As far as Trump is concerned, if you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound. Some folks like to think that they can take pieces of Trump's nasty habits, identify with those and ignore the rest to, you know, somehow salvage some self respect out of the deal.
As an example, sorry to say but those evangelists/fundamentalists that think they can keep their faith untarnished while laying in bed with the devil are quite sadly mistaken. They have forsaken their.......righteousness(?) by joining in league with Trump, for they cannot simply exploit him for their needs and not be wholly identified with every sordid evil thing that Trump is and does. They can't only stand by him for his obligation to them that he would strive to overturn Roe v. Wade. Oh no, no no. They took in the whole of Trump and every ungodly racist, adulterous misogynist thing he is and represents.
I've seen quite a few of the "faithful" rejoice in Trump's attempts at stoking fear and hate against his enemies regardless if these so called "enemies" are also of the same faith yet of the opposition party.
Reconciling is the same as rationalizing for these folks.
And that's just for starters. Identifying with Trump and his agenda for making himself and his fellow wealthy profiteers much more wealthier by corrupting our chosen political "leaders" and literally taking over the gov't to do it is supposed to be good governance? Is somehow supposed to be good for their middle class and their poor?
I'd like to see them explain that away. And yeh, I ain't holding my breath while waiting around for it either.
