To the editor: Blame the advisors. When the good chief disappoints, at all times blame the advisors (“Why MAGA’s ideologues can’t at all times get what they need,” July 29).
After Mao Zedong died, his failings have been largely positioned on Madame Mao and the remainder of the “Gang of 4.” The “nice helmsman” might by no means be held accountable, regardless of having absolute energy.
On a much less “deaths of hundreds of thousands” notice, Yoko Ono has at all times been held accountable for breaking apart the Beatles. Possibly John Lennon was a grown man who might make up his personal thoughts. There’s a thought.
These are simply the psychological gymnastics required to keep away from blaming the individual in cost. For supporters to activate President Trump would imply admitting they have been fallacious, one thing the far proper would keep away from doing in any respect prices. The sunk price fallacy is robust with MAGA.
