It is not a garment I cast off this day, but a skin that I tear with my own hands.
ChicoSlim
Switch bamboozled with hornswoggled, then read with Slim Pickens voice from Blazing Saddles.

I've heard a similar quote. "Its far easier to fool someone, than it is to convince them they've been fooled"
Bizarkly

My dad always respected him and told me to learn from him. I should have taken my dad's advice sooner. He was very ahead of his time.

It’s why we can’t accept the Sphinx is older than ancient Egypt even w Göbekli Tepe staring us in the face.

I think it's called the sink fallacy. You've sunk so much time believing a thing, you're unlikely to admit wrong or change anything.
Sunk cost fallacy

becomes so much harder to change such beliefs because it means you have to change your identity.

It's easy to point to Trump, but in this case, the referenced charlatan is simply themselves.
I don’t think that’s accurate.
The "bamboozle" is that they're right, anyone arguing with them is fake or lying, and they have they should have power. Trump is a symptom.
Ideas don’t come from nowhere. Maybe trump isn’t the first to con them, but it all starts with someone like him.
Also this one, which just amuses me.
