Groupthink
From Michele:
I would have loved to explain this all to the young girl with the Global Studies notebook. I worry that she'll be just another future voter who will be blind sided into thinking that America is a fascist regime and Bush is the Hitler force behind it. I was once that young girl. I was once ambushed with propaganda, false statistics, conspiracy theories and outright lies that suckered me into a groupthink mentality. It took several years and an attack on our nation to allow me to see the true faces of the people I had been associating with. I look around today and I see the claws of the left snatching up young, impressionable people, showering them with a steady rain of fear and hatred, teaching them to harness their negativity and breath it out in the form of fire. Dragons. Dragons with the face of Al Gore. Think about that one for a while.(emphasis - Ed.)
I mentioned in my earier post:
It's about instilling the tenets of the liberal collective into the hearts and minds of the individual. It's about absorption.

ick...fire breathing, sweaty Al Gores. I don't think I want to "think of that one for awhile".

It's even sadder when the people aren't young any more. Some of us question our irrationality, echo-chamber groupthink, slogan-based-cognition, and biases; others spend the same time entrenching them. People I used to think of as intelligent now spend any time they have among others in political coprolalia and policing each others' opinions. I just stay home and avoid them. "Sing along with George Soros" holds no appeal for me.
