    I’m having difficulty finding a source because the information environment is thoroughly saturated on this topic. But IIRC, this has been tried before. There was a study where people who were thorough Trump supporters, the whole nine yards, when made to roleplay a mock jury and presented with the body of evidence available to the researchers at that point on one of Trump’s crimes, still nonetheless felt they had no choice but to face a reality that they didn’t want to believe.

    Narcissists and liars thrive when they can dominate the narrative, and flounder when they can’t. The Court system is designed around that. Hopefully it’s up to the task.
