There is no cognitive dissonance.

You agree with a group of people that I generally disagree with.

There is the possibility that you are the rare mark that has consistent principles backing these thoughts, but the fact that you are aligned with a group that has consistently shown no consistent principles means I give you zero benefit of the doubt, and you opened the thread with an argument not backed by your later comment about wanting someone else to represent your country.

If you want to convince the other side of your beliefs then you need to start with a solid argument instead of doing a motte and bailey.
