Trump is flaunting his corruption. Is it changing what the US thinks of scandal?

President has shouted from rooftops what his predecessors would have tried to cover up for fear of ending their careers
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
As the Watergate scandal unfolded, new editions of the Washington Post newspaper were rushed over to the White House at night so Richard Nixon, the president, could brace for each devastating revelation.

Half a century later, Donald Trump does not seem to fear explosive front page headlines or shocking disclosures of malfeasance. Usually because he has written them himself.

Trump is a criminal. He flaunts his crimes in a manner where our society thinks his daily confessions are a norm. THEY ARE NOT. HE IS A CRIMINAL.

Accepting the truth, that he is a criminal who acts in thuggish, corrupt, illegal, immoral ways, is a bridge too far for trumples. They can't even admit he tried to steal the election in 2020.

What can we do about that? IMO, the only thing is to continue to point out the truth. Doing so makes it increasingly difficult for trumples to maintain belief in their alternative reality. Perhaps not with their on line personalities........but hopefully in their real lives.

What you're doing is not working. Dems are at 19% approval, and Republicans lead on the major kitchen table issues, ie; Economy, Immigration, and Crime. So, your advice is to 'double down' and keep telling the people they are wrong. And you seriously think that's going to work for you?

IOW, keep doing the same things, and expecting a different result....You know what that's called right?

So, a few things about your reply. 1. What I'm doing has nothing to do with Dem's approval rating. 2. Polls show Repub's are losing on virtually all the kitchen table issues. 3. I'm not telling people they are wrong as much as providing factual information in conflict with their beliefs. 4. I don't know what option there is other than confronting lies with the truth. Not an opposing ideology, demonstrable truth.

Wrong. Factually, while Trump may be under water by a couple points, CNN & NBC both showed Republicans leading on all three.

Thread 'The cognitive dissonance of the public's opinion towards Dem's.'

Quite a bit has been made by the board's conservatives about the Dem party's dismal polling numbers of late. They are frequently cited in response to it being pointed out trump's approval rating has sunken to new lows.
Why do I refer to this phenomenon as creating cognitive dissonance? Here's why.
