    I still hear plenty of people say that not only are they the same but what is happening right now would have happened regardless who was president.

    I simply do not understand the world these ppl live in

      Cognitive dissonance is a very real thing. I think it’s a defense mechanism since these people need to believe the group who reflects their beliefs and values must but the best option, bending their (perception of) reality to their opinions rather than the other way around.

      Don’t know these people could live with themselves if they suddenly realized the people they support have no interest in solving their problems and just using them.

      No you do understand the world they live in. The problem is they don’t understand the world they live in
