A 3-time Trump voter w/ buyer's remorse is a perfect example of people believing sh*t simply because they choose to. [View all]
What's noteworthy here isn't the fact that it's another boo hoo hoo woe is me Trump lied to me MAGAt.
I posted this to shine a light on a very common human trait. It's how we get into conflict over religious views, etc...sometimes people CHOOSE to believe something, with no evidence to back it up. And this caller had "reservations" that they ignored, based on the actual events of Trump's life, and they CHOSE TO IGNORE those details because their NEED and DESIRE to BELIEVE won out in the end.
During a Saturday call to C-SPANs Washington Journal, a man from Hawaii, identified only as Thomas, revealed he had backed Donald Trump in all three of his presidential campaigns before reaching his breaking point over the past year.
Its hard for me to say this, Thomas began. I wanted to believe Trump was the real deal for a long time.
The caller said he had lingering doubts because of Trumps business history, but chose to support him anyway.
Now I regret my support for him and I shouldve known better, he said.
