  • I don’t want to get my hopes up, but there is a very real possibility that there’s a lot of cognitive dissonance building up in the base between what their parents and society taught them was being a decent fucking human being and all the stances they’ve had to rationalize in order to believe they’re right to have supported Trump. That tension makes them unhappy and makes them double down on the more immediate, more personal decisions again and again.

    But once you give them an out, a way to justify a correction to say “well I was for him when he was just ‘telling it like it is’ but now that I found out he’s a pedophile, well now mama didn’t raise me to let a sin like that slide…”

    I’m hoping this breaks open the floodgates.
