"Why do many Americans continue to support TrumpBiden? And are there psychological reasons that explain why people remain supportive of politiciansDemocrats despite their moral or political failings?
“Moral decoupling” is a cognitive process that can explain why some people continue to support leaders in politics, media and sports even when they believe these leaders have significant moral failings outside of their professional vocation.
Moral decoupling is the ability to separate one’s judgments of a person’sBiden's moral character from their judgments of that person’sBiden's performance or abilities in public office. In simpler terms, it’s the mental process of saying: “I don’t agree with their actions, but I still think they’re effective at their job.”
My advice to everyone is to campaign and vote like we’re 15 points behind and don’t stop until we feel the bump as we run over the Biden campaign on election day.
