yup. 4 decades of Gaslighting. Roger Ailes created you.
The Big Lie eats their brains. The more impudent the lie, the better it works. When Trump says "I did nothing wrong! Read the Transcript!" they've already been so gaslighted that when they read the transcript they agree with him, if they actually bother to read it at all. Why would they? Trump already said that he's innocent & that's all they need to know.
