I don’t get how this guy still has support when his whole base was for releasing the files and he said he would. Now he’s going to pardon his accomplice?

    Easy - his base is made up of entirely stupid and selfish people who have no firm principles whatsoever. They’ll believe whatever he tells them to as long as they’re still allowed to hurt the people they enjoy hurting.

      Was going to reply to this post with something like this, but you said it better than I could have. It doesn’t matter what lie he tells them, or how obvious it is, they’ll eat it up because at this point they pretty much have to. Because they’re in so deep at this point that getting out would completely destroy them.

      They do have principles … religious principles … fundamental Christian principles

      One of the core beliefs of this new fundamental Christianity is in the idea of “God’s Plan”

      The idea that any Christian person can do unChristain things and even act immorally and if God doesn’t stop them, doesn’t punish them or show any sign that God disagrees, then it means that God allows it because it’s part of his plan.

      It’s a really fucked up, cult like, dangerous mentality that they’ve cornered themselves into.
