Comportmentalize

To mentally find and use ideas that comport to narratives that support one's belief system in order to ease the discomfort of cognitive dissonance when competing ideas are in conflict with each other.
Person 1: "Wow! I'm mentally conflicted here! These competing ideas really are in conflict with each other and I don't know which one to support."

Person 2: "Well, rather than compartmentalize those thoughts, why don't you comportmentalize them and find a narrative that comports with your belief system? That might help with your cognitive dissonance."
