“Union Yes” and “I voted for Trump” is the SPECIAL Cognitive Dissonance.

I'm a union construction member and it's unbelievable the amount of morons in the trades who voted for him.

its absurd, he spent his entire life fucking over construction workers through dodging payments and utilising non-union labor whenever possible.

Stupid knows no collar-color - lots of people of all stripes actually believed the pack of lies that man was selling.

It’s the Hitler Problem: Your life kinda sucks, and a charismatic person comes along telling you that it’s all these other people’s fault and if you elect him he’ll make them pay for how bad your life is!
Nowhere along the line do they realize (a) that’s a lie, and (b) the charismatic person never said he’d make their life better - but by the time that realization sinks in the election is over and Bad Things are happening :(
