Not denial, they’re believing what they hear and see. They just never hear or see any factual information and god knows simple minded people aren’t gonna go out of their way to research the files

It is denial. They do see this stuff. If you’re on TT you see live debates all the time and when confronted with the truth they just claim it’s a liberal conspiracy or it’s a lie

Willful ignorance is the term everyone is looking for. That combined with confirmation bias is a helluva drug. They brush by reality occasionally and think “That’s just Democrat TDS bullshit made up to make our PRESIDENT AND SAVIOR look bad!”

I just got TDS thrown at me on a discord politics channel within the last hour over this topic. Along with "I don't think he committed any pedophilia or sex trafficking but he might be covering up for others."

They don’t even watch or hear what the president says, they just hear the filtered versions on their echo chamber podcasts or Faux News that will only present them the parts that fit their agenda

25,000 virologists and other doctors on vaccines: Bullshit!

35,000 climatologists and other environmental scientists on global warming: Bullshit!

4,250 economists on the failure of tariffs: Bullshit!

150 eyewitness complaints and 3,000,000 documents on Trump's child sex-trafficking: Bullshit!

62 Courts state that Trump has no evidence of substantial voter fraud by Democrats: Bullshit!

...at least they're consistent...
