    Cognitive dissonance is a very real thing. I think it’s a defense mechanism since these people need to believe the group who reflects their beliefs and values must but the best option, bending their (perception of) reality to their opinions rather than the other way around.

    Don’t know these people could live with themselves if they suddenly realized the people they support have no interest in solving their problems and just using them.
