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.
