im reading the phone transcript with Raffensperger that was leaked where he was trying to get the votes he needed to win....

I cant tell if trump is truly delusional and just a conspiracy theorist who beleives his own bullshit and is too far gone to have a sense of reality, of if he is intentionally trying to manipulate the situation and he knows better.

I get the feeling that Trump just completely lost all sense of sanity near the end and really beleived he had one and even though what he was saying made no sense he was just literally teetering on a psychotic episode or just too stupid and bias to accept reality.

I guess its a small consolation to think he wasnt intentionally trying to manipulate the situation or the results... then again I'm not 100% sure he wasnt.

@freemo That's the best theory I've heard so I'm gonna run with it thanks doc

@DA70D6 happy to help... he feels like when you argue against someone online who realizes they are wrong but just refuses to back down. Even then i can tell how much they consciously realize they were wrong.

@freemo There are a lot of parallels. The Wall Street investors are another group of the same type.

In fighting games people like them are a very specific and easily recognizable type of player and we make fun of them all the time.

@DA70D6 not sure i know the connection with fighting games here or the wall street people specifically or the relevance with all that.

@freemo It's an archetype of behavior. The kind of person that lives in a bubble and cannot understand that they are responsible for their failure. Trump at this point strikes me as the very extreme of that behavior, if he really believes in his own bullshit that much.
