Cognitive dissonance. It goes against what they've been programmed to believe so it is very upsetting and their brain sort of short circuits and they cannot use logic. Fear and hate also shuts down rational thought. The fear that they will die from a virus or fear that those they trust lie to them. Hate for themselves deep down and hate for TRUMP will do the same. Also their pineal gland is toxic and calcified and they cannot even allow truth/light/love into their soul. I've helped many wake up very slowly. Too fast they will crash.
