The Democrats’ cognitive dissonance
American Thinker ^ | 20 Nov, 2021 | Pete McArdle

Posted on 11/20/2021 5:01:59 AM PST by MtnClimber

Why do so many Democrats look, sound, and act insane? Because they suffer terribly from “cognitive dissonance.”

To be a card-carrying child of the Left, one must hold a variety of conflicting ideas to be true, regardless of whether they conform with each other, or worse, with reality. And when you deny reality, let’s face it, you’re mentally disturbed.

For a perfect example of the cognitive dissonance loyal Dems must endure, take United States Assistant Secretary for Health and four-star admiral Rachel Levine.

Start with the absurd belief that Levine should be a major player in the public health sphere. As Pennsylvania’s secretary of Health, Levine was responsible for the policy forcing the state’s nursing homes and long-term care facilities to accept COVID-19 patients who’d been treated at local hospitals. This policy caused immeasurable suffering and countless deaths, and on its own, should have resulted in Levine getting canned or resigning in disgrace.

But wait, it gets better!

Levine might have pled ignorance to the deleterious effects of exposing the most vulnerable to the Wuhan flu. However, shortly after that terrible policy was implemented, Levine’s mom, age 95, was abruptly moved out a Pennsylvania care facility and given safe haven. It would appear Levine was okay with other people’s mothers dying of COVID-19, just not Mama Levine.

The democRAT COVID plan was to create fear and panic. That lets them impose totalitarian rules. All orchestrated to this day.

As a Christian we can overcome “fear”.

“ Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Because they are indeed insane.....its not "Conitive Dissonance."

Look at Alex Baldwin, Joy Behar, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi who wanted crew served weapons installed by Milley at the Capitol.

America will continue to put up with it as long as this insanity is justified or excused by lies and untruths broadcast in the media, and perpetrated by untrue "Commissions" having no seated Republicans like Jim Jordan or Kevin McCarthy. The Jan. 6th "Insurrrrection" did not happen. And until that

INSANITY

becomes evident to America, we are headed for Civil War II.We have Americans kept in Gulags pursuant to a lefty created myth.Where is the

OUTRAGE!

Stop the Lies. The GOP has to grow some fortitude, and that effort requires the leadership of a Trump or a DeSantis.

This has been a core belief of mine for some time, that most if not all Leftists suffer from a mental disorder, the root of which is the cognitive dissonance that MUST invariably result from having to support things as true that are provably false, even to them.

Long before Obama. I saw the Cognitive Dissonance start back when Carter was in office, then it really amplified when Clinton was in office.

They actually believe their own lies no matter how logical or irrational they truly are. They live in a delusional alternate reality.

And anyone who plays along with their delusions is contributing to their mental disorder.

That’s right.

The Truth to the Left is whatever they WANT the Truth to be.

Not only that, playing along can get you killed as Dem cannon fodder, exactly as was discovered by Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, in Kenosha.

Nothing going into their ears actually reaches their brain. And if it accidentally does their brain doesn’t have the capability to even process it.
