Very insightful assessment.
I’ve struggled for years trying to understand how those on the Left can maintain their contradictions, their hypocrisy.
There is no logic or reason, just a passion for a dream. A wish for what they believe should be.
Their Wish/Dream is their truth and it’s the only truth that matters and it is very real to them.
Everything is literally upside down.
Conservationism stands on a foundation, a process over time building on itself through trial and error as we strive for greater understanding. Bottom Up.
The Left starts with a belief that they already have that “Understanding” and therefore, are the enlightened ones. Top down.
It’s difficult to comprehend, however, if you look at issues from their perspective, top down, it makes some sense to them. They start with the/their Greater truth and reject any and all truth claims, that if established, would undermine their Greater truth.
There’s a serious religious component at work here.
The Left has adopted the secular humanist/Buddhist view, “I am God”
Conservatives tend to be more humble.
