Here's an interesting and well-written glimpse at #GQP / #TrumpVirus cult 'thinking' (about exit doors?) vis-a-vis TFG...

Trump's idiotic 'trading cards' are the last straw for Republicans

Not only a case study of 'group-think' among the Trump once-faithful, but an excellent compendium of historical facts, one horrid act after another, serving as an excellent list of reasons to re-think there being a modicum of anything positive ever, in Drumpf-world.

Trump's idiotic 'trading cards' are the last straw for Republicans

Since Donald Trump's "Major Announcement" the week before last turned out to be his attempt to sell ridiculous "digital trading cards" featuring his head photoshopped onto cartoon bodies he only wishes he had, Republicans have begun to abandon...

ps, [Dane closes that episode with "time is not on our side", but methinks less panicked approaches my be more efficacious, so yes, dire situation, tightening, but, keep your head about you, and know we have #SOMUCHHEADROOM once we clear out the vast, vast, vast scams of depriving us of the thousands of innovations of clean emancipatory technologies...] we never needed the polluting technologies that enslave us. we could always have had comforts of innovation without the toxicities nor the expense of rents that economically enslave us. never needed. was always a slaver's scam. now see the extent of the scam, so vast...

pps, and we do not need to stay on #easterisland, nor keep trying to expend/destroy all our resources on totems to pray to or to compete with each other.

#cognitiveDissonance

I think cognitive dissonance is one of the great culprits of today's polarization and underlying violence in the world. I just had a very sad exchange here in Diaspora with someone who had so far behaved very politely in all our previous interactions, but resorted to name-calling and dismissive comments when faced with an idea that conflicts with his own practices.

This is just another example of a phenomenon I see very often, both out there in the world, as well as in the Internet. People are generally nice and decent to each other until they are confronted with an idea that puts them in a state of contradiction between what they do and what they believe. In other words, ideas with which they deep down agree with, but that stand in contrast to what their habits.

I think it's a shame, because the response is quite automatic, and therefore outside of most people's control. Yet, it has the very negative effect of distancing people away from each other, and of moving those affected by cognitive dissonance to extremes they would normally not be drawn into. However, such people often prefer to inhabit these extremes rather than confront the ideas that challenge their deeply ingrained habits. And what is worse, in these extremes they meet with other people who, for whatever reason, have also found themselves moved to such extremes. Once people find each other in these extremes, they comfort each other and tell each other it is OK to be in such extremes, further reinforcing a behavior that results in alienation from others with different world-views, and results in the creation of bubbles of thought, where the exchange of different ideas no longer becomes possible.

I wonder what is the solution for this. Perhaps practices like Mindfulness help, so that individuals can notice how they are alienating themselves. Unfortunately, Mindfulness practices are not for everyone, and often are incompatible with the modern way of life we have nowadays.

I'm interested in what you think are possible solutions to this conundrum
