"But if the election were held today, I’d vote for him again, and so would millions of other Americans. That doesn't make us racist, bigots, weird or stupid. I reject the notion that this means we are complicit in his poor choices or mistakes."

You know what? It probably is me. Early middle age makes it more difficult to "be more professional," "be friendly," "smile," mask, and tell yourself "Girl, that's all in your head! Maybe they're just having a bad day. It's these times."
All is just fine up here, thanks. #rationalization

Cognitive dissonance is a nasty foe
for those who seek to hide, not know.
Freud's folio; it holds a key
to justify society.
Just ignore the truth and set lies free.
Listen to what you want to see.

Yeah.
Then there are the #homeless. Left with #option of committing #crimes for #food and #warmth or not.
We know what this is for. We are #garbage. We're not, but that is what we are #treated like. There is no #rationalization that any triple #PhD could go ahead and try. It doesn't exist. #Horror

Attorney Thomas Begley talks about what he calls the “8th deadly sin”: rationalization.
He explains how people justify unfair choices after a spouse’s death—often at the stepchildren’s
expense.

That very same #rationalization was used to justify keeping #SlaveLabor back in the early 19C.
Any action that brings more #money to the poorest people will result in some #inflation. That's not a valid excuse to keep people poor.

A quotation from **Joseph Heller**
> The chaplain had mastered, in a moment of divine intuition, the handy technique of protective rationalization, and he was exhilarated by his discovery. It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth […]

If cognitive dissonance had a motto: “It’s not me, it’s the facts that are wrong.” Change is hard. Self-deception is easier. 🤡 #Psychology #Rationalization

@esmie The word you’re looking for is “rationalization.” It’s when people explain their actions in a way that makes them seem okay, even if they’re not. They do this to feel better about themselves or to avoid feeling guilty or anxious.

Good advice. I’m procrastinating to avoid working. Allowed because I’m technically still drinking my morning coffee. #rationalization
