100%, Servo1969.

I have said this for years, that liberalism is a mental disorder, and they are dangerously unstable because they live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance.

In Orwell’s “1984”, they have to constantly engage (as second nature) in “Doublethink” (the ability to hold two completely contradictory thoughts simultaneously while believing both of them to be true)

This is not the act of pretending to believe both things have to be true...critically, this is the goal of BELIEVING both things to be true, even though they cannot be.

This is the normal state of affairs in modern liberalism, and it is sick and unhealthy, and explains why most acts of violence of all kinds (particularly mass murder) are committed by liberals.

Doublethink: knowing the truth but selectively rejecting it in favor of ‘politically correct’ madness. Those who select madness are afraid of rejection, of being called names, of being cast outside of the herd. Being brought into a condition of double think is to the lunatic Left the fruit of the consensus process.
