Trump is a deeply damaged person with several psychoses, but his refusal to accept reality is an exact match with the White Evangelicals who dominate Republican voter rolls.
The Republican base has been at war with reality for 100 years, trying desperately to cling to patently false ideas about science, religion, and history in support of what I call "Confederate Christianity."
Self-deception and lying to the world is fundamental to far-right Christians.

The AI crowd size lie is Trump's new strategy
Lying about being cheated is Trump's modus operandi. During the 2016 Republican nomination race when he falsely claimed that Ted Cruz had cheated in the Iowa presidential primary

Earlier today, Kevin Roberts, chair of Project 2025, threatened violence against anyone who opposes Donald Trump: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."
This is 100% Christofascism. Do not kid yourself. They aim to criminalize birth control, non-Christianity, all sex outside of church sanctioned cishet marriage, all women's rights, and so much more.

Well it's their property so unfortunately, they can decide what to do with it. They clearly felt that it was too difficult to convert things over to static sites since they weren't getting any revenue from it.

In an unbelievable act of corporate vandalism, Paramount completely erased the entire archives of MTV dot com, wiping out more than 30 years and hundreds of thousands of pages https://www.showbiz411.com/2024/06/25/paramount-shuts-down-mtv-website-wipes-history-after-20-plus-years
