Good analysis. I hadn’t thought about it quite that way.
Think of it like this. 60% (roughly) of America is clinically insane. Reality denial is a well established component of insanity.
Before even getting into the whackjobs at men seeking men outlets, look at the DNC platform and how many people push those policies and believe in them fully. that’s almost 50% right there.
Then you have moderates that display schizophrenia switching back and forth and back again between polar opposite candidates and positions. There’s at LEAST 10% of the population.
Then you have right winger types (so they claim) that think one gets conservative governance by voting for proven liberals with magic R’s on their titles.
Well over 60% in total even if you back off a percentage or 5. All the above behaviors are classic indicators of insanity. Complete inability to deal with reality.
