I don't see any cognitive dissonance here. That's the uncomfortable feeling you get when holding two conflicting viewpoints. The problem here is compartmentalization, which is used to keep those conflicting viewpoints from touching, avoiding all cognitive dissonance (and also makes someone look like an idiot from a non-compartmentalized outside viewpoint).
I still don’t get how these people don’t know that Trump’s most well known achievement is ripping off contractors. He is literally everything they are supposed to be against lol
The right wing mindset constantly blames the many for the actions of a few. If a black person commits crimes, all black folk must be viewed as criminals. If some Mexicans come here illegally, all Mexicans must be illegals. If a Muslim terrorist commits a terrorist act, all Muslims must be terrorists.
But if a conservative white man goes on killing spree at a Walmart, a church or a synagogue they must be a lone wolf with mental problems and we shouldn’t dwell to deeply into why they were using right wing talking points as justification.
Never forget that by the FBIs own statistics, almost 70% of political violence is committed by a single demographic and we’re just never allowed to talk about it.
Medicare/Medicaid fraud is — by orders of magnitude — the most common crime committed by doctors. For every shady pill mill doc you’ve heard of, there’s ten prescribers paying off their $500,000 in student loans by cooking the books on Medicare billing.
“I'm sorry, but I refuse to support a culture that treats women like second class citizens, applauds fraud, supports violence and thinks it's funny that they can mooch off the government.”
I wonder what ethnicity is next because at this point they’re just cycling through them. Just fucking admit you’re racist and save everyone the gd time
They treat women like second class citizens…I HATE ILON OMAR…also a bunch of the fraudsters are women-and finally, how many women parents have we had, how many women are in congress?
"They treat women like second class citizens! Now let me get back to telling every democrat congresswoman they slept their way to the top, and that they should be home in the kitchen!"
They can't pick one out now. You telling me Cletus Americana from West Virginia can tell the difference between a Somalian, a Nigerian, and a Sudanese person?
"Keep Medicare and Medicaid fraud white! They're stealing all our traditional Southern trailer park income sources! How will they afford the meth precursors they need?" - That guy, probably.
Oh, we know what you twisted fucks think it is: white-only culture.
The distinction is that the West doesn't celebrate the fraud.
Motherefuckers celebrate all the times that Trump gets away with fraud, stiffing contractors, raping children...you guys make it clear that the West does celebrate it.
Society incentivizes Liars and cheats. It's what EVERYTHING is supposed to be doing
Our politicians legalized corruption. Our businessmen commit wage theft on massive scale. Steal taxpayer money through bailouts and subsidies, and use it to cut jobs and hire more politicians.
Our Healthcare industry is controlled by people that kill us. For profit! Our businesses are obsessed with fake wealth, with bubbles. They poison land and destroy the world for a quick buck.
Recently it has been revealed that our leaders and a number of our upper classes are all pedophiles. There have been no arrests. No justice.
Its lies, cheats, murderers, and rapists all the way down. Society supports this. It encourages it, rewards it. But when some poor cunt tries to get a slice of the pie? Not even murder or rape like our dear leaders. It's such a biiiiig fucking deal. They aren't the right kind of liar or cheat. They're... poor.
This would be too on the nose for fiction. We're fucking, a nation where anything can be purchased. We're Farengi. Its ridiculous. I'm supposed to care about some minor fraud in the face of this? Ridiculous.
They dont like women being treated as 2nd class? I bet they are against abortions and think women should be at home and not alowed opinions.

It really bothers me that there are people who think anyone on some form of welfare whether its food stamps or medicare, are somehow living the good life. The only doctors and dentists that took medicare performed subpar work and often committed fraud and food stamps were simply enough to feed however many people in your household. I've lived it life wasn't luxurious it was hell.
I doubt every single Somali person was living like a king on welfare but that politicians used the Somali immigrants as a pawn in their political games. Liberals ignored the biggest issues in America for too long and this is what they get, most Americans can't afford to live in America most people are a paycheck away from homelessness and the natural reaction to liberals ignoring this is that more people were pushed further right and now everythings fucked forever.
The primary reason most Americans hated immigration whether they want to admit it or not is because we have enough problems that are going unaddressed, the opiate crisis, the homelessness crisis, food insecurity, can't see a doctor affordably.
Liberals just handed off a convenient scapegoat to the conservatives in the form of these somali daycares. I still have no idea what actually went on because no one is being honest and objective about it.

