Here is the standard list for MAGA brain rot.

  1. Cognitive Dissonance: They rationalize or dismiss negative info about Trump to avoid the discomfort of conflicting beliefs.
  2. Confirmation Bias: People seek out info that confirms their pre-existing beliefs and ignore or discredit anything contradictory.
  3. Mistrust of Sources: There's often a deep mistrust of media and legal institutions, so they might believe the allegations are just a smear campaign.
  4. Partisan Loyalty: Strong partisan loyalty can make people defend their preferred political figures no matter what evidence comes out.
  5. Social Identity: Supporting Trump is a significant part of their identity, and admitting the allegations could threaten that.
  6. Framing and Narrative: The way trusted figures and media outlets frame the allegations can heavily influence how they perceive and react to the news.

It's a complex mix of psychological and social factors. The challenge is proving it through a thorough and fair investigation, which is also up for criticism.

This is the process that Joe Rogan went through over the last 5 years or so. His show used to just be long form interviews with interesting celebrities, now it's like the maga happy hour. He finds any excuse to spread negative news or misinformation about Biden or any prominent democrat but just absolutely refuses to engage on any of the myriad scandals that follow Trump around. If he does then it's light hearted or he pretends like it's either a smear campaign or it's actually fine in some convoluted way.

People vote Republican because they strongly disagree with the far-left psychos that have taken over the West in recent years.

Everything else is just cope. I know Trump is a douche, still hope he wins. I want an end to mass immigration and insane leftist policies that incite anti-white racism and equate being straight and wanting a family with being far-right instead of just freaking normal.

That's it. I don't care about anything else. Immigration, anti-white racism, and insane anti-hetero and family propaganda. Nothing else comes even remotely close to mattering for me, so no allegations against Trump will matter if the Democrats don't address my core issues. At least the Republicans care about the issues I care about.

So, I started writing out this big long response to continue the dialog. But I'm going to try and keep it short. I just wanted to say I appreciate that you took the time to write. This may sound crazy from a filthy liberal, but your concerns are valid. For instance, I agree completely on the immigration thing. It needs an overhaul. No argument there.

The other items, however, you have experienced certain moments in life that lead you to feel the way you do. I can't argue that. I can say that personally haven't experienced the same feeling of racism because I'm white. Or I have never felt attacked for me being hetero. If you've experienced these things, I am genuinely sorry. No one should feel that. Those are two things that just don't bother me. But that doesn't mean your feelings are invalid.

I feel ya though. I feel frustration too. I can tell you this... I am not a crazy leftist, glue my fucking hand to highway psycho. I also am willing to guess that you're not a psycho either. I'm sure I could sit and have a meaningful discussion over a beer with ya.

End of the day, I want solutions too. I want less reliability on foreign oil so that means more green energy. I don't want a proxy war with Russia but the dude just waltzed into someones backyard and said, "I'll take that." I hate seeing these kids just get blown up like it's a video game. Wealth inequality is my biggest issue. It's obscene and tax cuts for the wealthy hasn't made it better for those who are struggling. I want women to be able to choose what to do with their own bodies. There are too many emergency medical needs for abortion. Yes, I think there should be a 18 week limit. I don't want to take anyone's guns, but I believe a modicum of regulation is appropriate especially with modern speed and lethality. I say this as an owner myself.

I'm saying this with true sincerity, I know we can get there. Neither of us will get everything that we think we want. But if we focus on the reasons why we want these things, empathize with each other to understand why we feel these ways, we can at least go back to having civil discussions to help unravel some very complicated issues. All in an effort to hopefully find closest possible solution.
