Trump knew what he was doing. It's the people who voted for him that are truly hapless. I understand the sentiment of an anti-establishment vote, but you have to be a fool to think that a billionaire tycoon is somehow 'not establishment'. He's assembling the wealthiest cabinet in history from the very swamp he claimed to drain.
So, you choose to believe half the country is stupid instead of admitting you were duped into thinking Trump was a Hitler knockoff. You were persuaded by every news channel on tv and every article on Facebook.
Cognitive dissonance isn't easy to overcome. You want to think that you're the reasonable one who knows whats right. Hard to admit when you're wrong. Easier to continue the delusion.
You didn't address my point, but OK. Cognitive dissonance? That must be that thing Trump supporters feel when their president elect constructs a cabinet of billionaires beholden to the very same 'special interests' he talked about eliminating.
Is it normal that Mike Pence scares me a lot more than Donald Trump
