I used to think partisan loyalty was a curious "bias" in election voting, but assumed with a Trump candidacy, surely that dynamic would fall apart. But as it stands firm as a dynamic in American politics, and respectable republicans are standing up and defending the undefendable, its occurred to me that this loyalty is far beyond a bias. It apparently completely transcends any logic or rational independent thought. I'd almost call it an illness and if I were to consider any psychological condition that encapsulates this odd blind commitment, I'd call it an odd case of Stockholms Syndrome.
The Trump candidacy is what took this dynamic and put it in such an extreme light, and it's expanded my understanding of the degree of mass blind denial that humans are capable of.
It does seem to be a similar dynamic I notice in the entrenched commitment to old school Egyptology, Archeology at least evidenced on this site. So I make this comparison so the many people seemingly trapped and held hostage by old ways of thinking can now see that its not necessarily their fault.
Its a condition that can be treated. Your captor is team "old school" mob mentality and as harsh and humiliating as he is forcing you to go on record with ridiculous unprovable and completely counter intuitive blather about ramps and cartouches and stinky footed geniuses, you find your way back to him with an odd codependent relationship of blind loyalty. Break the cycle and free yourself !!
We're all here for you. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault....