Senator Rick Scott ripped off Medicare for $1.5 billion. Somalis have a long way to catch up to that
He ripped off Medicaid, Medicare, and other programs for far more. His company was only ordered to repay that much by the courts.
Their ringleader was a conservative white woman busted a couple years ago, at that.
The fine was $1.5 billion. Who knows how much they actually stole.
Can we deport him back to Europe?
How about just halfway across the Atlantic, drop him off there and call it good?
My god, how can anyone write that and not see that they've described MAGA
Willful ignorance. Cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive dissonance requires cognition, MAGA doesn't apply.
I don't see any cognitive dissonance here. That's the uncomfortable feeling you get when holding two conflicting viewpoints.

Yeah, the problem is that they should be experiencing cognitive dissonance, but aren't.
For sure
Every accusation and all that.
Does anyone think he can find Somalia on a map?
Brett Favre is incompatible with Western culture?!?
Well, yes, but not for the reason you're thinking lol
Lol
Oh, but you see Brett Farvre is a white man. It’s DiFeReNt!
But not when he's throwing footballs through a tire.
We made fraud president.
I still don’t get how these people don’t know that Trump’s most well known achievement is ripping off contractors. He is literally everything they are supposed to be against lol
Because Trump is a rich, tall, white man who they are familiar with because he was on TV.
He must be smart and a good Christian, because he is rich and was on TV. And tall. And not a woman or brown person.

But exactly to your point: a single leftist committing violence is worse than all the right-wingers committing violence.
Or one better, one leftist committing an imaginary crime is worse than any real crime a Republican could commit.
Very true. The imagined crimes by the left are used to justify the real ones the right commits.

Stealing this!
if they're not part of the in-group. the in-group gets nuance, due process, human consideration. the out-group does not enjoy that same charity.
The goddam lily white senator from Florida is the biggest medicaid fraudster in American history.
Show me how many white folks get busted every year committing medicaid and/or social security fraud every year. Crunch me those numbers.
West doesn’t celebrate fraud? <waves hands wildly at MAGA>
Ain't no whitey ever committed any kind of fraud or crime. Any claim otherwise is fake news.
When rich "western" people do it, it's a smart business move 😎
Medicare/Medicaid fraud is — by orders of magnitude — the most common crime committed by doctors. For every shady pill mill doc you’ve heard of, there’s ten prescribers paying off their $500,000 in student loans by cooking the books on Medicare billing.
“I'm sorry, but I refuse to support a culture that treats women like second class citizens, applauds fraud, supports violence and thinks it's funny that they can mooch off the government.”
That describes today’s Republicans perfectly.
Guess we should have just shot all the Bundys without even a warning, huh? Is that what he means?
Is there somewhere farther west than the US? They are certainly not describing here.
I wonder what ethnicity is next because at this point they’re just cycling through them. Just fucking admit you’re racist and save everyone the gd time
Maybe they are trying to do enough fraud to get pardoned by the President.
Runs through that entire list
BITCH, YOU JUST DESCRIBED HALF OF FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANITY
Gotta be a bot. Americans love fraudsters as long as they weren't the ones defrauded.
Wait, didn’t the GOP elect one of the biggest perpetrators of Medicare/medicaid fraud ever?
They treat women like second class citizens…I HATE ILON OMAR…also a bunch of the fraudsters are women-and finally, how many women parents have we had, how many women are in congress?
"They treat women like second class citizens! Now let me get back to telling every democrat congresswoman they slept their way to the top, and that they should be home in the kitchen!"
Seriously, it sounds like they should fit right in with the classic American grifters.
These people couldn't have picked a Somali out of a crowd if their life depended on it a month ago
Black 🤠
They can't pick one out now. You telling me Cletus Americana from West Virginia can tell the difference between a Somalian, a Nigerian, and a Sudanese person?
50$ says this is a bot or one of those Central Asian troll accounts
The west doesn’t celebrate fraud?!?
We elected a known fraudster as president.
"Keep Medicare and Medicaid fraud white! They're stealing all our traditional Southern trailer park income sources! How will they afford the meth precursors they need?" - That guy, probably.
Oh, we know what you twisted fucks think it is: white-only culture.
Motherefuckers celebrate all the times that Trump gets away with fraud, stiffing contractors, raping children...you guys make it clear that the West does celebrate it.
They'll say all his and no doubt continue simping for Trump who is guilty of all of this.

I didn't know Rick Scott was Somali...
It's important to maintain enough ties to "culture" to beat inferior cultures over the head with your hatred.
America totally does all those things. And the assholes who do it think it's hilarious.
Weird way to write "Trump drawned an infant he had from raping a 13yo"
Sounds like American conservatives are incompatible with the west.
Seems perfectly American to me.
zero percent chance this chode doesn't himself want to treat women like second-class citizens. it is a shibboleth of the right.

So you're going to stop voting Republican?
How it works

They love it when Elon cheats on his taxes and calls it clever so is it only bad when the browns do it?
This could've been written by a MAGA or a Somali.
