Thanks, Rich. Yes, I think this must be said boldly and frequently. The mass delusions, the mass hysteria of the Left are as dangerous as they are laughable.

What's amazing is that some of these people actually believe the insanity that they're spewing forth. (Some don't, of course.) But the power of denial can never be overestimated.

The tale of Oedipus and Jocasta was laughable until Sigmund Freud explained it in terms of the subconscious mind. Then, of course, it made perfect sense; they knew all along that they were mother and son.

The Left is similarly in denial about President Trump and his immense virtues, brilliance, and heroism; they just want the truth not to be so as desperately as Oedipus and Jocasta wanted the truth not to be so.

It's an old, old story, as old as Western Civilization itself, and it appears that Western Civilization is going to destroy itself because of the very things that the Greek tragedies warned against at the very beginning of Western Civilization: hubris and denial.

Nobody can say that they weren't warned. Oedipus and Jocasta were warned too.

Yup...they project unicorns and rainbows...they know it isn’t true but since they work together and all their beliefs are the same, they change their lie into an imaginary truth and live it out...they are insane...remember the line, “i don’t know how he won, no one i know voted for him...”...group think
