I’m the Mayor of Minneapolis. Trump is Lying to You. At this point, I am convinced that many of Trump’s supporters are fully aware he’s lying. They know, but they embrace the lies because those lies align with their deeply held beliefs and serve their narrative. These are the people who embody the essence of bad faith antagonism.

The focus is on team loyalty and scoring “librul tearz.”
