Didn't know who Amber Rose was and frankly don't care. Her speech was fabulous. And a pretty girl. And BTW, if Dems are so concerned for the little guys, the black community and the poor why is it political conservatives give significantly more in their charitable giving than liberals? Is it just because libs like to give away other peoples monies but not their own?
You nailed it - other people’s money. My brother is a lib. He once described himself as socially liberal but fiscally conservative. (He’s a multi-millionaire who made a fortune in the stock market.). When he said that, I replied, “Oh, so you want there to be safety net for the needy, you just don’t want to pay for it yourself.” Dead silence followed.
I hope your Christmas/Thanksgiving gathering went well that year . . . .
Great comeback by the way. I might just have to borrow it as it is a common way rich people play both sides without socially offending anyone. You know, it's all about mastering social graces even if it is fake.
Yep, tax the rich, and rich jeans anyone who makes or has mire than me. And someone else should provide me with healthcare, housing and everything else at prices I approve of, or they’re greedy. My job is to complain about everything the grownups haven’t fixed to my satisfaction.
That’s what the bureaucracy is all about: the federal government replaced charity. They don’t want you deciding where your charity goes. Now the libs can give your money to the people they want-their causes and their friends.
End all federal social agencies: DOL, DOEd, HHS, HUD. All of them.
At one time churches provided for the needy. But as usually, the feds want to take over and kick any possibility of religion out of it. Remember - you get your inalienable rights from YOUR CREATOR. And if we can get rid of the creator - we can control all of your rights.
Get this: in the story of the Tower of Babel, when the One World Rulers were trying to build a tower to heaven to become gods, all the people only spoke one language, being under the rule of “political correctness”.
So God comes along and what does He institute? FREE SPEECH! And voila! Their plan was crushed.
The non-profits have become corrupted. A CPA friend used to audit black gospel churches. He wasn't allowed to speak with the bookkeepers. He said we'd all be blown away by the money laundering happening. Yep - the Dems have ruled that game.
I've often thought how much better off we would be if the government got out of the business of "welfare" and returned it to the communities. I remember Dr. Carson being asked what he would do about caring for the poor and he replied "tithe". Brilliant. Can't help but think people helping people would work much better than government "helping" people.
I started writing the same sentence...did not know who Amber Rose was, and was drawn to her amazing beauty when she started to speak. GREAT SPEECH, she seemed to be fully aware of who she is, where she has come from, and where she wants to go. Her life is Her Business. She seemed to be intelligent, savvy and a TRUMP supporter. The end.
Me either. I don't care about the details. If I can find common ground with someone, we can work on that. I used to work with both Muslims and Orthodox Jews, and while both probably considered me an abomination, we got the job done.
Took me awhile to figure this one out. One gets accused of selfishness when you make comments about taxes being too high or just diss taxes in general. They want us to all give to the government and let it decide who gets what. This relieves one of personal responsibility. Ex: Sarah Jessica Parker talking about an aunt who had financial needs that she thought the govt should meet and felt no personal responsibility. (I’ve often said that if all the rich in Hollywood would buy one simple home for the homeless, it would do more good than all the govt programs.)
I believe I should keep as much of my money as legally possible from the gub’mint so I can donate more to causes and people as the Lord leads me. It gets more bang for the buck that way. This is not always easy and is a matter of the heart. I believe it is also better for the receiver because s/he can see clearly that it is not FREE money and perhaps will cause them to use the gift more wisely, especially if it is given one on one by an individual.
Years ago a diehard Democrat uncle asked, “What have the Republicans ever done for you?” Well, I don’t want either party to do anything for me. I want them to uphold the Constitution, protect our borders, and treat all equally under the law and let us live our lives as we see fit! My uncle wanted to get special treatment. Then I heard tell of him going out with a friend on a boat at a State Park and doing something to avoid park fees. That opened my eyes to the probability that most Democrats will “give” only what the govt requires and feel virtuous about it and at the same time lie and cheat to get out of paying the govt at all if possible.
So, YES, “libs like to give away other peoples monies but not their own”!!!
Trump is truly a brother in the black community. 3 baby mamas, unjustly convicted felon, survivor of assassination and loves bling. He is more black than Obama. FJB
Folks, I’m here at the convention as an alternate delegate and this article imo captures it perfectly. Amber Rose brought down the house as did the ‘real Americans’ last night - the white mom and the black mom who both lost their sons- one to fentanyl the other to being murdered on the street.
