You’re confused, you’ve been lied to, and now you’re a criminal. Get used to it.

That is usually the case for every dem who turned repub. see bloomberg (dem to repub to ind), who initially preferred not to fund his own campaign, same with giuliani, same with trump, and down the line. They go for the party waving the cash and support at them, no matter what they have to say.

Feelings of isolation combined with the sheer randomness of events that get him to pay attention to Trump-isms when nothing else seems to be working for him. “Hey, maybe my life sucks because I’m going about it all wrong! I’ll try something else!”

It doesn’t need to be anything melodramatic or straight-forward.

A case of the Dope-ler effect. Dumb ideas seem smarter when coming towards you at high speed.

“I’m completely confused,” he allegedly wrote in one Jan. 6 tweet, according to the complaint. “For 6-8 weeks everybody on the right has been saying ‘1776!’ & that if congress moves forward it will mean a revolution! So congress moves forward. Patriots storm the Capitol – now everybody is virtual signaling their embarrassment that this happened.”

He allegedly wrote the same day: “Perhaps I missed the part where it was agreed this would be a revolution of ice cream cones & hair-braiding parties to take our government back from lying, cheating globally interested swamp parasites. My bad.”

Attention. He’s starved for it. He gets approving attention from Trump/MAGA and derision (which is still attention) from sane people of good character.
