If you have a hard time following the logic of some liberal arguments, don’t worry. It’s not you. Taking a page out of George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” our modern prog friends have mastered the art of doublethink — “the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
As Orwell described the “labyrinthine” world of doublethink, it was “To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy.”
In the novel, the examples are plentiful: “War is peace.” “Freedom is slavery.” “Ignorance is strength.” But they are just as plentiful in real life: “Equality is racism” (if you oppose special treatment for one race, you are guilty of a hate crime). “Truth is a lie” (political correctness run amok forces people to say that which they know is untrue). “Hate is love” (attacking Trump supporters is necessary to make them see the light).

Maybe leftists were just put here to amuse us.
It is simply the thinking of a mind controlling cult.
Attacking Obama supporters won’t help because if they support that guy,they are probably incapable of seeing the light/the truth anyway.
Yup the left is definitely a cult.
Their problem is, they don't even have single-think. Thanks MtnClimber.
In a sufficiently wealthy society its members can get away with this sort of poor mental hygiene because there are few consequences. Believing that A is B if only you want it to be will get you fired from an engineering job or dead if you try to fly a plane that way, but if you don’t have or need a job because you get a check in the mail anyway, no problem. If enough people behave that way, the support infrastructure collapses - Venezuela - and the checks stop coming and you get to pretend that starvation isn’t real. In civilization terms, that sort of stupidity is self-correcting if you wait long enough. Problem is that the stupid tend to drag the rest of us down with them when they go.
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."
Absolutely, hypnotism is real and many, many folks, to varying degrees, are mass hypnotized. They could be saved from the mass hypnosis if Conservatives would learn what it takes to break their hypnotic spells and subtlely do so.
Most people do not realize that at the time of Hitler mass hypnotic techniques were just discovered and written about. Hitler read about the techniques and implemented them. They are very, very powerful. Look at the German people for evidence of this fact.
The left has studied these techniques and manly of them implement them on a regular basis. The reason that leftist are so unreasoned is because they are literally hypnotized into it. Reason doesn’t matter to many that are hypnotized.
