The cognitive dissonance in an unreal world.

How can it be happening?

Their world, built on lies, is crumbling all around them.

How could the FBI raid the home of Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago?

How could they find twelve more boxes of documents? How could some of them be classified as related to "National Security"?

Did they really go into his "safe"? What did they find?

Have they really found evidence on Donald Trump?

What do we do with all the lies we stored away in order to protect him and ourselves, so that we could maintain power?

Would Merrick Garland actually indict him?

How do we deal with reality?

Speculation rarely has evidentiary support, but it sure sounds good.

They have a difficult time trying to explain what is happening.
