Literally what happened last term. They all believed their own bullshit even though they voted for him all three times. The collective amnesia is real.

They 1984 themselves out of self preservation because admitting they are capable of making mistakes is in stark contrast with their ego.

I'm not sure if it's a new phenomenon or the internet has just made it easier to spot but there are vast swaths of people who live their lives with zero doubts of their past present and future, despite a third party view displaying massive incongruent behavior.

Attributing it to stupidity understates what is being observed here. It is an all encompassing psychosis.
