Trump supporters remind me of the "horse's tail" story by Abe Lincoln.

They are a cult. They believe their Leader would never lie, cheat, or steal, and he certainly would not commit espionage against the country he loves. No amount of evidence will convince them otherwise. Are they gullible?

But, Abe was having a discussion with a gentleman and Abe asked him, "If we call that horse's tail a leg, how many legs would that horse have?"

The gentleman replied, "If we call it's tail a leg, it would have 5 legs".

"No", Abe said. "Calling a horse's tail a leg does not make it so".

These folks in the Cult say some of the wildest and craziest sh*t you have ever heard. And they believe it. It doesn't matter if they can be proven wrong. It doesn't matter what argument is made. They believe whatever is necessary to remain in good standing with their Cult Leader.

1. I think it's more like they refuse to admit they're wrong.

I've known a fair amount of people who can't ever see themselves being wrong or making a mistake. They will hang on to their beliefs even if they bite them in the ass. It's always the others who are wrong. It's galaxy-class stubbornness, probably fueled by galaxy-class lack of self confidence.
