Do you believe Trump is lying about the election result. Just out of interest. Can you commit on that.
Well, let me put it this way. I believe Trump lost the election. But did he truly believe he did and state as much? I think he truly believes he won and the election was stolen. So, is he lying?

Now, I believe in God. Some would say that no God exists. Does that make me a liar, because I believe that God exists and would readily say so?

I drive a Ford Truck. A friend of mine believes Chevy Trucks are better than Ford. I would not call him a liar, even though I disagree.

I hope I adequately explained that. The same in politics. Because I may disagree with some of your political positions, I would never call you a liar or stupid. You have your beliefs and I have mine.
We may even share a few.

Do I think most politicians are corrupt? Yes. Some more than others. But, to different degrees, I believe corruption is a trait they all practice, either wittingly or not. You have to realize the ambition and drive of any politician to mold things as they seem appropriate or right. I mean, why else would they want to have that station in life. They believe they know what should be. And how things should be. They enforce their beliefs, by pointing out the strength of their support. So, they believe. They believe that a Congress or a Court that does not share their beliefs should be over ridden or are against their ambition to make things right, as they envision. That kind of belief is scarey. It is the exact reason that we have checks and balances. Because, unbridled, any leader or politicain with unbridled power would become intolerable. Whether He/She be Democrat or Republican. History has proven this over and over again. It is the crux of all conflict, including war.
Do I think Trump could be a dangerous despot? Yes, but no more so than any other president. Do I think Trump illogically thinks he won the election or at least cheated out of it? Yes. But, I believe all others do as well, but are gracious enough not to shout their feelings out loud. I believe Hillary ranted on for a few years as to how she was cheated for a number of various reasons. I could go on with other examples, but I think you get what I am saying.
