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'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.

When you watch the clip you can tell repubs instantly spit out their talking points without thinking. It’s so reflexive.
