You can't get through to these Trumptards through logic and/or reason.You don't know shit about anything. She wasn't lying. She was passing along the assessment by our intelligence agencies, who started with mixed Intel, but then settled on the video protest narrative. About 2 weeks later, obtaining more Intel, the CIA determined it was a terrorist attack and the administration stopped talking about the video spurring a protest.
That is just the nature of cult mentality.
It is how an entire nation of otherwise good people (Germans) followed a megalomaniac tyrant (Adolph Hitler) over a cliff like lemmings in the 1930's and how 909 people died drinking poisoned Kool-aid in 1979 in Jonestown, Guyana.
Once people are as far gone past the point of no return as your average MAGAT nothing but a forced intervention and a strong deprogramming procedure can bring them back to reality.
Otherwise they just have to hit "rock bottom" with their delusions....smashing against their own, proverbial "brick wall" where their faulty logic fails them totally and completely and their own sense of betrayal and humiliation (may) just open them up to another more rational way of thinking.
Until then they are going to thrash and flail about....whining and bleating about their idolized cult figure (Trump) being some kind of "victim" of one whacko conspiracy theory after another.
They will attack each and every witness that comes out speaking against Trump as a "liar/politically motivated/agent of the deep state/commie/socialist/RHINO/ .....blah....blah....blah, until pretty much every single person in the world is "lying" and Donald Trump and his lackeys are the ONLY ones that can be trusted.
Two things come to mind when dealing with these people:
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE,
and
The Dunning Kruger effect
As far as Dunning Kruger goes my thinking is that Trumptards fit the definition perfectly because let's face it, if you are a Republican voter to begin with you have to be pretty LOW on the cognitive spectrum.....but if you are clueless enough to fall for a cheap grifter like Trump....then you're probably even BELOW that already low threshold.