But we ( Americans) are in a Stanley cup playoff and our side is currently down two game to nuthin’. We MUST win the next Three to win the Cup. Twelve years will give a long enough block of time to Educate and Not Indoctrinate kids - all the way through every College and University that takes a Penny of govt money!
Mr. Chairman, point of order: The Stanley Cups playoffs are all seven game series, so being down 0-2 would mean you’ve gotta win FOUR to go on to the next round OR to win it all. Thank you, and I cede the rest of my time to the Honorable Mr. Mooney from the great state of West By God Virginia…
Just a personal anecdote - my daughter, who is adopted and half Mexican/half white, married a black man. (Talk about multi-cultural grandkids!) He is VERY conservative, a huge fan of Trump and is a small businessman. He knows full well that he and his family were much better off under Trump. He has managed to convince almost all of his relatives to leave the democrat party in the dust. There are a couple of holdouts but he’s slowly reeling them in. Maybe not this year but in 2028… 🙏🏻
I worked for a construction company that built in the poorest Chicago neighborhoods. I got to talk to and know well many of the blacks that lived there. When in a friendly personal conversation I found they had street smarts and common sense and were as conservative as me. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
This election is starting to look like it very well could be beyond the margin of believable cheat we all know the Dems will pull.
What was Clyburn doing in Wisconsin a few weeks ago talking to poll workers in some key areas?
I am also beginning to think much more suspiciously about this weekends attempt on President Trump’s life as the work of just one 20 year old special needs adult. The screw ups that took place are approaching non believability but intent. They can’t stop him any other way.
Everything that has happened to Trump seems to end up (legitimately) looking like a corruption. It appears the person who planned all the lawfare cases also planned this attempt on his life. I hope like hell those involved are found and prosecuted publicly for all to see just how corrupt the leftist government has become.
“I don’t think he actually cares about folks,” said Vance on The Matt Jones Podcast in August 2016. “I think I’m going to vote third party because I can’t stomach Trump. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place,” he told NPR, a far-left rag. A come to Jesus moment changed all that. He saw what Trump did 4 years w/o any help from Obama’s minions.
Trust a man who can admit he was wrong. Conversely, if a man cannot admit mistakes or errors in judgment, he cannot be trusted. Joe Biden, clearly, embodies the latter.
It’s really simple. People want a secure economy, a secure nation, secure neighborhoods and a secure social environment in which to work and raise a family. The rest of what they do is their own business, thank you.
That’s it. They don’t want chaos. The Democrats have repeatedly shown chaos is all they have to offer, along with daily servings of “Orange Man Bad.”
No wonder everyone’s in the Big Unity Tent of Conservatism. And welcome. Americans really do want the same things. Even Amber Rose.
I wish I was smarter so I could understand the ideological shift taking place in America because it is fascinating to see firsthand. In my lifetime, this has only happened twice: Once with Reagan and now with Trump and I believe both candidates did similar things to achieve it.
But, the bottom line is both men were deeply and truly authentic to what they said. Both men were rock solid in their conviction of truth and had no "fake" bones in their bodies. That is rare - and refreshing - today.
The same authenticity can't be found in the GOP or the Democrat parties. Not an ounce. The lies have become so obvious, its like watching MSNBC or Morning Joe. They're a joke, and people are disgusted by it being shoved in their faces.
I'll know Trump's influence has come full circle when mainstream powerhouses finally line up against the biggest fake on planet earth - Barack Hussein Obama. That will be the acid test for the completion of ideological change (i.e.) when a candidate isn't given super powers because of the color of his skin alone.
Interestingly, I think we as a country, haven't really shifted to Socialism - per se. I think the minority of 'highly trained' Marxists (wasn't that what the founder of BLM called herself?) have been working diligently (with the media's help) to change all the meanings of words, intimidate to force 'tolerance', undermine our values and morals, corrupt the "yoots", and corrupt the government to create a Soviet-style bureaucracy and steal from the taxpayer.... while most of us were just trying to lead good, American lives. That last paragraph: BINGO!
This is no time for Matt to get pissy about who casts a vote, and when you’re talking about someone with 4.3M followers, you can bet your Mr. Exclusive Country Club Membership Committee Chairman’s ass she’s gonna bring more than just a few of her peeps with her. Don’t like her kids names plastered on her forehead? Tough don’t look. Don’t like how she makes a living? I bet you’re gonna have some ‘splaining to do when you’re standing in front of St Peter too!
