There's a definition for this kind of stupid.
Cognitive dissonance:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values, or participates in an action that goes against one of these three, and experiences psychological stress because of that. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other,
people will do all in their power to change them until they become consistent.[1] The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new evidence (facts) perceived, wherein they will try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.[1][2]
To function in the reality of a modern society, human beings continually adjust the correspondence of their mental attitudes and personal actions;
such continual adjustments, between cognition and action, result in one of three relationships with reality:[2]
1)
Consonant relationship: two cognitions or actions consistent with each other (e.g. not wanting to become drunk when out to dinner, and ordering water rather than wine)
2)
Irrelevant relationship: two cognitions or actions unrelated to each other (e.g. not wanting to become drunk when out and wearing a shirt)
3)
Dissonant relationship: two cognitions or actions inconsistent with each other (e.g. not wanting to become drunk when out, but then drinking more wine)
If/when her opponents throw opposing views or she is presented with factual evidence to the contrary. She will get spun around the axle.
