C'mon, Trumpers, how much longer will you fall for the con? Oh, that long . . .

I won’t bother reasoning with you.

As I’ve said before in this space, it’s my opinion that you folks who support Donald Trump are, by definition, incapable of that function, so it’s foolish to even try. You may think that’s harsh. I think it’s timesaving.

But I do have a question for you: Don’t you feel kind of stupid right now? Doesn’t the revelation that it was all a con leave you feeling like a sucker? Doesn’t simple human pride have you smarting, at least a little bit?

Or maybe you have no idea what I’m talking about. After all, Fox “News” and other elements of the conservative media omniplex have studiously avoided giving much attention to the hearings of the House select committee investigating the attempted coup of Jan. 6, 2021. For the rest of us, they’ve become must-see TV, but you’ve likely been shielded from them.

6. Thank you. I hadn't heard of this until your post.

I looked it up and posted it as a response on Facebook. A local news anchor who has a ton of followers countrywide. He posted something the Jan 6 Commission and I posted the below. I’ve gotten 19 likes including by the original poster himself.



sunk-cost fallacy
noun
the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.

7. I'm glad it was helpful.

I fall into this every time I wait on hold on the phone for a long time. Give up, or stick with it.

2. Excellent piece.

As I repeatedly ask into the cult-a-sphere
“As a grown ass adult have ever considered that you are being lied to?”