I thought you had more brains than that Matt. Disappointing.
I seriously doubt Walsh expects his own subscribers to pass a moral purity test. What the GOP doesn't need is its own brand of serially offended scolds.
It scares me - hope - it has let me down so often. I keep waiting for the heat of the cloud to scorch the flesh from my bones.
I watch from the outside and see the celebrations and the hope; my personality has been jerked from the last 60 years of politics and dirty tricks. Hope, its like putting on a new pair of boots and trying to pull a twelve in them.
I know many believe that I'm just a negative ninny always sitting with my back to the wall but from my low vantage point I know the lengths some will go to ruin your dinner.
Whatever the future brings, Donald John Trump has given hope to a group of people (myself included) that it maybe possible to save this country, or at least stave of its demise for another hundred years
Thanks Don. You have helped me put this crazy thing called life into perspective.
A life of true faith will require that No matter how many times you get knocked down, you just gotta get right back up, as many times as you have to and right up until He takes you all the way UP!
I'm reading Job right now; one of the commentators said that grabbing onto God and insisting that He help/bless you seems to work even better than just asking for help. (Think Jacob, for ex.) Still pondering that but seems like a kernel of wisdom.
Thinking that our fervent prayers have yielded much of late...in particular miraculous mercy for Pres. Trump in literally (more or less) dodging a bullet.
The more the merrier. The black community is the only community that can fix its problems, just like any other community. The message of the MAGA movement is better for everybody in America including blacks. The good parts of the GOP- not the corporate welfare and the betrayal of American principles by RINOs - are also better for everybody. I don’t discriminate.
Besides, the Dems have been playing the celebrity card forever. It’s good strategy to do the same.
The reality is that if we judge people from different backgrounds as unqualified to join the MAGA movement, it’s not going to be much of a movement. You don’t have to endorse strippers and rappers and Only Fans. And the reality is that most of those people aren’t going to be GOP stalwarts. But some will vote for Trump and we need to be tolerant and encouraging.
I’m not a fan of facial tattoos or gangster rap culture, and I’m not going to endorse that stuff. I’m not going to endorse criminality. But I am a fan of winning, and being more inclusive, and we need a more diverse crowd to do it. Remember as well that the old guard GOP hates white middle class and working class Americans. They didn’t want MAGA. They wanted Poindexter, the MBA corporate lackey. But they couldn’t even do that. They were destined to lose by demographics and popular culture. Also based on what I’ve seen of the dancing on the GOP convention floor, it wouldn’t hurt to get some people with better moves. Either that or hire some orthopedic surgeons for all the impending hip fractures. It’s like a bad parody of white people dancing, only it’s not a parody.
MAGA is a populist movement. Let the people come. Be exemplary and you will produce change. I can think of someone else that many MAGA patriots believe in who would have espoused a similar message, amirite?
And we need to get our young people on board because the work set out before us will take decades!! And it be on them to carry it on. If all they see is old fuddy-duddy self-righteous prigs selling a dead horse well, what would you do?
No - we need to go BIG and that means Big Hearts, not just a big tent, and that’s how we start the work of fixing this country and the culture within it and that can only happen when we open ourselves to the true principles of Liberty and Justice for ALL no matter who you are or where you come from.
This is worthy of conversation. Big tent makes sense from a purely political perspective. AND, if we get to know people we have more opportunity to witness to them. Culture and social issues matter--but where we are now is trying to claw back to any semblance of normalcy against the ravages of Trans/DEI/Antifa/Crime enabling Leftists.
There was a reason that the founders decoupled church and state, while also understanding that our Republic was built for a moral people.
The Stupid Party, mostly RINOs, grifters, and Never Trumpers need to go, they don't get it and in their quest to remain relevant, they simply reveal themselves as fakes and losers.
I personally felt a little acid in my mouth when Nikki came on but Vivek cured it. Heck, I’m a recovered Democrat (2007) too…mainly voting anti-Obama. I went with Trump the first time I heard him say he might run if he thought he could help. Prayers began then.
Somewhere I read a terrific long piece on how Vance and Trump met and built a relationship. Worth the read. Trump was forthright in asking about Vance's former negative comments about Trump; Vance was similarly honest and admitted what he had seen during Pres. Trump's administration convinced him that Pres. Trump is the real deal.
