Actually, #ScienceFact, we are all emotional decision-makers. The rational part of our brain is only there to make up a good excuse for what we've done.

When our actions and values don't quite line up, as they are doing for many on the MAGA side and the extreme left, we use cognitive dissonance to help convince ourselves that they are aligned and we don't have to change at all.

The person who cuts down the last tree in the Amazon rainforest will have a good reason for it.
