Today she was lamenting about Trump and all the havoc.
I reminded her about how she praised Trump around the time of the election, specifically saying she approved of “a strong man” and making a fist gesture as she said it.
But I was corrected. Turns out I mis-remembered. She always supported Kamala, who “listens to people” unlike Trump who “is always complaining”.
She’s trying to gaslight you.
Far too many people didn’t have a problem with it in the abstract, but I guess that shit cake isn’t so appetizing once it’s actually been made.
Never ever forget who those people were. They were okay with Trump’s racism, the saber rattling, the promises of tyranny, the misinformation, his chaos, his love of Putin, the weird relationship with Elon Musk, Project 2025, the kleptocracy, the nepotism, the bullying, and even his promises of tariffs. Now that the American markets are crashing and the world hates the US she finally drew the line. She’ll always be a piece of shit and will embrace the next conservative who talks like a dumbass at her level, so long as they don’t go too mask-off I guess.
Rape. Don’t forget the rape and sexual assault. Not accidents, he RAPED at least one woman. Very good chance he molested his daughter.
There is a YouTube videos of her going through her room, her demeanor changes 180 when she gets to her bed. Sick fuck.
You know they’re full shit, they know they’re full of shit.
It doesn’t matter much, it’s the cognitive dissonance hitting her like a train wreck.Different people will use different ways to resolve cognitive dissonance by trying to create some sort of internal consistency.
-
Denial: (we’re here 👋 )
Deny ever supporting him or his policies even though she literally did. -
Rationalization:
Argue she was misled, she never believed he’d take such drastic (yet promised) actions. -
Alter perception:
Convince herself he’s not really a fascist and it’s necessary for some poorly defined greater good -
Selective exposure
Seek out info that aligns with her current view, dismiss anything that contradicts.
I mean it all sucks, but I’d rather deal with people doing #1 or #2 than the other forms of doubling down. 🤷
Build your enemy a golden bridge to retreat across and all that.

As things stand I’ll generally tolerate those people assuming they’re on the right side of things now(e.g. not voting for people with Trump ideology). Certainly seems like we need the support.
They should understand trust is a lot easier to lose than to earn.
Don’t be too strict with these people, it’s better late than never. Pushing them too hard to admit they were wrong might just push them back over to the other side.
No. Ban them for life, theyre poison who don’t give a shit about you.
Doublethink.
