Absolutely. You have to keep in mind that the further left you go, the more emotionally and socially driven you become. Meaning when you feel strongly about something or someone, you contort logic and reason to fit your emotions rather than adjusting your emotions based on an honest assessment of the facts, and meaning that your morality and reason tend to follow the crowd more than any principle. End result has a lot of people who feel strongly that orange man bad and Biden good despite any evidence that suggests otherwise, all feeding off each other and reinforcing a collective narrative. What effectively amounts to a large-scale self-gaslighting. The delusion can only persist as long as their feelings persist and the crowd keeps chanting the same things. But then when everyone saw the dementia patient in chief on full display under the spotlight, it caused a visceral gut level feeling that no one could deny, except for the true believers and propagandists, and the grand facade crumbled overnight.
