The last day or so has been very instructive to reveal exactly how delusional, paranoid and violent the Left is. Not just their crooked leaders, but their innocent and gullible rank and file are gripped with existential terror, and speak of fleeing to Canada or committing suicide.
Someone has convinced them that roving gangs of Nazi KKK members in white hoods and black SS uniforms led by the Spanish Inquisition brandishing crucifixes are about to descend on their neighborhood and march the blacks, gays, and Mexicans off to death camps.
I trust I am not the only one old enough to remember that the same things, not similar but exactly the same, where said about Reagan just before his election.
A reader asks :”Why are the Hillary supporters so afraid?”
They are afraid for three reasons.
First, these are people educated with modern education, so they are gullible and unable to reach any logical conclusions from any facts no matter how obvious. They listen to the dishonest news, and the news lies to them, and tells them the world has ended.
They listen because they wish to be convinced. This is not a case of an innocent victim being deceived unawares. It is self-deception, where all members of the warren of rabbits tell each other the same ghost stories to frighten the whole warren into a delicious sense of danger. This brings unity.
When someone deceives himself, it is impossible to tell if it is sincere or feigned. Neither word is really meaningful in that context. These people live their lives like autohypnotists. You may say the autohypnotist is responsible for the acts he performs while mesmerized because the mesmerism is his doing; or you may excuse him from responsibility on the grounds that he is entranced. In either case, however, no one can break the spell but he himself.
Once the sleepwalker is on notice that he has been deceived by the polls, it is duty to see that he is not deceived by similar predictive falsehoods, say, regarding climate change, or predictions that socialized medicine will not result in mandatory euthanasia and higher costs, or other manifestations of junk science. If the sleepwalker tosses the alarm clock out the window, turn over, and returns to sleep, on his head be it.
Second, the guilty flee when none pursue.
