    He says:

    I always loved Trump, this is unfair

    That just shows how these idiots think. His opinion on Trump and his legal position regarding citizenship are in fact completely separate. But they don’t see this.

    They think along the lines of “The state shouldn’t punish me, I am on the right side”. That’s the sort of underlying mental model of the world they have. It’s unfathomable.

        History will remember these people in the same way it remembers those that tried to justify the slave trade.

        They’re completely unable to separate desire from reality. They want the situation to be x so they believe that it is x. They cannot understand that reality doesn’t necessarily map to their desires. Which makes them considerably less intelligent than squirrels, who understand that, which is why they spend all summer stockpiling food.

      I’m starting to wonder if this thinking goes the other way.

      Do people like this also feel vulnerable if their candidate isn’t running things? Like, did Obama or Biden feel like a legitimate threat while they were in office?
