I don't wanna spend too much time on this sort of thing, but on the very day we're talking about Bachmann's doubling down on untruths because she knows her followers won't question her, this video comes out with an exlantion for that very phenomenon. The Backfire Effect, which basically means that once certain people lock something into their belief system, having it disproven by facts only makes then angrily cling to that belief even harder. Interesting. And no, we're not including religion/faith here, but facts.

so if I say it's white and you say BLACK and it turns out to be BLACK, someone
( not you, Mr X, but someone) is saying/theorizing that I will continue to belief it's white.
RIGHT.
