Doing a Florida Freeper ping here.
Good morning bump to you.
I hope you are doing well.

Well said!
That was well stated.
It's called Group Think.
Irving Janis was a Psych professor at Yale. He researched groupthink and developed eight groupthink behaviors. I recast them a little below as commandments of the progressive left.
I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgment conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mind guards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

Good article. Thanks for posting.
The Democrat Party and the Mainstream Media Died last night as the White House Correspondents Dinner was both a wake and funeral foe both of these low life American Traitors & Destroyers!!! WHCD was a total wipeout from A-Z!!! And...to boot no one with a brain was watching or listening to these elitist morons!!! RIP....WHCD!!!
I wonder how many people who don't have their head stuck firmly up their keister are coming to the same conclusion. If you think Obama was bad, wait until these progressives get back holding the levers of power--they're so incensed with the "how dare they" attitude that they will seek to punish or eliminate their "enemies".
The Media wants to bring the ball up and go into their set half-court offense — Trump plays full-court press and fast breaks, with a few elbows thrown for good measure. The Media aren’t equipped for this. Their reaction cycle is way too slow for his game.
BPD is actually a personality disorder, not a thought disorder. But, for our purposes, it’s a very good fit.
To carry the anology further, the prognosis for BPD is grim. They don’t get better, but with the right meds and therapy, they can be managed.
It’s the all/nothing thinking that’s crazy making. If Borderlines had a motto it would be: I love you! Go away!
But, I digress. The.media *are* behaving like a bunch of Borderlines in relation to the president.
They will not change. Ever. President Trump understands that and he’s the only Republican who isn’t constantly bowing and scraping in hopes of winning them over.
Not since Reagan have we had a president so not afraid to wear conservatism on his sleeve and fight for his beliefs. Both Bush's allowed themselves to be cowed by the Alinsky Left and went out of their way to not offend the sensibilities of the Democrats. Even though the Democrats waged open war on the both of them (as well as failed candidates like Dole, McCain and Romney).
Progressive disease quite like Alcoholism.
Errr... Literally.
Their mind consists of
randomly collected bad/wrong ideas/memories all piled up.
They impose no order, discipline or logic.
They generally are not even aware that is whats happening.
Cannot, will not ever make logical sense.
Garbage in, Garbage out.
They do not even imagine an alternative,
as they do not even recognize the condition.
Philosophically at a very high level
a Decision was made.
There Simply Is No Logical Sense.
No Answer, no truth.
They are Stuck, spinning around.
The minds time is occupied by random thoughts
that arrive or are driven in by
whatever momentary, unremarked
emotion is stirred.
From memories of not getting a pony for Christmas,
to very serious matters.
So, for the lightweights, overwhelming concern about being Triggered over trivial matters.
A Bad application of a valid, and true observation.
On the grain of truth, then more mistakes, errors, misjudgements, a
big messy pile of random.
To the point of defining the universe as random.
This is no minor issue.
*******
Intersectionality is the next big mistake on the pile.
Gives them something to talk about,
as they agree
all the other issues are settled.
The answer being there is no answer.
“Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.”
Fer shore, definitely, indubitably, without doubt, certifiable, incontrovertible, cosmically true, right on the mark.......
IMHO
ping your lists
A must read! Sundance lays it out so very clearly how Liberalism truly is a mental disorder!
To 5.56: Howdy to you also... 5.56 hard to argue with! ☠️
To MinuteGal: Well, you know! 👴
That BLOW jerk from some Chitown paper is among the worst.
Of late I”ve seen a new dude who seems to be finding a way to “correct” Obambi’s errors....
This joker,after someone else mentioned 50 states, and this sharpie says—and the 7 territories too !....Making OBAMBI’s 57 states mouthing look good...
Great read! And hello fellow Florist Creepers!
