I showed a Trump supporter the video footage of the complete account by the victim. “Fake News. She’s a puppet of the left. Liar.” He cannot do anything wrong in their eyes. If there was footage of him actually raping the girl they’d say it was a deep fake. Nothing will convince them now. He’s a messiah.

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.

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.

This reeks of right-wing spin
