    They do what the average conservative everywhere does: Convince themselves that most people secretly agree with what they are doing. They truly and honestly believe over two thirds of the country want them to do that.

    That’s why they keep talking about conspiracies involving someone controlling elections, the government etc. because reality doesn’t match up with their views. And they don’t think they can be wrong, so they conclude that it has to be some shadow organization that is going against the people.

    It’s also why they keep talking about themselves as if they are revolutionary fighters going against a great evil.
