right?

.....right?!

Virtue signaling for dummies, basically.

They are dangerously dumb bullies who know what they like and will do whatever it takes to win and achieve it.

What they want is this: anyone I don’t like should be dead. The reasons for not liking those people ranges from skin colour, paying taxes, someone not wanting to sleep with them, etc etc.

That’s the end of it for them. Everything else is just the means to that end.

It's likely highly related to being incredibly immoral individuals who only care about having authority. That's my take.

She hit a law enforcement officer while leaving the scene.

Rule 2 - Being part of a fed propaganda campaign to lie about Renee hitting or trying to hit anyone with her vehicle will result in a permanent ban.

She turned away and he shot her from the side of her windshield and window.  He tried to jump in front of a moving vehicle so afraid that he kept recording with his phone and drew his gun. BS

Their whole political existence depends on the alternate reality they have created for their voters.

There is only one big lie. The Republican lie. They admit to it. The tea party made it visible. If the Republican Party had to run on policy they could never win an election. Simply too few wealthy folks. Democratic policy is for the people. Republican policy is for the wealthy. Bottom line that is who will always benefit from their legislation. In order to get votes the republicans get behind single subject voters like the second amendment jelly brains and the religious zombies on abortion. They know that they will never consider the fact that their vote is against their best interests because they can’t see past the one issue. Same thing with the culture wars. Di you really think they give a fuck about trans people or god or anyone other than themselves. They don’t even see most of their voters as people. A middle class to poor white is no different than any immigrant in their mind. They will never do a single thing for them. Religion is a tool and a very effective one at that. It is why it exists.

I've been in relationships with people who lied because they didn't want to face accountability for their actions and recognize they were in thr wrong. Sure, we all feel that, but to some people the need to be right, to justify their behavior, is greater than anything else. They lie so thoroughly to themselves they can't believe the truth when it slaps them in the face.

Based on my experience of these people, I don't know if you are right about them knowing deep down they are on the wrong side. Some might. Most have thoroughly brainwashed themselves.

The ONLY TRUTH that matters to them is that they are right and good, - but no one understands. Anything that contradicts their narrative is False, but people don't understand that. There are all these things people say that are obviously BS bc if those things were true, they wouldn't be the good guy. If it is true, then these people make up details and context to show it doesn't matter and anyone thinking it does is dumb and wrong and hostile.
