@IAmPaigeAT: I can. He never believed what he was saying in the first place. It was just privilege and posturing and being amused and lording over the plebs and rubes.
@thedisasterautist you have to wonder though, he seems to believe the things that he says. Such a hypocrisy if you’re right but hard to imagine how someone could keep such a straight face through it all if they had any doubt.
@IAmPaigeAT: People do that stuff for the camera all the time. Grifters, con artists, hustlers, players, and charlatans *always* seem to believe the things they say. That's how you convince your marks to buy what you're selling. For more people than you may believe or may want to believe, lying is pretty commonplace on most levels of society, all the way down to between friends and family. It's a matter of scale.
@IAmPaigeAT: I mean I can believe he takes himself seriously, though he doesn't take what he's spewing seriously. He's just "playing the game" and profiting.
