Power. Done, saved you a read.
Is it power? These are delusions. They don't affect reality.
Mostly, they appear to be coping for anxiety and stress. Trump's MAGA is a way to convince conservatives that "the patriots are in control" when they're plainly powerless. The Mueller She Wrote crowd needs to believe police exist for powerful people and it's not all just punching down.
All these lies seem to exist and get regurgitated because the truth is too awful to contend with.
