After Ukraine Aid Vote, Republicans Braced for Backlash Find Little
A week after he broke with the majority of House Republicans and voted to send $60.8 billion in aid to Ukraine, Representative Max Miller took the stage at a performing arts center in his Ohio district bracing for backlash.
Instead, Mr. Miller, a first-term congressman who spent four years in the White House as a top aide to former President Donald J. Trump, was greeted at a town hall-style meeting on Saturday in the city of Solon with a sustained round of applause. Several attendees stood to publicly thank him for his vote, and a line of locals queued up afterward to shake his hand.
“Anything we can do to support the Ukrainian victory over the Russian invasion would be a positive thing for the world,” said Randy Manley, a retiree from Strongsville, Ohio, who said he planned to vote for Mr. Trump in November.
I would say something about cognitive dissonance but that gives people like this too much credit.
It's also not cognitive dissonance
Cognitive dissonance is misused almost as much as gaslighting is.
Now you're just Gaslighting me into believing that!
No, they’re moving the goalposts
No it's the Overton window that was moved.
