they’re not beating the cult allegations 🤭
1. Cognitive dissonance: Rationalizing the candidate's actions to reduce discomfort from conflicting beliefs. 2. Confirmation bias: Seeking information that supports the candidate, ignoring war contradictions. 3. Sunk cost fallacy: Continuing support due to prior investment in the candidate. 4. Tribalism: Loyalty to party or group overrides anti-war principles. 5. Framing effect: War framed as necessary sways voters. 6. Motivated reasoning: Accepting flawed arguments to maintain support. Rational shifts, like new security threats or trust in leadership, may also explain changes, but biases often dominate.

“young people speaking their minds… a thousand people in the streets, singing songs and carrying signs…”🎶 -Buffalo Springfield

my fav from yesterday #NoKings :
Sign held by a young woman: “Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are beina dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. They're being treated like criminals. Day and night they're being hunted down, Knocked to the ground and beaten." THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK ACTOBER 1, 1942

Elon pees his pants.
From NYT: As Elon Musk became one of Donald J. Trump's closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities. Mr. Musk's drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.
