Today she was lamenting about Trump and all the havoc.

I reminded her about how she praised Trump around the time of the election, specifically saying she approved of "a strong man" and making a fist gesture as she said it.

But I was corrected. Turns out I mis-remembered. She always supported Kamala, who "listens to people" unlike Trump who "is always complaining".

Oh this is a thing that happens, and she might not even be doing it on purpose.

I was reading a book about how people change their minds, and it mentioned some study of long term belief. Many people who changed their mind about big things like abortion seemingly legitimately could not remember ever having the opposite opinion.

I think it's because the ego is fragile, and people don't like admitting fault.
