Watch as students demonstrate "cognitive dissonance" over quotes from leading Dems

The folks at Campus Reform have perfected a classic psychological experiment:  They interview college students about how the student feels about a Trump position on, say, building a border wall.  Predictably, students are opposed to anything Trump advoccates.

Then the interviewer reads what he says are quotes from Trump about what we should do about illegal immigration, and asks the interviewees whether they agree or disagree.  Predictably, the students think those comments are "divisive," "racist," "horrible."

Except the quotes aren't from Trump, but were uttered by Pelosi, Schumer and Hilliary.

After the students have condemned quoted statements, the interviewer tells them who actually said the things they just derided--at which point the reactionis...disbelief.

Watch the reactions in the video below.  Pay particular attention to the reactions when the students learn the true source of the quotes they just condemned.  What you're seeing is called "cognitive dissonance."  It's what people experience when confronted with evidence that contradicts something they've always believed was true--and it's very instructive to watch.

Unfortunately the experience is unlikely to move any of the students to question what the media tell them about Democrat policies, because the herd instinct is too strong.  But it's a hoot to watch.