Hasn't it been wonderful to see Warroom continue even while Bannon is in prison.
As a consultant often working on how to effect change, I am quite impressed with how the MAGA movement has been seeded and spread via free thinkers and brave folks in the alternate media. Our fearless leader here Don Surber among them.
Yes, and most of them are like the pharasees in how they interact with others. We need to be more like the Good Samaritan, don't pass by the beaten fellow person on the road, lift them up, care for them and then check on them again.
Awesome column today and thank you for stating this so clearly. I was not happy to hear MW’s words but the rebuttal has been fantastic. There are many of us who do not fit the norm of the old republicans but we just as much as any others in the party want to make America great again and are tired of watching our country circle the drain. You said it perfectly.
This was great and impressive, but Gateway Pundit transcribed it wrong, thus diminishing its power. This was an educated black woman, who said "cognitive dissidence", not "cognitive dissidents"
“Cognitive dissident” works for me. “A person for whom exposure to cognitive dissonance has resulted in rational conclusions contrary to the 'official' narrative of history and/or culture.”
In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is described as the mental disturbance people feel when their beliefs and actions are inconsistent and contradictory, ultimately encouraging some change to align better and reduce this dissonance.
Her words brought a tear to my eye as well. Her message was "Stop listening to the Lying Politicians spewing their hate-filled rhetoric about MAGA and see it for yourself".
Didn't know who Amber Rose was and frankly don't care. Her speech was fabulous. And a pretty girl. And BTW, if Dems are so concerned for the little guys, the black community and the poor why is it political conservatives give significantly more in their charitable giving than liberals? Is it just because libs like to give away other peoples monies but not their own?

Great comeback by the way. I might just have to borrow it as it is a common way rich people play both sides without socially offending anyone. You know, it's all about mastering social graces even if it is fake.
Virtue signaling is all about appearing benevolent, without actually having to do anything yourself.
Excellent!
Sounds like the kind who would never acknowledge their luck in acquiring their fortune... I do all the time in addition to thanking God.
For much of his adult life he has been an atheist, though I think that now he’s leaning more agnostic. Explains a lot.
You don't need God ... until you do. Funny how that works.
Amen Rev.
His Will be done.
Kinda' like a liferaft.
Yep, tax the rich, and rich jeans anyone who makes or has mire than me. And someone else should provide me with healthcare, housing and everything else at prices I approve of, or they’re greedy. My job is to complain about everything the grownups haven’t fixed to my satisfaction.
That’s what the bureaucracy is all about: the federal government replaced charity. They don’t want you deciding where your charity goes. Now the libs can give your money to the people they want-their causes and their friends.

Interesting take, no? 😏
That’s the moral.
Gotta go back and read that. Might put it into my podcast for a 1st Amendment episode... Thanks!
The federal government has bought the church.
Giving tax dollars to churches was a big mistake.
The non-profits have become corrupted. A CPA friend used to audit black gospel churches. He wasn't allowed to speak with the bookkeepers. He said we'd all be blown away by the money laundering happening. Yep - the Dems have ruled that game.
Can not buy what isn't for sale,jus sayin.
Bush presented the program as a way to put accountability back into charity.
Once the churches starting getting the money, accountability was lost.
Now the church pews are empty but the coffers full.
No argument from me D.C.
I've often thought how much better off we would be if the government got out of the business of "welfare" and returned it to the communities.

It seems like they only give away other people's money when they get a cut.
Or should I say when the big guy gets a cut?
Took me awhile to figure this one out. One gets accused of selfishness when you make comments about taxes being too high or just diss taxes in general. They want us to all give to the government and let it decide who gets what. This relieves one of personal responsibility.

You just defined socialism
My personal opinion is they make socialists and communists look like amateurs.
Nailed it.
And she's from South Philly. 👍🏻
Trump is truly a brother in the black community. 3 baby mamas, unjustly convicted felon, survivor of assassination and loves bling. He is more black than Obama. FJB
Ha!
You ain't black if you don't vote Trump.
Lol
😆
Folks, I’m here at the convention as an alternate delegate and this article imo captures it perfectly. Amber Rose brought down the house as did the ‘real Americans’ last night - the white mom and the black mom who both lost their sons- one to fentanyl the other to being murdered on the street.
