Children in Kamala Harris's NASA video were paid actors

She couldn't impress a room full of kids paid to be enthusiastic. When the kids actually with Kamala you can see the poor little talents struggling to follow and trying to figure out when to positively exclaim.

How Political Opinions Change
The experiment relies on a phenomenon known as choice blindness. Choice blindness was discovered in 2005 by a team of Swedish researchers. They presented participants with two photos of faces and asked participants to choose the photo they thought was more attractive, and then handed participants that photo. Using a clever trick inspired by stage magic, when participants received the photo it had been switched to the person not chosen by the participant—the less attractive photo. Remarkably, most participants accepted this card as their own choice and then proceeded to give arguments for why they had chosen that face in the first place. This revealed a striking mismatch between our choices and our ability to rationalize outcomes. This same finding has since been replicated in various domains including taste for jam, financial decisions, and eye-witness testimony.

Basically, political parties have a gaslight express hook-up in your brain if you're identified with them. They have many ways to convince you that whatever opinion they want you to have, is the opinion you always had.

The "chad" in this cartoon holds himself to a much higher standard than you do. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ideologies are like that. It's a boundary for acceptable thought reinforced by a sense of community, and it's a fear of being ostracized for expressing unacceptable thoughts. Political parties, feminism or really political movements in general... LGBT spaces even gender roles. It's nice to imagine oneself beyond that, but I'm pretty aware of what affiliations bias me. I imagine most people don't acknowledge that.

All comes down to a sense of I'm this, not that. In group out group. In my case, it's a never ending liminal state. I'm kinda like this and kinda not. Transition I think detached me from any covalent bonds to any particular group. It's all loose affiliations now that I get attached to and break from easily. "Be like water."

We are supposed to be anons here, you wouldn't know i am a hillbilly nor would i know that any of you forfeited your rites as a man and went to chop town. Its an EQ board but mostly filled with non-EQ things. You have brought this on yourselves and asked for more because deep down you enjoy it. Did you all see the new Hiam film trailer "American Insurrection"? it has an IT getting rubbed down sensually by a hillbilly hick that IT comes back to shoot.

Issues to say the least.
