4. The only thing I can think about this

is that all those people who will fall for this "poor me" story will either never read anything else proving her a liar or they will believe it because they want so badly to believe she is like them. They convieniently skip over all the parts that prove otherwise and move on.

I do not understand and am unable to find any kind of explanation for this behavior. Before, I could not understand why anyone running for office would tell those tales knowing it was easy to prove them wrong. It took me years to believe that there were that many stupid people who did belive it or were so sadly without a moral compass that they would just let the real story go for the benefits of the lie. Years of bad education, poor lessons on personal accountability and letting it all slide plus likely political pressure. Pressure that tells them they are right to think everyone else is against them and everything they believe in. I cannot even figure it out in my own (hopefully) clear mind how this could even be.

I am not even sure right now this makes any sense.
