Cognitive Dissonance 😆- when you love some Trump supporters. [View all]
Cog Diss is defined as having diff beliefs or thoughts that are at odds.
I think that has now been turned up to new and dangerous levels in our country.
We progressives and Dems really detest people like Trump, McConnell and Kavanaugh.
But, many of us really love or deeply care about people who voted for and still support them.
In the past, like under W, I think many of us (at least I did) just avoided any political talk with our Bush supporting loved ones.
But now, with Trump being so all invasive and so Trump and the gloating and the insults, etc. etc.
Well, you see where I’m going.
I am very worried that I’m going to lose some very important relationships in my life.
It is becoming harder and harder to just avoid politics with certain people.
Instead I am just avoiding these people on days that I just don’t have the energy to fake it that all is good when I don’t respect these people. Can you still love someone you no longer respect?
Cognitive Dissonance sucks. Thanks Trump. Thanks GOP.
