They don't think they have to hide it anymore. Because their base believes everything they say, they know they can say anything and it'll be taken at face value. Then toss in how they've been programmed to "blame the Dems" for everything...

Drumpf could say tomorrow "The sun will rise from the north and set to the south." When the sun winds up rising from the east (as it has for about 4.5 billion years), they'll say "Biden did that! Drumpf would never lie to us!"

It'd be funny if it wasn't so scary.

30-40% of our country. It'd be hilarious if it was in another comedy/documentary like Idiocracy. In reality, though, it's downright horrifying.
