CNN: Hurling Insults At Trump Supporters

CNN's Don Lemon claims Trump voters 

must have  'cognitive dissonance' 

to support such a 'bad person'

'They like the shiny objects. 

They like the racism. 

They like the misogyny'

I did not know what COGNITIVE DISSONANCE was so I had to look it up, it means:  the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.

An example of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE:

Cognitive Dissonance produces a feeling of mental discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance. For example, when people smoke (behavior) and they know that smoking causes cancer (cognition), they are in a state of cognitive dissonance.

What causes COGNITIVE DISSONANCE:
It may also happen when a person holds two beliefs that contradict one another. Cognitive dissonance causes feelings of unease and tension, and people attempt to relieve this discomfort in different ways. Examples include “explaining things away” or rejecting new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs.

It would appear that Don Lemon has COGNITIVE DISSONANCE when it comes to understanding and accepting the fact that people hold different beliefs that he holds, relative to President Trump and the Republican Political Party...

This is HIS PROBLEM that he is now trying to project on others who do not share his beliefs or political convictions.

If I am not mistaken, this is actually referred to as EXERCISING OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS...
