Stxbuck: Not disagreeing so much as clarifying. Social Psych literature suggests what is ingrained is one's outward, public personae--that doesn't change much in adults (but is even more correlated with pride).
Behavior is another thing, altogether. People who will reply 100% of the time that they are against, for example, seat belts will still wear them.
But if someone else then points out the inconsistency, they often change behavior again to match their stated beliefs.
Which makes one wonder if it is a good thing to poke Trump-ettes or let them instead get sick of shitting where they eat (any WEEN fans here?). Bottom line: I've learned that pointing out people's inconsistencies can be counterproductive even as it makes my head spin.
