They already believe it's happening to them which is why they refuse to listen to any source of information that isn't from their preferred brand.
There are plenty of intelligent MAGA that just have an innate bias that they want to have confimed so they allow themselves to be convinced by mis/disinformation. To admit you were wrong, or to accept that you misunderstood actually creates a "pain" type response that people are very adverse to, there are also the types that have so entrenched themselves in their political beliefs that it becomes their identity. This form of physiological warfare I mentioned is just one way of allowing these people to maintain their identity and to give them a "valid" defense against inconvenient information.
Over time a person can be chipped away at, but if you always give them an answer then they never have to suffer the thought that they were ever wrong about anything so they can remain on "your side."
My parents split when I was a baby and my mom always seemed to end up with some asshole who didn't make much money and she didn't work. I'd get yelled at for using a whole can of tuna and pasta was pretty much a nightly dinner. The only time we had things like Burger King was when they'd have their $1 whopper deals.
Now, I work in a factory and live in someone's garage but at least I'm not living paycheck to paycheck. I can buy what I want within reason but with my upbringing it's pretty hard to ever justify spending more than $500 on a single item. Upgrading my computer is the only time I spend that kind of money and I can justify it because it's my main source of entertainment.
Thanks for sort of confirming a thought I just had! I never heard of pineapple on a burger, but I started thinking about what might work and soy/teriyaki started coming up in my mind as a potential and then I see this comment lol
I also strongly believe in their use of projecting as a preemptive defensive strategy.
They say "you cheated you cheated you cheated!" so we reply "you're nuts there's no evidence, it's all a conspiracy theory" so then they can cheat later on and turn it around on you when you go to investigate. "Oh now it's true because you lost? Yeah yeah yeah..."
They're always playing psychological warfare with the population... :(
From what I understand about the issue that I read about in a different article it was about software changes made to a program that many states use, PA was one of them.
I think NY is the only place where it is currently being investigated, but if it happened here I don't doubt it happened elsewhere.
"I mean come on... Harharhar. Am I going to chase him down on horseback with my musket? Get real LibErAl MeDiA, it was A jOkE!"
It's like this asshole in Texas years and years ago. He is on stage and says "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat!" The crowds cheer and then he adds "uhhh... You know the nasty media is going to take that out of context, I mean politically dead."
....yeah yeah. You said what you said and the poeple loved it.
Hey MORONS, they were chanting this the whole time. These idiots for Trump going all Pikachu face now are just displaying their ignorance. It's infuriating.
Trump taking a play out of Hillarys book... Picked the worst candidate to boost knowing he'll get wrecked. Newsom has a worse chance than Kamala ffs which means that's the exact thing we're getting and it will be "our" fault for letting the old "moderate" idiots vote for him in the primaries since so many people sit them out...
