32. He's not deranged

People who live in tiny little bubbles detached from reality always think they and their ideas are more popular than they are.

It's the same mentality that Manson had about starting a race war with the murders of Sharon Tate and et al.

It's the same mentality that animates the loonier wing of the left who thinks that everyone in America is just dying to elect extreme lefties.

It's the same mentality that convinced the South that they would be able to kick the Union's ass in a week.

On top of the delusion bubble he occupies, TFG's malignant narcissism has him convinced that everyone loves him, and those of us who say we don't? We don't mean it. Down deep, we love him, too, we just don't want to admit it, because we're being childishly stubborn to get attention.

This is really how he "thinks."

He's so much like my evil father that it scares me.
