When an individual has a strong faith which is brought into question by contradictory evidence, the individual experiences internal conflict and reacts negatively such as going into denial mode.

Kinda like believing the Jews wandered in the wilderness for forty years, despite evidence to the contrary, isn't it?

I'd go into denial mode too if someone says the Exodus never happened.

Trump recently stated egg prices dropped 92% yet wholesale prices have clearly increased.
Yet some MAGA supporters accepted the assertion because of their blind faith in Trump.

This is an example of cognitive dissonance. When an individual has a strong faith which is brought into question by contradictory evidence, the individual experiences internal conflict and reacts negatively such as going into denial mode.

This type of behaviour has been observed in this thread.
It wasn't 192% decrease? :)
