They’re deranged because they’ve set themselves up in opposition to reality.
They’ve been almost completely protected in an alternate reality cocoon built for them by the MSM and the academic world. Everyone played along, even supposed “Republicans” like the Bushes.
Now they’ve got to deal with a President who has the bully pulpit, knows how to use it, and doesn’t give two excrements about their alternate reality.
That situation would derange anyone. It’s like The Truman Show, or Pleasantville, with them as the victims.
Well-said, Tom.
“They’re deranged because they’ve set themselves up in opposition to reality.”
I see it as 180 degrees off from that. They are set up in opposition to reality *because* they’re deranged.
This is why I am sick to death of those who keep demanding we just win by debate or whatever other known loser tactic/strategy.
These people are in an entirely different mind-world. Heck, even the meaning of words used in discussions aren’t the same between their delusional world and our real world.
