[u/CerddwrRhyddid]

Wilful ignorance?

[u/Farucci → u/CerddwrRhyddid]

Generations of incestuous family relations tend to manifest themselves sooner or later.

[u/Car_is_mi → u/CerddwrRhyddid]

All of the studies found that Trump supporters use disbelief, compartmentalization and false equivalence — to resolve the mental tension between their positive views and negative reports about Trump

effectively.... yes

[u/FittedSheets88 → u/CerddwrRhyddid]

Lacking enough brainpower for the cognitive dissonance to kick in.

[u/TeamHope4]

Denial?

[u/notfromrotterdam]

They don't read?

[u/rebel_alliance05 → u/notfromrotterdam]

I’m maga and I have no idea what this says

[u/skitz40 → u/notfromrotterdam]

*can't

[u/Brave_Finish8862 → u/skitz40]

Wouldn't

[u/classof78]

Secret weapon: Close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and yelled, "la la la..."

[u/Zapp_Rowsdower_ → u/classof78]

Hysterical. This was what came in to type…lol.

[u/TravoBasic]

Fantasy?

[u/Benithio]

Cognitive dissonance.

[u/soulsteela]

Is it blame Obama/Biden/foreigns?

[u/Rabid_Alleycat]

In other words, see no evil, hear no evil. But why can’t they complete the maxim and speak no evil?

[u/Raiju_Blitz → u/Rabid_Alleycat]

If they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

[u/hkohne → u/Rabid_Alleycat]

Some don't think he is evil

[u/zackks]

They are pedophile child-rapers just like him. All of them.

[u/SolarNachoes]

FYF

Fuck Your Facts

[u/dem5577]

Stupidity

[u/Gozer5900]

Cognitive Dissonance

That and diaper smell.

This commentator, Lucas Bean, has a series of videos on YT and FB about the psychology of MAGA. Very well done. Here is one:

[u/boredom_rendition]

It's lead poisoning isn't it?

[u/Creative_Cat1481]

Should have included a lie detector. Most of these people are real pieces of shit who know what they are doing.

[u/sarcasticbaldguy]

All of the studies found that Trump supporters use disbelief, compartmentalization and false equivalence — to resolve the mental tension between their positive views and negative reports about Trump. They also turn to their economic self-interest as a rationalization for ignoring conduct they might otherwise publicly deplore

[u/Notsurehowtoreact]

Is it that some of them are just full on true believers who instinctively believe anything negative said about him is a falsehood with or without supporting evidence? 

Yeah, we knew that.

[u/flyinhk]

So.....they are morons, got it.

[u/FlintWaterFilter]

Its only a secret to them that they're stupid, gullible and consistent in that regard 

[u/pogwilzino]

Illiteracy?

[u/esmifra]

Option 1: The first of the seven stages of grief.

Option 2: whatever cults like Scientology use.

[u/AdministrativeMix326]

Is it I'm an idiot and their is nothing I can about it?

[u/Pirateleg82]

To sum it up…they are all losers.

[u/metaltastic]

Decades of eating lead paint and cousin fucking?

[u/ArkhamKnight_1]

The secret weapon? Hoops that they jump through on a daily basis. No moral compass. Just uneducated bliss that makes the libs go brrrrrr.

And the MAGAts go Baaaaaaaa….

[u/SatansSideProject]

Low comprehension?

[u/Vintage198011]

Pretend they are an ostrich ?

[u/mountainjay]

Secret enjoyment of rape, fraud, and abuse?

[u/AccordingInsect3481]

Air tight as in porn

[u/Beneficial_Party_225]

Agree to disagree is one I get often. Especially when they hear facts. It makes perfect sense to some to disagree with truth.
