What you’re witnessing here is described in When Prophecy Fails, a study on cults and how they justify continued belief after experiencing events that should disprove their belief.
Cult members will simply invent new reasons to continue their belief and remove the cognitive dissonance they may feel, which oddly results in a further entrenched belief, instead of a weakened one.
The good news is the further down this rabbit hole you fall, the harder you make your own life. Ignoring reality always makes life more difficult. You can only effectively and safely ignore reality if you’re filthy rich, which I’m thinking this bridge troll is not.
We get mad because we see them sticking their heads in the sand and ignoring problems, but they’re really just creating more problems for themselves.
I try to focus on that to give me some joy in dark times.
I’ve watched a few of my old friends who were hardcore right wingers life fall apart recently. They are all losing their jobs and moving in with their parents or just dissapearing it seems…
I don’t get their reasoning. I don’t care which political party they belong to. Everyone should be held to the same principles and rules.
They don’t understand that because they’re a tribe who can’t comprehend anything other than blind loyalty to the party.
“The only moral pedophilia is my pedophilia”

“I’m not a pedophile, I just like to diddle kids!”
Woah treat everyone equally? That’s some woke liberal mindset right there.
True.
But we’re dealing with children trapped in adult bodies. These people never fully matured into functional adults. They won’t play fair, because they don’t see the value in doing so, because they’re effectively children.
Because to them everything is a competition that they have to be winning.
Their reasoning is because we have never been at war with EastAsia.
Shock We’ve ALWAYS been with war with East Asia (or at least since Tuesday)!
“Kathy Ultra MAGA”
I’m trying to imagine publicly calling myself “Ultra Lib” and it’s so cringy that I’m embarrassed despite sitting alone at my computer.
These people are capital “P” Pathetic. But that’s what cultists are.
Darkfuture Ultra Communist
Nice meme here 👌
The big difference is that dems would expect anyone in the files that is guilty of crimes would be prosecuted correctly, and republicans would expect everyone except them to be prosecuted.
