How To Know You’re In a Mass Hysteria Bubble (Scott Adams)
Dilbert ^ | August 17th, 2017

Posted on 08/18/2017 11:07:48 PM PDT by Helicondelta

On November 8th of 2016, half the country learned that everything they believed to be both true and obvious turned out to be wrong. The people who thought Trump had no chance of winning were under the impression they were smart people who understood their country, and politics, and how things work in general. When Trump won, they learned they were wrong.

The wrong-about-everything crowd decided that the only way their world made sense, with their egos intact, is that either the Russians helped Trump win or there are far more racists in the country than they imagined, and he is their king. Those were the seeds of the two mass hysterias we witness today.

...

Ask yourself which one of these versions sounds less crazy:

1. A sitting president, who is a branding expert, thought it would be a good idea to go easy on murderous Nazis as a way to improve his popularity.

or…

2. The country elected a racist leader who is winking to the KKK and White Supremacists that they have a free pass to start a race war now.

or…

3. A mentally unstable racist clown with conman skills (mostly just lying) eviscerated the Republican primary field and won the presidency. He keeps doing crazy, impulsive racist stuff. But for some reason, the economy is going well, jobs are looking good, North Korea blinked, ISIS is on the ropes, and the Supreme Court got a qualified judge. It was mostly luck.

or…

4. The guy who didn’t offer to be your moral leader didn’t offer any moral leadership, just law and order, applied equally. His critics cleverly and predictably framed it as being soft on Nazis.

One of those narratives is less crazy-sounding than the others.

sound reasoning...it is # 4 except everyone that is anyone in politics, govt law, military elite nwo, un, eu, rep, gope, dem, past ruling parties, 1%, all media, stupid without a brain or an original thought left winger socialistic fascists have made a pact with the devil soros and obama that Trump is going one way or another and will fail and they will destroy the country to assure his destruction and failure even though he was elected. unfortunately there are not enough lower and middle class Americans willing to pay the moral and physical cash of marching and doing whatever else is necessary to change that outcome until it is too late. this was our last chance. Trump was the only let standing outsider that had the courage to try and save us

Donald Trump put on a nazi uniform, jumped in a car and ran over babies in a playground! Or at least that’s the impression I got from the news.

You know it when you can point to the same things a democrat did without criticism now being cast as a mortal sin -

Here’s our President obama after one of the last terrorist attacks in his administration drawing a moral equivalency between terrorists and Christians:

“Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history,” he told the group, speaking of the tension between the compassionate and murderous acts religion can inspire. “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.” http://ace.mu.nu/archives/371190.php

The media told us this was a measured and reasoned response.

They are not hallucinating,they are crazy but this does not account for their actions we are currently dealing with,I submit they are very calculating and are panicking because of what the midterm elections portend for them.
I mean,midterm elections always have a light African American turnout,so what do they have to do? Your witnessing it

The total insanity of the media is aptly demonstrated by Wolf Blitzer’s statement that the ISIS van attacks in Spain were a copycat of Charlottesville. Blitzer, who works for a major media outlet and likely himself reported on similar ISIS car and truck attacks in France and the U.K. during the last year and a half, knowing made this falsehood solely to advance a political narrative. Sadly there are lots of people who will believe this BS.

Here we see one of the hazards of our God-given free will at work: mass hysteria due to mass self-delusion. It's a Romans 1:18-31 thing that's built in to the matrix.

We are always free and able to cut ourselves loose from the definitions and rules that govern us and the world.

And, we can even choose to rewrite any or all of them at will, however we wish, too, generally in our own more enlightened image of the moment.

But.... then we have to live with and through the consequences...yikes!

I've seen bad before, but this Blue Screen of Death strain of cognitive dissonance, that happens when the progressive malware crashes into immovable reality, has got to be the worst of them all.

Poor souls. There, but for the Grace of God, go I...

The democrat party is run by George Soros who in WW2 turned in by his own admission on 60 Minutes over 100 people to the Nazi’s so he and his partner could sell their belongings.
Reporter was Steve Kroft who sat there with a smug smile. He gets paid to distract and cover up for the democrats.

BTW The Clintons had their daughters wedding at Soros mansion.
Cost was around $10 million stolen from the money given to the Clinton Foundation. The Haitians starving to death or dying from disease were unavailable for comment.

Trump has nothing to do with nazi’s or any other criminal act.