But we ( Americans) are in a Stanley cup playoff and our side is currently down two game to nuthin’. We MUST win the next Three to win the Cup. Twelve years will give a long enough block of time to Educate and Not Indoctrinate kids - all the way through every College and University that takes a Penny of govt money!
You make me proud Gail W!
Thanks for walking the walk and not just talking the talk.
Thanks. Anyone can do it. C’mon in, the water is fine.
Who said that 99% of success is just showing up? 😊
It’s true! (The other 1% is Never Quitting! Like Trump has shown us.)
Mr. Chairman, point of order: The Stanley Cups playoffs are all seven game series, so being down 0-2 would mean you’ve gotta win FOUR to go on to the next round OR to win it all. Thank you, and I cede the rest of my time to the Honorable Mr. Mooney from the great state of West By God Virginia…
Correction duly noted!
(It shows you how much I know about sports. I thought the Stanley cup was best of FIVE!) 🤣
But best of Seven makes my point even better!
And we’re down Three to Zip!
We have to win the next FOUR in a row to put this country back on a Constitutional track! (or to win the Stanley Cup) 🤣
Nice to see you back, Z.
So nice to see you Z!
Thnx. Nobody ever 'splained it to me like that.
Hi Z!
Missed ya Z
Overhauling the educational system may be even more important than overhauling the IC. After all the DC vermin all come from grade school and college.
Excellent point. Starve them out.
You nailed it. I mean, you and Don.
Thanks. 😊

Amen
Well, not me, but news of your sin is legendary. 😊
My readers are perfect
I’ve noticed that. Great senses of humor too.
Nevertheless, this:
When men crack on each other, they don’t really mean it.
Likewise, when women flatter each other, they don’t really mean it either.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hah!!
Well perfect on paper or in the virutal world! In reality, who knows?
Too many good options. The cat is bi-polar today. I abstain. All of them need to be seriously rebuilt to MAGA
You are right. The poll was tough today. I went with the DOE (both of them). I looked at it as a 2 for one sale.
Hah!

The Big Tent Party of Unity
It’s really simple. People want a secure economy, a secure nation, secure neighborhoods and a secure social environment in which to work and raise a family. The rest of what they do is their own business, thank you.
That’s it. They don’t want chaos. The Democrats have repeatedly shown chaos is all they have to offer, along with daily servings of “Orange Man Bad.”
No wonder everyone’s in the Big Unity Tent of Conservatism. And welcome. Americans really do want the same things. Even Amber Rose.

Thanks Don. You have helped me put this crazy thing called life into perspective.
I know exactly how you feel, Thomas. Thank God for President Trump (and for having his back).
A life of true faith will require that No matter how many times you get knocked down, you just gotta get right back up, as many times as you have to and right up until He takes you all the way UP!
God bless you!!
I'm reading Job right now; one of the commentators said that grabbing onto God and insisting that He help/bless you seems to work even better than just asking for help. (Think Jacob, for ex.) Still pondering that but seems like a kernel of wisdom.
And Like 18:1-8
The importunate widow parable!
Same principle. Be persistent in faith and prayer for what is right and God will hear you.
AMEN!
Thinking that our fervent prayers have yielded much of late...in particular miraculous mercy for Pres. Trump in literally (more or less) dodging a bullet.
I think a lot of us believe the same thing. You can just feel His power!
As a fan of the Vikings since 61 I know exactly how you feel. Just when you get your hopes up they rip your heart out and stomp on it.
Buffalo ‘66.
Thomas, Stay low, move fast, try not to get anything on you. And always keep your faith.
The more the merrier. The black community is the only community that can fix its problems, just like any other community. The message of the MAGA movement is better for everybody in America including blacks. The good parts of the GOP- not the corporate welfare and the betrayal of American principles by RINOs - are also better for everybody. I don’t discriminate.
Besides, the Dems have been playing the celebrity card forever. It’s good strategy to do the same.
The reality is that if we judge people from different backgrounds as unqualified to join the MAGA movement, it’s not going to be much of a movement. You don’t have to endorse strippers and rappers and Only Fans. And the reality is that most of those people aren’t going to be GOP stalwarts. But some will vote for Trump and we need to be tolerant and encouraging.
