Trapped Priors As A Basic Problem Of Rationality
[Van de Bergh et al suggest that the brain reduces bandwidth in 'raw experience' when it is intolerable, which is why trauma victims describe their traumas as short, undetailed, and to-the-point.]
Whenever the party you don't like says something seemingly reasonable, you can interpret in context as them wanting something horrible. Whenever they want a seemingly desirable thing, you secretly know it means they want a horrible moral atrocity. If a Republican talks about "law and order", it doesn't mean they're concerned about the victims of violent crime, it means they want to lock up as many black people as possible to strike a blow for white supremacy. When a Democrat talks about "gay rights", it doesn't mean letting people marry the people they love, it means destroying the family so they can replace it with state control over your children.
