In 2017, JOHN DEAN wrote an insightful article worth reading. Among his observations that still ring true are the following:
We know enough about authoritarian supporters from research, and history, to know it will be very hard to change their minds about the leader they adore.
- They are extremely ethnocentric, dividing the world sharply into people in their in-group, and automatically disliking all others. They feel politicians who promote minority rights and immigration discriminate against them. Donald Trump tells them they are right. He is their champion.
- They are highly dogmatic. They get their ideas from others in the in-group, especially from their leader, not from evidence and logic. They say there is no evidence that will make them change their minds. They’re quite comfortable believing “alternate facts.”
- They get great satisfaction from being part of a large movement. Being in a cohesive crowd at rallies thrills them because they silently tell one another, just by being there, that they are powerful and right. They create an echo chamber that reinforces the belief that all the good people think like they do.
- They severely limit their sources of information. They get the news that they want to get. This also produces an echo chamber when the news sources they trust are copying each other and relaying Trump’s message.
- They have highly compartmentalized minds. When an unpleasant truth forces its way into their awareness, they do not try to integrate the other things they believe with it. Instead they put it in a box and isolate it from the rest of their thinking, which proceeds as if the truth never existed.
Put all this together and you get an idea how hard it will be to change their minds about Donald Trump.

HOMAN IN — White House border czar Tom Homan made good on his promise to travel to Boston last week, helping carry out a multi-agency operation that he said ended with the arrest of 370 immigrants in the city and surrounding area, he announced in a post on X Monday. But unlike his flashier forays to Chicago and New York, Homan’s trip to the Bay State was kept quiet until after the fact.
A majority of those who were arrested during the five-day operation were "significant criminals,” Homan said in the post, and MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale lauded the arrests as “commendable.”
“They have removed dangerous criminals from our streets, making Massachusetts a safer place for families,” Carnevale said in a statement.
But Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said the city had yet to receive details on the arrests as of Monday night. “Given that we have no information on these arrests, we cannot confirm how many took place within Boston police jurisdiction or in other cities, and we cannot confirm whether every individual was lawfully detained,” Wu said. “We strongly urge ICE to release information on all the individuals detained in order to ensure transparency.”
