    “I don’t like the man as a human being. I don’t like his brashness. I don’t like his roughness. I don’t like how he types out his texts all capital as if he’s yelling at everybody. But what I approve of is what he is doing to try and get the country on track,” Candela said.

    So basically “I don’t like anything about the man, but I still approve of his…” gestures vaguely. Sunk cost fallacy on full display, head firmly entrenched beneath sand.

    It’s okay to admit you were wrong.

      That man is ignorant tho…

      He also said:

      “Still paying $5 for Oreos,” he said. But he’s willing to be patient: “I would expect it to be different by the time his four years are up.”

      Like, if the first thought that comes to your head is the fucking cost of goddamn oreos, and that’s what you’re waiting to see if it improves…

      Then no amount of logic is going to work. Logic only works after facts are presented and agreed upon as real.

      The one piece of maga narrative he disagrees with, is the only little piece that touches him. He doesn’t see ICE in his community, he doesn’t see what they’re actually doing, if he gets any news it’s from Facebook or Twitter bots.

      The way to turn that small crack into a loss of support is hammering:

      They lied to you about oreos, why do you believe what they’re saying about things you can’t see?

      Feed that conspiratorial mindset, otherwise the fascists will.
