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.
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."
