1. Apparently the dumb as a rock, hand-job bimbo doesn't realize she's insulting trump.

How much longer does the American public have to be subjected to the public, self-humiliations of Rep. Bobo who not only misunderstood the term she attempted to use, she also miss-pronounced it?

4. My cousin lives in Colorado and is panicked since Boebert wants to run in her district

But last I heard she is not doing well against the competition.

[brush]

5. That's good to hear.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Boebert's plan was to run in the nearby larger district, where she doesn't live, because she'd have an easier time

But she didn't count on having that amount of competition. It's an empty seat since Rep. Ken Buck is retiring. However, Boebert faces 5 other Republicans in the June 25th primary.

7. Definitely not the brightest crayons.

27. She's very sharp. Like a bowling ball is

[burrowowl]

2. LOL!

[no_hypocrisy]

3. How about YOU???

[mahina]

8. Well, did he change his behavior or his attitude?

with serious cognitive dissonance, it’s one or the other.

Oh, Boebert, you walking SNL skit

9. The term is "cognitive dissonance" and it has nothing to do with competency evaluations.

Cognitive dissonance is a theory developed by famous psychologist Leon Festinger. (He also conducted the first research on cult behavior which is connected to his ideas about cognitive dissonance as you will see.)

Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. People like consistency in their attitudes and perceptions, so this conflict causes unpleasant feelings of unease or discomfort. To reduce this discomfort people then alter their thoughts and attitudes. They reject or explain away new information. And begin to rationalize their behavior.

We see his happen all the time with the Trump cult members. They twist themselves into knots praising Trump and rejecting all of the very damning facts about him as lies. Or they embrace the damning facts and make them virtues. Their mental gymnastics are astounding.

Competency evaluations are something altogether different. A person undergoes a formal evaluation, a clinical interview and asked to complete pencil and paper tests, standardized tests to determine cognitive functioning compared to their same age peer group.

18. He was interviewed for the Hidden Brain show on NPR - it's available on its podcast.

It's a fantastic interview and he's one of those people you could listen to for hours and wish you had more hours with him.

19. Do you mean the episode with Dr. Zimbardo who showed some clips of Festinger?

Festinger died in 1989.

Dr. Phillip Zimbardo is another famous psychologist who studied why good people do bad things.
His Stanford Prison experiment is famous, normal subjects were asked to pretend to be prison guards, they quickly descend into violence and abuse.

[Probatim]

21. I stand corrected - it was Eliot Aronson.

He trained under Festinger and Maslow. It originally aired on 9/18/23.

[Irish_Dem]

22. Thanks

Aronson is another well known social psychologist.

10. Well he did pass one test

[COL Mustard]

11. So he says

I’m not sure he has enough firing neurons to have done that!

[mopinko]

13. no, he flunked.

it’s always 5 UNRELATED words.

[twodogsbarking]

15. Like banana, sunrise, chair. I think those were my last three when I went for my annual.

[Irish_Dem]

20. You still remembered them!

So both short and long term memory are intact!

[bucolic_frolic]

12. I always knew Boebert was part of the "collective unconscience"

[lastlib]

14. Thank the stars she doesn't play with subatomic particles......

That is GOB-smackingly, cosmically STOOPID! (IOW, she's living up to expectations.)

[marble falls]

16. She meant, of course, "Cognitive Dissonance Training."

[Rhiannon12866]

17. My cousin in Colorado was all upset since Boebert announced plans to run in her district after the serving Rep. retired

Though Boebert doesn't even live there. She thought it would be an easier win, but now she faces the primary in June and FIVE other Republicans are running, and she's not doing well. So it looks like her fellow female clown in Congress may be performing alone after this fall. And my cousin will be relieved.

[marble falls]

28. As will we all!

[Wonder Why]

23. The greater the distance, the less malicious he sounds? Send him to Mars.

[Martin68]

24. Trump doesn't have enough cognition left to experience "cognitive dissidence."

[burrowowl]

25. Yes, they both have no cognition!

[RockRaven]

26. I kind of love how the one phrase exposes multiple layers of ignorance

and/or stupidity... It is very elegant, in its own way.
