“Both the analyst and the foreign leaders the analyst is studying have worldviews that shape how they view events, how they understand things, how they filter all of the sensory input both from their immediate senses and from their innumerable memories and reduce a problem down to a cognitively managable set. And when those worldviews do not reconcile, the actions of someone from a different worldview can seem to be anything but rational. Saying that Trump supporters are “morons” or that they “want to be entertained” is reducing them to something irrational, something that we don’t NEED to understand, rather than grappling with the idea that they might be acting rationally!”
