I'm old enough to know that some ppl are beyond help. they cannot understand and comprehend obvious consequences even if explained to them in detail and logical connections. they simply do not grasp reality until it literally and metaphorically hits them in the face. that's the average FJB supporter. they believe the bs on tv, even tho it can be explained how they are being lied to and their "feel good, but obviously disastrous" policies will lead to the inevitable....their brains cannot fathom that they are wrong.
Then when reality proves them wrong, they instantly move to excusing their actions that lead to the obvious consequences because they believed they were right at the time.... as if that is a real argument. massive egos combined with low critical thinking skills is how the human race appears to be killing itself.
Perfect description of cognitive dissonance.
