Today she was lamenting about Trump and all the havoc.

I reminded her about how she praised Trump around the time of the election, specifically saying she approved of “a strong man” and making a fist gesture as she said it.

But I was corrected. Turns out I mis-remembered. She always supported Kamala, who “listens to people” unlike Trump who “is always complaining”.

Never ever forget who those people were. They were okay with Trump’s racism, the saber rattling, the promises of tyranny, the misinformation, his chaos, his love of Putin, the weird relationship with Elon Musk, Project 2025, the kleptocracy, the nepotism, the bullying, and even his promises of tariffs. Now that the American markets are crashing and the world hates the US she finally drew the line. She’ll always be a piece of shit and will embrace the next conservative who talks like a dumbass at her level, so long as they don’t go too mask-off I guess.

Rape. Don’t forget the rape and sexual assault. Not accidents, he RAPED at least one woman. Very good chance he molested his daughter.

There is a YouTube videos of her going through her room, her demeanor changes 180 when she gets to her bed. Sick fuck.

I mean there is a cut right there. The shots could have been shot in the other order or shot ten minutes apart, and anything could have happened in the interval. This is stretching so hard, you have to REALLY want to believe it for it to seem credible. Ie, you’re lying to yourself. I’m not saying nothing happened to her, I’m saying this is not evidence any reasonable person would accept.

Dude, he’s been caught talking about how he wants to fuck her. And the old pics of them? Lets be real. One thing is a coincidence, but 17 accusers, one guilty verdict, pictures, the way he talks to women, his wife’s avoidance to even hold his hand? YOU have to be lying yourself to think all these red flags mean nothing. Epstein Island? Walking in on teens dressing? Get real.

Oh this is a thing that happens, and she might not even be doing it on purpose.

I was reading a book about how people change their minds, and it mentioned some study of long term belief. Many people who changed their mind about big things like abortion seemingly legitimately could not remember ever having the opposite opinion.

I think it’s because the ego is fragile, and people don’t like admitting fault.

You know they’re full shit, they know they’re full of shit.
It doesn’t matter much, it’s the cognitive dissonance hitting her like a train wreck.

Different people will use different ways to resolve cognitive dissonance by trying to create some sort of internal consistency.

  1. Denial: (we’re here 👋 )
    Deny ever supporting him or his policies even though she literally did.

  2. Rationalization:
    Argue she was misled, she never believed he’d take such drastic (yet promised) actions.

  3. Alter perception:
    Convince herself he’s not really a fascist and it’s necessary for some poorly defined greater good

  4. Selective exposure
    Seek out info that aligns with her current view, dismiss anything that contradicts.

I mean it all sucks, but I’d rather deal with people doing #1 or #2 than the other forms of doubling down. 🤷

Build your enemy a golden bridge to retreat across and all that.

Honestly, people who are pretending they never supported trump should be embraced right now. The people who stand by him are the ones who we ought to direct our fury at.
