Pretty much sums up the Pollyanna Republicans' raison d'être.
"Please, Blue Fairy, I voted for the Republican candidate again; he will save us from those Democrats, right?"
People have gotten so used to compromising the small issues they think nothing of cutting into the big ones. Most people in America have not the slightest idea of what they actually believe because it’s all become negotiable.
The last election was filled with it. The Romney fiasco almost as bad. There sat a man with literally nothing conservative in his record. Nothing. I have challenged the lesser evil crew to present ANYTHING that could on a fog filled rainy night in a hurricane be mistaken even remotely as conservative in his record.
No takers yet.
And yet somehow millions of people convinced themselves that this man was a better option than Barry. ALL of that based SOLELY on their ‘pray to the Blue Fairy’ fantasy that he would ‘grow into the office’ and completely reverse his Entire. Documented. Life.
And why wouldn’t they? They regularly convince themselves of everything so they don’t actually have to believe in anything. Because then they’d have to man up and stand behind those beliefs. Mitt was simply one more thing to make an excuse for since all they have to do is pretend it didn’t happen and there’s no downside. On the upside they can spout the utter hogwash that they tried to save America from Barry and feel themselves justified.
Most psych types refer to that as ‘rationalizing’.
