'I'm not wrong'; Mike Lindell testifies in defamation trial

Mike Lindell's defamation trial over election claims against Dominion Voting Systems is ongoing in Denver.

Is there a psychology term for people that have false fixed beliefs? He is not hearing voices or seeing things that aren't there. He just has strange beliefs.

This is a civil case. In a criminal case, insanity can be a defense but not in a civil case

1. Lindell truly believes his crock of shit. If so, he’s insane and needs to be locked away for his own safety.

OR

2. Lindell knows his story is bullshit but he’s so far down that path that he has no choice but to press on. In this case, he should be found to have defamed Dominion and he should be ruined and bankrupted.

ETA: Notice that Trump hasn’t come to his defense?

Kind of like Karl Roves reaction when Obama won Ohio. Saying "that can't be right" no way those numbers are anyway correct. The fix that time did not work in Ohio.

Anything is possible when one side is unwilling to even think about the possibility.
