Cognitive Dissonance

An individual experiencing Cognitive Dissonance exhibits a reluctance to reason, or accept opposing opinions and views, often resulting in anger, tantrums, and biased and baseless attacks on an persons intellect and character.

A great example is Trump Supporters.

Normal Person: just my opinion; Donald Trump is a good president, but far from the best. He recieves more praise than hes earned.

Person experiencing Cognitive Dissonance: Youre talking out your ass, and are clearly retarded. Your refusal to worship the one true God trump is only a prime example of your truly inferior intellect. You are a garbage American, and a garbage person.

cognitive dissonance

Cognitive dissonance is the psychological discomfort felt when holding two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes, or when one's behavior contradicts these beliefs. This mental tension creates a desire to reduce the inconsistency, which people achieve by changing their beliefs or behaviors, adding new justifications, or ignoring the conflicting information.
