And have gone back to being a major cynic, you could very likely be correct. Cognitive Dissonance and Cults are a very powerful thing. If they haven’t turned on him for all the crazy nominees he’s put up, I believe I am seeing a trend. It is very difficult to break people from a cult and we have a lot of cult followers. I’m just glad there’s a few people like all of you at DU who can see the craziness that is going on. People do not like to admit to making horrible mistakes that end up majorly biting them in the ass.
