Dennis Prager argues that voters support Kamala Harris not for her policies but because they can't vote for a conservative or despise Trump. He claims they experience cognitive dissonance, preferring to see themselves as good-hearted while ignoring what he calls her incompetence and potential harm to the country.
My theory is they don't want to know it because they want to vote for Kamala Harris and think that they're being a good person in doing so. And so they can't live with the cognitive dissonance of what she will actually do, what she actually advocates and supports, because then that, that would really multiply the, the cognitive dissonance. Well, I'm really voting for someone who will hurt my country in every possible way. And who, aside from everything else, is an incompetent. She's a nothing. She's one of the few people who makes Joe Biden look deep. But they'll vote for her because they hate Trump. But that's not the real reason. They're going to vote for her because they vote— they can't vote for a conservative.
