I can't for the life of me understand why I ever believed her ridiculous hotel story when it first happened
I'm usually not one to catch on super quick to the motivations of people like Karlyn. But when the hotel thing happened, I
was skeptical that she was evicted because of her show of support for Trump by the MAGA mask. I thought it probably had more to do with her manner of speaking to people and asserting herself. However, I DID believe that SHE believed it was due to her mask. I felt sorry for her.
Gradually, I became sickeningly aware that she was, indeed, capable of actually pulling such a stunt. That is, behaving in a way to force the hotel to evict her (like banging on doors and harassing other guests), and afterwards, tell everyone she did nothing wrong and that she was being persecuted for wearing pro-Trump gear.
She knew there were countless people on Twitter who would be quick to believe that an ordinary-looking person (Karlyn) on their side of the political aisle (Trump supporters) could be ganged up on by a mob of people on the other side of the aisle (Democrats). (Of course, left-wing personalities have been known to make up stories and implicate right-wingers/conservatives as perpetrators).
Now I know that Karlyn is capable of this. She has no conscience. We expect normal-seeming people to have principles. When they prove they do not, some of us redefine what the principles are or how the principles should show up rather than admit we've been tricked.
