supporters keep suggesting that critics of the guy have a knee-jerk reaction against any position he takes, because it couldn't possibly be that the criticisms were founded.

But it's funny to realize that so many of his supporters have a knee-jerk reaction to assume that he's right. In fact, they are explicit about this, talking about having faith in his judgment even if they don't understand it.

Funny how that works.

Maybe in the back of their minds they recognize their own prejudices and just project that onto everyone else.

@volkris we all tend toward confirmation bias. Acting as if it's one sided is funny.
