To the editor: Blame the advisors. When the good chief disappoints, all the time blame the advisors (“Why MAGA’s ideologues can’t all the time get what they need,” July 29).
After Mao Zedong died, his failings have been largely positioned on Madame Mao and the remainder of the “Gang of 4.” The “nice helmsman” may by no means be held accountable, regardless of having absolute energy.
On a much less “deaths of tens of millions” be aware, Yoko Ono has all the time been held chargeable for breaking apart the Beatles. Perhaps John Lennon was a grown man who may make up his personal thoughts. There’s a thought.
These are simply the psychological gymnastics required to keep away from blaming the individual in cost. For supporters to activate President Trump would imply admitting they have been flawed, one thing the far proper would keep away from doing in any respect prices. The sunk price fallacy is robust with MAGA.
