          One possibility is that many people are motivated by rationalization and self justification rather than rational gamesmanship.

          Dersh just wielded President* Trump’s “Preemptive Framing” tool. To make the argument that he should legally be allowed to have sex with 16 year olds. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮https://twitter.com/georgelakoff/status/948424436058791937?s=21 …

          Trump uses social media as a weapon to control the news cycle. It works like a charm. His tweets are tactical rather than substantive. They mostly fall into one of these four categories. pic.twitter.com/XaK8tCpRy6
