At the core, though, the self-centered mind is in love with itself and its own ideas, however delusional and destructive.

Latching onto a kindred spirit like Trump is as natural as sneering at the poor and the disadvantaged. Stealing and losing children was of course the right border policy and a perfect example to the world of America's self-righteousness and utter cruelty on a national scale -- the fabled city on a hill is shining because of blinding hypocrisy.

The greatest fear of arrogant pissants suffering from chronic assholeness is being exposed -- revealed as irrelevant; shrill voices with nothing to say; stifling, boring little minds who can only focus on themselves and their own petty little problems, usually self-created and blamed on others.

And lying is the glue that holds the whole charade together. It's second nature to lie about anything to anybody. Big things, little things, it doesn't matter; lying is the coin of their realm.

For instance: How many times have you heard "Biden" and "inflation" in the same sentence as the big "issue" for the midterms? What?! First of all, a president is not a Marvel super hero who can vanquish the inflation villian by the awesome power focused through aviator sunglasses. Secondly... oh never mind; what's the use?

Mostly, Republicans lie to themselves. And they love it.
