Trumpers sure are triggered. The concept that their bombastic leader is being regularly chastised by a judge in a proceeding where jail is the potential end game, is not a potential reality they are able to grasp. They also see footage of him sleeping in court - and don't know what to make of that, either. I've studied cognitive dissonance a great deal. This is the first time I've ever smelled it.
@OurShallowState They also appear to not understand what the trial is about. They want to just make it about sex and nothing about money laundering or suppression of information before an election, just lefties being mean
@DebbieHemenway That's the echo chamber they tune into combined with the aforementioned cognitive dissonance.
@OurShallowState @DebbieHemenway I suspect that cognitive dissonance and violent tendencies go hand in hand?
@OurShallowState @DebbieHemenway Robin Hood complex at play here. They think Trump beats the system, dodges taxes, bangs porn stars etc The minute you buy this concept your world view is different. The other side *must* be evil right? People romanticise outlaws. They love him *because* he crimes.
@OurShallowState @DebbieHemenway I'm fairness, nearly *all* the major media keep focusing on those aspects, because it brings the eyeballs.
@OurShallowState @DebbieHemenway If they contrive a controlled release stimulant patch, he could get his “boosts” without being seen to do so. I think they fear he’ll lose it, and the judge will have no other choice than to jail him for contempt.

@OurShallowState @DebbieHemenway They’ve been in their cult bubble since 2015!
@OurShallowState @DebbieHemenway Victimhood is the only game in town.
