“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is
extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief—they will rationalize,
ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”

@BackWoodsIL@JDCocchiarella Use some critical thinking here. Taking away safety nets hurts american people. That's the argument. No strawmen arguments.
Amazon: Tariffs are making things more expensive.
White House: No they aren’t.
Amazon: *shows prices with tariffs*
White House: This is a hostile and political act!
A Christian movement that demands its fellow citizens be held accountable to the strictest of Biblical laws while simultaneously not wanting its preferred presidential candidate to be held accountable to any law is embodying the height of both political and religious hypocrisy.
10 years ago, President Obama wore a tan suit during a press conference and everyone lost their minds. Rep Peter King (R-NY) said, “There's no way any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday.”
Yesterday, former President Trump was convicted of defaming E. Jean Carroll, after being found liable of sexually abusing her last year, and ordered to pay her $83.3M. Also yesterday, former Trump adviser Peter Navarro was sentenced to prison for contempt of court. Navarro’s is just 1 of over 700 prison sentences that have come from efforts to help Trump overturn the 2020 election.
Obama’s tan suit owned the news cycle for a week, but in a day or two we won’t be talking about a current presidential nominee’s sexual abuse convictions or prison time for attempting to overthrow democracy anymore because something even more outrageous will have happened. This is what I mean when I say we’re living through “unprecedented times.”

Clarence Thomas has been jet-setting around the globe for decades with a Republican megadonor & Nazi memorabilia collector who was paying his grandnephew’s tuition, his mother’s mortgage & his wife’s advocacy group.
Samuel Alito flew to Alaska for a luxury fishing excursion aboard the private jet of a hedge fund billionaire who repeatedly has interests before the court.
And no one even knows who the hell paid off ‘I like beer’ Brett Kavanaugh’s $200,000 credit card debt, his $92,000 in country club fees, and his $1.2 million mortgage.
President Biden isn’t the one undermining the legitimacy of the court.
They’re doing that all by themselves.
Responding with “thoughts and prayers” in the face of perpetual gun violence while we do nothing to prevent it only reveals that we are not actually thinking or praying.
Authentic thinking and praying never leads to apathy in the face of injustice.
It is spiritualizing apathy.
