I agree to an extent but there’s a certain point where cognitive dissonance can’t be the excuse. We’re long past that. There have been countless wake-up calls, off-ramps, breaking points, etc. if absolutely none of them, not one, has made you stop and reconsider after all this time, then what will?
Frankly, if you’re so ethically and mentally shattered as a human being that cognitive dissonance is enough to make you support a man that has done every possible thing under the sun over the course of 8 years to illustrate what a walking cancer he is on society, then there’s no fundamental difference between you and the actual goose-stepping supporters, because you will ultimately behave exactly the same regardless. There’s nothing anyone can say or do to help you, so why should anyone waste their time concerning themselves with whether or not you’re a true asshole or just mislead.
I always wonder how many people would have to openly say they are part of a new “American White Nationalism group” before it hits critical mass and most of the other white people cower with their tails between their legs and go over to join them? I think the percent is lower than it should be, I really think the threat would only need to look credible to hit that point. So what 30%? Who knows maybe even 25 or 20%.
