The power of rationalization

Let's take a look at the policies and beliefs of the majority of Republicans.

Anti-choice, which translates to being against women's health care.

Anti-LBGTQ, which is interesting, because those folks don't have a choice.

Anti-reasonable gun control. Interesting since gun deaths are the No. 1 cause of childhood deaths.

Anti-vaccination, yet pro-book banning.

Struggle to believe in climate change. Really.

Yet the majority of Republicans believe in an ex-president who tried to destroy our democracy, was convicted of sexual assault, twice impeached, has four open indictments against him, was the first president since George H.W. Bush to not get elected to a second term, and played a key role in the state of Georgia electing two Democratic senators. All of this on top of being a habitual liar and fitting the classic definition of a narcissist. Makes one wonder about the power of rationalization and what people are thinking.

Must be Hunter Biden's fault.
