I appreciate that you are currently in a psychologically confusing state because of the following two sets of facts:
- You have worked extremely hard to get APNU elected because you thought they were the right moral, ethical and political choice for governing the country.
- Since the elections of March 2nd, several independent local and international organizations have called out immoral and unethical actions by APNU. The independent press has also reported on a number of these actions. As a result, APNU have significantly weakened their political status both domestically and internationally which draws into question whether they can govern effectively.
Yes, I realize both facts are conflicting, but they can also be true at the same time. I know you may have tried to solve this dissonance by taking what seems to be the only obvious path which is to deny or disprove the second set of facts. To this end the APNU leaders said that you should turn to them for alternative facts to rationalize all the work you have done to date. So you may have turned to the Chronicle and APNU’s Facebook page. Unfortunately, being that we are in the information age, it is difficult to avoid the hard facts as they are available on, well pretty much everywhere else on the internet.
However, there may be another way to solve your current psychological conundrum and that is to recognize that while your support was with the best of intentions, the facts bear out that APNU no longer deserves your support. I know you are fully invested with APNU, particularly with your family, friends and colleagues so when you renounce your support it may initially be a bit embarrassing. However I think folks ultimately are going to respect your intellectual flexibility and honesty. Most importantly you will be in a healthier psychological state.
Afterall, when the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?
