“They’re trying to make Trump look bad.”

This is a pervasive way of thinking in a dangerously large subset of the population.

You can see it when confronting a person with the logical conclusion of their stated beliefs and instead of posing a logical counter argument they say, “You’re twisting my words to make me look bad!”

My hypothesis is they think, “I’m a good person. It can’t be bad, if I do it.”

If you are person who thinks other are twisting you works to make you look bad, then you should consider you might not be the hero of your story… you might be the unreliable narrator.
