True Believers....

True Believers.

Any being, especially any being capable of manipulation and dishonesty against another being, who is willing to accept a conclusion with absolute certainty—and who has arrived at that conclusion by no logical process or through discovery of no evidence; such a person cannot likewise be swayed by any evidence, or any logical thought process, and these people simply act, with little or no reflection as to the morality of their behavior. More specifically, their morality is handed down to them, through the simplest of channels, and they, in turn pass it along as far as it will go, and dissent, questioning, and doubt—the three pillars of science—are ruthlessly stamped out, or else outright ignored.

The followers of Donald Trump are True Believers. When they defend him they do not need to justify inwardly to themselves or wrestle with their consciences about the reality of their choices. No, instead they defer the thinking to the Republican Party and have faith that if the Party had declared that they want him innocent then he is innocent and nothing will be allowed to stand in the way of that belief.
