A neuroscientist explains why MAGA supporters refuse to accept Motherfucker's 91 felony charges

Left out a big one, because the fucking morons gave Motherfucker money.

When delving into the perplexing world of politics and the enigmatic figure of Donald Trump, we often encounter a peculiar phenomenon amongst his supporters: a staunch refusal to accept any criminal allegation or felony charge against him, no matter how compelling the evidence.

There are many neurological and psychological reasons for this irrational behavior. But today, we will focus on the mental phenomena I feel are most urgent to explore ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

1. Either devoid of Buyers Remorse, or

just plain oblivious.

2. In for a penny, in for a pound. They have too much emotional energy invested to turn back now.

However, it is my hope that Trump being exposed as the criminal that he is will, at least, make sure that the people who voted for Biden last time, will not have found a new savior in Trump.

3. Sunk Cost Fallacy

4. religious upbringing is child abuse

From the article:
"the children of Christian fundamentalists typically begin to suppress critical thinking at an early age. This is required if one is to accept Biblical stories as literal truth, rather than metaphors for how to live life practically and with purpose. Attributing natural occurrences to mystical causes discourages youth from seeking evidence to back their beliefs."

Nobody likes it when I label religious upbringing as "child abuse" but that's exactly what it is.
Critical thinking is a survival skill. In fact it's the one that separates us from other mammals.
