I thought it’d be a synagogue for Galactus.

Many people are giving wrong answers. Cognitive dissonance is NOT simply holding two opposing ideas in your head. Cognitive DISSONANCE is the uneasy feeling people are supposed to get when holding discongruent ideas at the same time.

Some people do not feel cognitive dissonance at all even while openly voicing the opinions. Great examples are all over politics. If one is for women having the freedom to make their own medical decisions, but oppose abortion bejng legal, those are two opposing views that SHOULD trigger unease and make them reconsider one position or the other.

A better example is people that believe laws should apply equally to everyone, but then go on to say Trump should totally be immune. That SHOULD cause dissonance, but it doesn’t for far too many.

You’re being downvoted, but that is EXACTLY how this otherwise benign moment will be weaponized by the right.

Republicans WILL share this as a slander, and the Dems will utterly fail to clarify the truth. They suck at clearing up Republican BS partly because clearing up lies always takes longer than speaking the lie, but the Dems have a track record of falling on their ass in the attempt.

The ratchet effect is real, which is why “enlightened centrism” is nothing but a moronic farce that runs cover for the ratchet mechanism. Republicans are literally vile, selfish pieces of shit that do not know what America stands for (or rather do not like what America stands for), and they MUST be treated as such.

Literal traitors should NEVER get the benefit of any doubt.

I definitely remember some people screeing about Bush and Cheney wanting it, but IIRC, everyone was treating it like suspicion at most.

The Epstein conspiracy theory was accepted FAR more readily, but then that’s basically guaranteed to be true to some degree, even if it was truly just the jailors being incompetent fuckwits that wanted to take justice in to their own hands.

The only thing I remember people being remotely close to believing was that Bush was so incompetent that he allowed a terrorist attack to happen.

It’s not really a theory that Bush was an incompetent fuckwit, but it’s highly debatable if they knew enough to stop it.

I mean, if you cannot pass marbles naturally, you might have other issues a doc should take a look at.

It’s capitalism in the education sector.

They did say “in America”. Perhaps he’s towards the top for confirmed kills, though if we include credible suspicions, there are many terrible people that didn’t deserve even the concept of freedom.

There are several serial killers that are in the hundreds, so no. No they are not.

Aim that thing at the fossil fuel companies that literally gaslighted the public for decades.
