        Millions of people support Trump no matter what. Thousands of people in Alabama support Moore no matter what. Something can't exist in that many people without implicating all of us.

        Don't take these stories to mean Republicans are dumb. Or are blind. Take them as a demonstration of what the human mind is capable of. These Republican voters are just one example

        It's also worthy to investigate, as @cjane87 did, the media environment and party pressures that fuel motivated reasoning among conservatives.https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/8/16742978/inside-bubble-roy-moore-conservative-media …

        If Roy (@MooreSenate) Moore was black, and accused of molesting those girls? #AlabamaVoters would've hanged him by now. Literally. He'd be dead. Part of why #AL voters accept #RoyMoore is because he's a white man. To #RoyMoore's supporters, white men can do whatever they want.

        This is technically true. But in practice, Democrats have a much better record on dealing with similar offenses in their own camp.

        "It’s not just a Republican phenomenon. Some liberals rushed to overlook allegations of groping against Sen. Al Franken." With the key difference being that Franken got the boot, while Moore might still win. Republicans are much, much worse.

        It's not some complicated psychology. It's that they *like* him for all the things for which the rest of us label him unfit to serve. They don't have to find ways to dismiss things they approve of.

        Ugh. People unwilling to change their world view regardless of evidence are not the same as people who are capable of adapting. Whataboutism is bullshit.

        Yes, everybody is subject to cognitive biases, including confirmation bias. No, we are not all affected by those biases in the same way, and the vigilant can detect when they are being affected by such biases. Implying that we all have the same "psychology" is just plain wrong.

        False equivalence - some are more blind than others. Note for example that Al Franken has announced his retirement over weaker claims. Although we all have blind spot, the size and severity of those blind spots are not necessarily equal between two individuals

        I am not blind to the psychology you speak of, I know I have a choice, and I know how to chose right, rather than wrong.

        The psychology exists in everyone up to a point, but there are matters of degree. Suggesting we're all the same when it comes to evidence and tribalism is bullshit.

        or in this case the Stockholm syndrome: feelings of trust or affection felt in certain cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor.
