[SEGMENT 2-1] Positive Disconfirmation 1 What have an amazing opportunity over the next four years, and it should be part of our strategy to change the Trump haters. It’s happened before. In 2016, when many Republicans didn’t support Trump. You’ve heard me discuss this, as I mentioned my brother and one of my most trusted advisers, neither of whom voted for Trump. But both recanted within months of Trump’s presidency. While the cabal hates progress, their minions really do like cheap gasoline and food. And while they may be zealots for climate change or the equivalent nonsense, they can be persuaded. And here’s why. The concept of "positive disconfirmation" originates from expectation-disconfirmation theory in psychology. This theory suggests that people form expectations about an outcome, and their satisfaction depends on how the actual experience compares to those expectations. In positive disconfirmation, when something turns out better than expected, it leads to satisfaction and sometimes even delight. Applied to voters skeptical of President Trump, positive disconfirmation would occur if these voters anticipate negative outcomes but instead experience surprisingly favorable results, potentially reshaping their perception. This shift could lead to a psychological phenomenon called "attitude alignment," where repeated exposure to unexpectedly positive experiences might foster warmer or more favorable attitudes over time. Studies show that positive disconfirmation can be powerful in politics, particularly when an individual’s expectations are emotionally charged. If, for example, a voter strongly dislikes a candidate but later observes that candidate achieving positive outcomes (such as economic growth or other issues of personal importance), this effect can lead to cognitive reevaluation and sometimes a softened or even positive reassessment of that candidate.

We have the opportunity for Leftists to come to the conclusion on their own just how sick they are… [X] SB – Former Leftist on TDS Didn’t like him until 6 months ago Assassination attempt woke her up Thought she knew what was going on. She genuinely thought she was informed

[SEGMENT 2-4] Positive Disconfirmation 4 Triggered when questioned. Didn’t know policies or politics. Humbling to be wrong. Defensive Didn’t want to be wrong If you’re only exposed to that. The thing I find most interesting post election is how Democrats refuse to process what happened. No soul-searching, only MORE blame of the majority of the people not voting for them. I find it hard to imagine people voting for Kamala Harris. I’m not delusional in saying, you must be CRAZY to do that. And I can BACK IT UP with evidence.
