I'll never understand until the day I die how any American can watch their tax dollars used to bomb the shit out of a country, and then their tax dollars used to rebuild that same country.....and see that as a win.
Oil down, markets up, keep believing the illusion and everything will surely be ok.....
Many people don't think. They feel.
When their in-group is going along with something, they go along with it, too. Feels good to them. It's a high.
That's it. That's the problem. It's a big part of why republicans vote against their real-life interests. They're more concerned with chasing the high of being part of the in-group. So, sure, Trump might lose a lot of money and influence and everything, but he's our tribe-mate!
It's stupid. Worse then children. Worse than dogs.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
Now that I think of it, it makes perfect sense that they're always screaming "indoctrination" when left wing ideas like environmentalism or basic kindness are taught to children.... they don't think it's true, just the opposing "feeling" side of their own version of reality. No facts, just feelings. And those feelings go against what their tribe says.
