lol. I just read a few words and I see he accused Obama of a coup.

Trump truly is cut from the same cloth as Putin. That is a telltale sign of a dictator. Accuse others of exactly what you've done. It's fascinating.

    The thing with Trump is you can't really tell if he's spreading disinformation because he's trying to spread lies he knows his voterbase will eat up, or because his dementia has him believing that in earnest.

    It's both. I spent a decade in a relationship with someone who lied nearly continuously, it seemed to me that after a few years the lies they told became truths to them, no dementia involved. I made up this theory that their brain converted the lies to truths, because truths are easier to remember than lies, according to Judge Judy at least. So, in order to remember all the lies, they are converted to truths. imo.

    After the relationship ended, my ex was eventually convicted twice for fraud, the second time they went to jail. I could go on and on with stories.

    Trump's not even in control of his own brain, he's got serious mental illness.

    My ex was a compulsive liar too. I believe that they genuinely believed their lies. They had no consistency in their own brain and constantly rewrote the reasons for their decisions

    Next time you're lying awake at night remembering that cringe thing you did in school, realise that you've thought about it so much you've rewritten the memory to some extent and it didn't happen exactly how you remember and now you don't know what to believe.

    Omg, if Obama actually did attempt, and succeed at a coup, that would be fucking amazing. Probably the best thing that could happen to the country in all honesty, but alas, this is 199% projection

    Meh, Obama was never the left-winger the USA needs. He's very much a centrist Democrat, and his coup wouldn't fix the problems. That said, it would be significantly better than MAGA fascism.
