What’s the Best Explanation for the Behavior of Trump and His Top Congressional Supporters

A reader sent me this.  I completely disagree.

Re: Trump and his enablers’ activities post the 2020 election, let me ask him to pick which of the following is more likely:

a) These people all suffer from narcissism or some related psychological disorder which blinds them from seeing the truth, i.e., that they lost, or,

b) Trump is a sociopathic criminal who had tried dozens of different tactics to overturn an election that he knows goddamn well he lost.  He loves power and will commit any conceivable atrocity to maintain it.  His enablers aren’t happy about supporting him through this crime-spree, but they see it as the only way to hold on to their seats in Congress.
