>>They convince themselves there has to be a different explanation than its all intentional.
As a nation, we can’t accept that we are defeated. We’re broke. Our manufacturing ability in the nations of enemies. Our schools undermine patriotism. Our churches replace Christ with self-help seminars. The family is an artifact of the past. Our military is infested with homosexuals, women, and foreigners. Half of our citizens elected Obama, and other half quibble over the “perfect” conservative who will come in like a savior and fix everything.
So, we can’t accept that this is all intentional and that the communists did what no one else has ever been able to do: invade the US and set up beachheads in every city and college where they can beat us into submission.

Their minds simply do not accept anything outside of what is normal.
