And what precipitates the cultural blind spot is delusion (on a group basis).
Delusion is a belief that ignores reality. Correcting delusion is very difficult due to confirmation bias.

Americans love their delusions and will fight like hell to keep them.

Notice how deep it goes. You can’t talk about it even here.

Really, this is the last thing on Barr’s mind. They will put this on hold until after the election.

“He is not going after the Swamp, the coup plotters, and the criminals in the Dept of Injustice and the Federal Bureau of Injustice. He IS going after our guns.”

Barr hasn’t lifted a finger to prosecute a single coup participant. Not one.

We really need civil disobedience with respect to doj and police state agencies.

People have to start making the doj lose their cases, even cases with merit.

Look, they are attacking us on 2A and they won’t go after the elites. What does that portend? So for example, when we have white collar cases against the little people, even if they have merit, make them lose. Jury nullification.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but I have noticed some folks going ballistic regarding calling out people like Gun Grabber Barr. They will accuse you of being a “Never Trumper.” I gave Barr the benefit of the doubt, even though I knew before his confirmation hearing he was anti-Second Amendment. Now, after months, he refuses to prosecute the coup platters and says Epstein committed “suicide.” Oh, and I guess it was just a “coincidence” that all the cameras in the prison happened to fail at once? Barr is a Swamp Creature. So is Smirking Wray of the Federal Bureau of Injustice.

I recall recognizing Modified, Limited Hangout pretty early on with Barr but admit I, too, was hopeful at rfirst. I have suspected for some time now that Barr was the deal Trump made to get rid of Sessions and reign Mueller in. Which would sort of explain Trump’s loss of enthusiasm for investigation the Witch Hunt.

Me too, but Rudy would have had trouble getting confirmed.

Wait a minute.... Barr doesn’t have ENOUGH to do? That he is sitting around contemplating LEGISLATION to propose?

Top “law ENFORCEMENT officer”.

The President and Congress PROPOSE legislation.
The Congress passes legislation.
The President signs legislation into LAW.

The attorney General ENFORCES the law.

Mr. Barr, stick to your job and let others do theirs.

Let's see...

Ivanka got caught "shopping" gun control proposals to Congress a few weeks ago.

Now the AG himself is caught doing the same thing.

And this supposedly doesn't have the backing of the President?

Sure, makes tons of sense. /s

Barr is Sessions’ super sized twin.

>> More crap from the Trump Administration. Trump is playing games and isn't man enough to do what’s right. <

Hmmm. But numerous FReepers told me we must ALWAYS stand with Trump no matter what, and we can't underestimate the "danger" of daring to disagree with anything Trump says or does, and that God is guiding Trump to always do what's right anyway, and that only dirty filthy rotten NeverTrumpers and "Mitt Romney" types ever oppose Trump on something.

Gosh, I guess conservativism is NOT measured by how much one blindly supports the Trump administration! I'm shocked I tell ya, shocked.

Rudy Giuliani? You realize he is significantly to LEFT of Barr and was a huge proponent of gun control when he was Mayor of NYC, right?
