Yes....your onto something when you talked about the psychological need to keep believing the lie. People don't want to or can't admit they were duped. We need ads ( maybe lincoln project) that give people an out and a face saving reason, to change their mind....maybe point out that through out his whole life he has conned some very intelligent people

Great podcast with you and Mary Trump. When I first learned of her book and heard Trump's attorneys were going to attempt her from publishing the book, I knew something was amiss relating to Trump. Publishers have made so much money since Trump has been in office these awful four years as everyone has a story to tell. I listen to so many books on audible and stay abreast of these stories. I am so happy Mary Trump was able to enlighten us with what some of us already knew and feared, the ineffectiveness, racial hatred, and the individual who couldn't spell TRUTH if his life depended on the truth. Why are Republicans afraid of him? I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Mike Pence, who was always missing, except the one time he was a target in the Capitol, or was always silent, is afraid to enforce the 25th Amendment. Trump should never be able to hold an office again. The Republicans were warned by Adam Schiff ... if you don't convict him, he'll do it again, and Susan Collins said "He's learned his lesson!" She should not have won her reelection again either. I am an African American woman, and you know our history, so no need to go into that now. Happy the African American and Jewish men won the run-offs in Georgia as I am fearful now, but just think if that racist Mitch McConnell was still the majority leader in 2021! He confirmed a justice in 8 days, yet won't get involved in the impeachment. People wake up ... his wife resigned so she would not be able to vote for the 25th Amendment and Betsy Devos, a total embarrassment for the educational system! Hawley and Cruz, as well as Lindsay Graham and others should resign. All countries are laughing at America now ... who knows ... Canada and Mexico may build their walls! Thanks for allowing me to vent ... freedom is NOT free in these times we are living in today. We need to chant "Lock him up and his children" along with Michael Flynn and others. My fear: Once he gets the names of the "thugs" that invaded the Capitol, he will pardon them! Excuse all errors ... writing this with feelings!

I also think it should be pointed out over and over everywhere that not one Republican officeholder, objecting to Biden's victory, have objected to their own wins, on the SAME day, on the SAME ballots, using the SAME election systems.... Thanks George Taki......
