Another freeper thought this deserved to be vanity post vs. a thread response.

For what it's worth...

Nicely stated.

Too bad it also describes the GOP.

Good analysis. It applies quite well.

It clearly does not apply to conservatives at present, where there is great dissension and numerous points of view.

The Democratic Party, Scientology, the Moonies, Jim Jones’ fools, etc, etc - all cults. Sheeple need shepherds and herding dogs. Reminds me of that Far Side cartoon of the sheep all standing around at a party and one saying “Thank God!” - as a collie shows up at the door.

The MSM was assigned the role of mind guard. The front of objective journalism was established with phony awards like the Pulitzer to promote the myth of journalistic integrity. There are no journalists on the left, just pitchmen.

Excellent post.

Ayn Rand called groupthink social metaphysics. Social metaphysicians consider the opinions of the group to be reality.

“Striving for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action”. Common sense.
Plato, Republic: prisoners are stuck in chains and cannot move their heads. What are the chains? Read Plato, Republic.
Narcissism: people are stuck in self-esteem boosters and cannot relate to the less fortunate. What is the cure? Read Plato about Integrity.

Excellent analysis.

Keep in mind also the 3 Liberal Rules of Truth. Every statement they make falls under at least one of these rules.

1. Truth is whatever serves the Party.
2. If you repeat something often enough, that makes it true.
3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.
