The Mass Psychosis of Liberals

Liberals twist facts and reality, excusing their own bad behavior while ascribing to others the very “crimes” they are, in fact, guilty of committing.

It’s been my lifelong observation that liberals are a mostly conflicted, tormented group suffering from mass psychosis. They wrap themselves up in do-good, virtue-signaling knots and then attempt to rationalize positions even they know are indefensible by putting forth the most tortured, illogical explanations imaginable. Merely calling those positions “lies” doesn’t go anywhere near far enough. Liberals have mastered the art of wanting to believe in a false reality, constructing a Bizarro Universe, while at the same time, excusing themselves for committing the very same transgressions against society and nature that they accuse others of doing.

Let’s look at a few examples. Some of these are constants across the decades, while other situations are more transitory in character, driven by the events of the day. But the factor that remains the same in each circumstance is the liberal approach to twisting facts and reality, excusing their own bad behavior while ascribing to others the very “crimes” they are, in fact, guilty of committing.

The Rich Don’t Pay Their “Fair Share”

This one is especially risible, because it’s so easily disproved with just the barest minimum of effort. The top 1% of earners collect 21% of all the income earned in the country, yet they pay an astonishing 40% of all the income taxes paid in America. As the most ridiculous of Squad members adorns herself in a designer dress costing several thousand dollars brandishing the words “Tax the Rich,” she doesn’t even realize that the rich already pay far more than their fair share, nor does she make the connection that her congressional salary puts her squarely in the “rich” category she so fervently disparages.
