I'm glad I wasn't a sucker for all that "Trump is a racist" rhetoric. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.



MOD EDIT: Please do not post entire articles.
You, and Adams, really need to learn what cognitive dissonance is. The media is not displaying any of it when discussing Donald Trump. I'm not sure what Adams is really trying to get at? Trump has a long history of racist behavior, so him changing his public comments on the issue does not alter that history. I mean, Trump's relationship with "The Blacks" has always been at arms length at best, and usually he viewed them as a group that was an easy target to exploit in his con games. Adams is coming off as a bit unhinged IMO. Believing that a man is, or what he believes, is based only on the last words to come out of his mouth, rather than the actions of his previous 50-60 years of behaviors, is pretty stupid. To me that screams rube more than it does high functioning intellectual with opinions worth listening to. The whole false dichotomy of whether Trump is a racist or a con-man is pretty weak too. Trump is a racist AND a con-man. That has been his life work and he has succeeded in both areas, no matter how hard Adams objects.
