Former President Donald Trump, fresh off his third appearance in court as a criminal defendant, delivered a speech full of defiance and bluster on Friday night, insulting prosecutors and declaring that the charges he faces only help his 2024 presidential campaign.
Amazingly, people will still support him. A huge reason is that not supporting him would be admitting they were wrong.
After Nixon resigned, 30% of people still supported him.
After World War II, 30% of Germans still supported Hitler.
For some people, admitting they were wrong is fucking hard, and more people will pretend everything is good in order to not admit they were wrong. So even though it is clear he’s an insane grifter who crimes like a madman, admitting it means the libs were right and they were wrong.
Admitting being wrong is too much to do.
