How the Proud Boys Shifted Their Attitudes Toward Trump

Avn: I was really struck by this article about how the proud boys actually shifted their attitudes toward trump in a quite extreme fashion after the storming off the capital. They saw him as weak and disloyal and really as is, a complete failure, as they said. And i think this really illustrates the working of our model quite well, because it's not that they just shifted their attitude a little bit. It's just from one highly idealized attitude, they shifted just to one other very idealized and very simplistic attitude. Do you think we're really goingto be able to brain scan somebody in 20 years and tell them what they believe? No, i don't think so.
