I had a real problem with this during the primary of Titanium Ted vs. El Blumpfo, or more like after Trump won.
It took me maybe two months to get over it. There was some base to it, like I was always going to support the Republican in the general election no matter what since in my estimation there is a zero percent chance of increasing individual freedom by a Democrat administration (except by accident).
But the more active factors were that I told myself that I wanted to learn how such a dickface as Trump could convince so many people he was the bees knees. So I sought out explanations. Mainly I read Scott Adams and The_Donald for a few months. Adams made some highly factual and logical points that made me see things differently, and some of the funny memery at T_D softened me up. Nobody on the internet laughs at themselves as well as the Trump people. We all know Trump is ridiculous.
So, I say to anytime somebody wants to develop, the key is to actively admit openness to it in the first place, and to expose the self to the community and apologetics of the counter view.
