Since you are married to a liberal you may be able to answer my question. How can intelligent people support something that is so obviously based on lying and distorting the truth?
I am thinking specifically of media people who distort and hide the truth as a matter of practice. Why? Don't they see that something that must be lied about is not worthy of their support.
I am an old guy who grew up with the Communist threat and I know a great deal about it. I am not looking for Communist techniques but instead what goes on in the minds of those Lenin called "useful idiots".
I don't have a simple answer. I would like to take a stab at it, but warning in advance, I fancy myself an amateur philosopher.
