A lawsuit disputing the results of the 2024 election has moved forward after it was revealed that former Vice President Kamala Harris received no votes a New York county.
I also strongly believe in their use of projecting as a preemptive defensive strategy.
They say “you cheated you cheated you cheated!” so we reply “you’re nuts there’s no evidence, it’s all a conspiracy theory” so then they can cheat later on and turn it around on you when you go to investigate. “Oh now it’s true because you lost? Yeah yeah yeah…”
They’re always playing psychological warfare with the population… :(
They already believe it’s happening to them which is why they refuse to listen to any source of information that isn’t from their preferred brand.
There are plenty of intelligent MAGA that just have an innate bias that they want to have confimed so they allow themselves to be convinced by mis/disinformation. To admit you were wrong, or to accept that you misunderstood actually creates a “pain” type response that people are very adverse to, there are also the types that have so entrenched themselves in their political beliefs that it becomes their identity. This form of physiological warfare I mentioned is just one way of allowing these people to maintain their identity and to give them a “valid” defense against inconvenient information.
Over time a person can be chipped away at, but if you always give them an answer then they never have to suffer the thought that they were ever wrong about anything so they can remain on “your side.”