I’m not a fan of facial tattoos or gangster rap culture, and I’m not going to endorse that stuff. I’m not going to endorse criminality. But I am a fan of winning, and being more inclusive, and we need a more diverse crowd to do it. Remember as well that the old guard GOP hates white middle class and working class Americans. They didn’t want MAGA. They wanted Poindexter, the MBA corporate lackey. But they couldn’t even do that. They were destined to lose by demographics and popular culture. Also based on what I’ve seen of the dancing on the GOP convention floor, it wouldn’t hurt to get some people with better moves. Either that or hire some orthopedic surgeons for all the impending hip fractures. It’s like a bad parody of white people dancing, only it’s not a parody.
MAGA is a populist movement. Let the people come. Be exemplary and you will produce change. I can think of someone else that many MAGA patriots believe in who would have espoused a similar message, amirite?
And we need to get our young people on board because the work set out before us will take decades!! And it be on them to carry it on. If all they see is old fuddy-duddy self-righteous prigs selling a dead horse well, what would you do?
No - we need to go BIG and that means Big Hearts, not just a big tent, and that’s how we start the work of fixing this country and the culture within it and that can only happen when we open ourselves to the true principles of Liberty and Justice for ALL no matter who you are or where you come from.
Let God do the rest.
This is worthy of conversation. Big tent makes sense from a purely political perspective. AND, if we get to know people we have more opportunity to witness to them. Culture and social issues matter--but where we are now is trying to claw back to any semblance of normalcy against the ravages of Trans/DEI/Antifa/Crime enabling Leftists.
There was a reason that the founders decoupled church and state, while also understanding that our Republic was built for a moral people.
Bingo NNTX !
Bravo, Tanto!
The Stupid Party, mostly RINOs, grifters, and Never Trumpers need to go, they don't get it and in their quest to remain relevant, they simply reveal themselves as fakes and losers.
I'd personally walk Romney over to "the dark side" just to get rid of him.
Nikki Haley is speaking.
Sorry, but RINOs are welcome in the big tent.
Mercy produces loyalty.
Trump gets it.
If he didn't we would not have JD.
I personally felt a little acid in my mouth when Nikki came on but Vivek cured it. Heck, I’m a recovered Democrat (2007) too…mainly voting anti-Obama. I went with Trump the first time I heard him say he might run if he thought he could help. Prayers began then.
Somewhere I read a terrific long piece on how Vance and Trump met and built a relationship. Worth the read. Trump was forthright in asking about Vance's former negative comments about Trump; Vance was similarly honest and admitted what he had seen during Pres. Trump's administration convinced him that Pres. Trump is the real deal.
Vance's appearances on Warroom convinced me he was something special.
Hasn't it been wonderful to see Warroom continue even while Bannon is in prison.
As a consultant often working on how to effect change, I am quite impressed with how the MAGA movement has been seeded and spread via free thinkers and brave folks in the alternate media. Our fearless leader here Don Surber among them.
Yes, and most of them are like the pharasees in how they interact with others. We need to be more like the Good Samaritan, don't pass by the beaten fellow person on the road, lift them up, care for them and then check on them again.
Awesome column today and thank you for stating this so clearly. I was not happy to hear MW’s words but the rebuttal has been fantastic. There are many of us who do not fit the norm of the old republicans but we just as much as any others in the party want to make America great again and are tired of watching our country circle the drain. You said it perfectly.
5 * blog today. And the teacher's union has done nothing to help blacks out of poor educations.
Watch the videos in this article: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/powerful-democrat-moved-tears-speakers-rnc-its-just/
The teachers unions are the most dangerously anti American institutions in America today.
Amen J.K.
This was great and impressive, but Gateway Pundit transcribed it wrong, thus diminishing its power. This was an educated black woman, who said "cognitive dissidence", not "cognitive dissidents"
It’s actually cognitive dissonance, meaning a disharmony of thought, or having two competing beliefs at once.
Yes, you are quite right.
“Cognitive dissident” works for me. “A person for whom exposure to cognitive dissonance has resulted in rational conclusions contrary to the 'official' narrative of history and/or culture.”
In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is described as the mental disturbance people feel when their beliefs and actions are inconsistent and contradictory, ultimately encouraging some change to align better and reduce this dissonance.
Correct.
Her words brought a tear to my eye as well. Her message was "Stop listening to the Lying Politicians spewing their hate-filled rhetoric about MAGA and see it for yourself".
