Confessions of a liberal.

Many conservatives cannot understand why so many far left rabid liberals can say and do so many wacky things.  Not being liberal brained, and it is a physical/hormonal thing I'm quite sure, their point of view is simply too illogical, too emotional, too full of shark jumps to really get.  Their reality is not my reality; theirs is a strange fantasy world where the sky is pink and unicorn farts make up the atmosphere.  It is a shared mass delusion.

I mean, what do you say to a person who is 100% convinced that every lie coming from the liberal media is G_d's truth even when those things being said are beyond the pale.  It's like someone reads a tabloid and then all of a sudden thinks they know everything about everything.  If Huff  Post says Trump is a racist and therefore he's not only a racist but a mass murdering genocide one. If I call someone "a Hitler" it is meant to describe their actions.  But when a rabid liberal does it, they actually mean the guy is either Hitler or his clone.

None of this can make sense hearing it from me, so I suggest that everyone who really wants to see the mass delusion that can be stirred in the brains of liberally wired people, please, please, please watch this video, or at least the first 10 minutes of it.  In it, Mark Levin interviews the founder of the Walk Away Movement, Brandon Straka.  Simply by watching him, you can see that Brandon is a reasonably intelligent guy.  He's well spoken and articulate.  He's also a self professed gay man who naturally thought that he should be a democrat.  After all the dem tag line is that "care" about minorities.

Again I urge people who don't understand how the left can be so crazy to watch this vid.  Listen to Brandon as he openly admits how he and his liberal mind were completely manipulated into being a Trump hater even though he knew nothing about Trump.   Brandon does a great job of explaining that he was fearful of all these Baba Yaga stories he was being told about Trump.  It was affecting his sleep.  He does a great job of describing the steps he went through to get to his personal awakening.

I personally believe that everyone has a mix of liberal and conservative traits and that they tend to complement each other if there is balance.  It's when things get unbalanced that you start to see the crazy come out, both in far right and far left.  But my observation is that people who are overly liberal tend to get flustered easily when new information comes into their brains.  Conservatives tend to be able to handle it and react better.

In the case of Straka and so many others like him, the liberal media that they trusted went into overdrive to attack Trump and so their readers got pulled along for the fantasy ride.  But after a while, all of the horrible things they said about Trump didn't materialize.  Sure, he stopped with the rainbow lighting of the White House that Obama used as a manipulation tool, but nobody got rounded up and "re-education camps" for LBQTQ never materialized.

As time went by, I think it has dawned on more and more like Straka they have been used.  Their human vulnerabilities have been weaponized against them.  Importantly, their pride has also been hurt for having fallen for what is now so obviously complete leftist bullshit.  Straka and others like him have now had time to figure out what the fuck really happened and they increasingly are coming to terms with it.  This is not going to bode well for the left IMO.  They jumped the shark and now everyone with a brain, including many who used to be affected the worst, can now see it.
