Cognitive Dissonance is painful, and I believe Lefties will go to any lengths, no matter how specious, to avoid the pain of having your belief systems challenged.

Hardwired to obey: Why we keep believing the lie
July 28, 2025 | Maureen Steele

The Russia collusion hoax wasn’t just a political scandal. It was a masterclass in obedience psychology. Americans didn’t believe it because it made sense. They believed it because someone in authority told them to.

( Aka scientists experts academic liars, but I repeat myself - cuz61)

Fast forward to COVID. A doctor appeared on your television and told you to stay inside. Wear a mask. Take the jab. If you hesitated, you were selfish. A threat. An enemy of the people. The same experiment was being run again, but this time, at scale. And just like Milgram’s results, most people obeyed. Not because they understood the science. Not because they evaluated the risks. But because someone in authority said so.
