Rationalization
the action of attempting to explain or justify behavior or an attitude with logical reasons, even if these are not appropriate.
Because the Left is emotion driven, they are masters at rationalizing why their emotion based opinions on issues fail.
It why they are screaming "racists" at everyone who challenges their opinions on anything political. In their heads, their dogmas cannot possibly be wrong, so anything that challenges those dogmas is screamed down
Thanks for that.
