cognitive dissonance...that's all they have...


because, and they know, if they pay attention to reality, their entire world that they built up will collapse.

they believe that by holding on to something so hard, it will become real.

they know, deep down, it's fucked up. they know deep down it's not real, but when you have invested so much time in something, it becomes almost impossible to give up.

this is what we are dealing with.

part of me, honestly believes, this is what drives them not taking the vaccine.

because, again, the vaccine represents reality and that is something they are not wanting to face psychologically.

it really is a death cult.

I forgot to include the concept of heartbreak and how it relates to the trumpers.

it goes like this: the level of heartbreak is directly related to the level of commitment/time invested. The longer you are committed to something and the level of emotional support you have devoted to something is directly proportional to the level of heartbreak when you lose that something or something.

we are watching the last throws of a cult that has devoted all of themselves to a leader, who lost, that that promised them the moon.
