I don’t think they are insane.
I just think they either have extremely compromised consciences, or non-functioning consciences.
Insane is a term that gets people off the hook for their actions. These people just don’t care what they do to other people, that’s not going to bother them or change their behavior. It’s not a factor. But they know what and why they are doing and know its wrong and they don’t care.
When you present a sane person with fact, they accept fact. When you present an insane person with fact, they reject it. Sanity is the ability to determine fact from fantasy .
There are of course many associated definitions. However if you look at them, Liberals and a significant level of self professed right wingers also fit the clinical definitions through their actions.
Barry’s divinity, global warming, RINOS will govern conservatively upon election. None of these is factual at all. The history and science show the truth of that. Yet people believe them to be true and that ‘deniers’ are crazy.
They may as well say and believe the little mermaid lives in their aquarium at home. It is as factual as any of the above examples. And one would be insane to believe that the little mermaid lived in their aquarium. It’s not a difference of opinion. It is an outright rejection of demonstrated reality.
