The defining trait is doublethink. Or, as Orwell put it, believing that 2+2=5.

Most people think 1984 is all about surveillance and loss of freedom under Big Brother. But, it is doublethink that props up Big Brother, the propaganda, and the entire totalitarian system. And doublethink is all over American culture, hence the rise in fascism and authoritarianism and overall idiocy.

Doublethink is the cognitive ability to hold two contradictory beliefs and think both are true at the same time. Rather than feel shame, the doublethinker feels pride in knowing they can cognitively stand astride reality and believe falsehoods are truth. They have to believe that to avoid guilt and shame. That's why MAGA-GQP is impervious to facts and logic. That's why MAGA-GQP always feels superior to everyone, especially any intellectuals -- elitist, educator, leftist, scientist, philosopher, etc... -- who might demand consistency. The media will never demand that in any rigorous manner.

It is doublethink -- and the ability to get away with all over the media/cultural landscape -- that empowers MAGA-GQP-Christian theocrats. It's one thing to show the funny hypocrisy, but no one will really press them on the doublethink as a form of madness.

Orwell knew doublethink was madness. That the ultimate warning in 1984.

OrwellDthink.jpg

To add to this, there are a lot of “smart” and seemingly “rational” people (hello in laws) that are right on the edge of this. They know what they are doing is wrong, but if they can just justify it a tiny bit to push them over the edge, they’ll vote Dotard again. It’s crazy to watch. They just tip toe along the edge, but as we get closer to November , it’s going to be harder for them to hold back. Especially once the CARAVANS! and such start coming on the “news”.

Perfect.  I can’t believe Trump hasn’t proposed renaming the R party the Trump party.  Let’s go all in.  Wipe out his legal debt w party funds.  Then build up more legal debt…rinse and repeat.  Glorious.

This is an absolutely insane sentence to say out loud and it is batshit that there will be zero repercussions for it.

 

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA): We shouldn’t be joining hands with Democrats just to show that we can govern or get things done no matter how harmful to the American peopleHost: Even if that means a government shutdown? Good: It’s not ideal but it’s not the worst thing

Doublethink huh? 

How about this? What if I told you that it's a self defense mechanism?

Surprisingly, IPC has been found to intensify, not abate, as the members of the public become more proficient in the forms of critical reasoning essential to science comprehension (Giner-Sorolla, & Chaiken 1997; Kahan 2016).  Numeracy is an aptitude to reason well with quantitative information and to draw appropriate inferences from data (Peters et al. 2006). Thus, the individuals who are highest in numeracy are the best able to recognize whether evidence from a controlled experiment displays the pattern of covariance that supports or negates a hypothesis—unless that evidence relates to a politically charged issue (e.g., gun control).  In that case (Figure 2), the most numerate people are even more likely than the least numerate ones to construe such evidence as supporting the factual beliefs that prevail among people who share their political identity no matter what its true import (Kahan, Peters, Dawson & Slovic 2017). 

 

IPC= Identity-Protective Cognition

Note that the ones that dig in the hardest are the more Numerate ones. 

At all costs defend the con, because they can't bear to be outside of the group.

FIL trotted this out when the wife and I were talking about going to NYC this year.  Good to see he's still getting the talking points.  I then explained how we just got back from downtown San Francisco and weren't murdered or stabbed with needles or walking through piles of shit.  He was flabbergasted.

That is my Dad to a tee. He was an airline pilot and talks about how much safer NYC was when he used to have layovers there and he would bring along me or my mom for visits to the city. This was the late 80s/early 90s, the absolute height of violent crime in NYC (and every other city in the US). "I wouldn't even step foot there today," he says (facepalm).

It's considered common knowledge that when you venture into a town where the buildings touch, that Huggy Bear will sidle up and talk to you in jive while his compatriots pick your pocket and give your children free samples of loco weed.

Best to stay out on the edge of things like Daniel Boone, if Boone circled the Sam's Club parking lot looking for a space near the door.

As stupid as the clips are, they really show you people who are so beholden to arriving at an end result (Republican/Trump good!  Must.Defend.Trump.) that they knowingly disregard truth and logic.  They will shamelessly reverse themselves and twist themselves into any pretzel, no matter how absurd.

The real question isn’t why are they so stupid, or how did education fail them.  It’s how they became so corrupted and why they have so little self-respect.  What makes someone not feel any shame over making a fool of themselves to defend the indefensible?  What makes someone abandon all values other than “I must obey some fucking politician I’ve never met who doesn’t give a shit about me and treat anything he does like it’s coming from the messiah.”  

The defining trait is that they’re pathetic, not stupid.

The fact that all these congress critters are so fuckin desperate to keep their seats should tell us they're being paid way too much for the amount of work most of them do. We should knock em down to minimum wage and then we'll see who really wants to serve.

If the Democrats can't beat a party that wants to end recreational sex, there's no hope for this country.

 

"It seems to me that a good place to start would be a feminist movement against the pill, & for... returning the consequentiality to sex."Conservatives have to lead the way in restoring sex to its true purpose, & ending recreational sex & senseless use of birth control pills.

Late reply but these mf-ers are the ones who sowed the seeds of today's GOP. Politicians like Barbour or Bush Jr. spoke again and again about illegals voting, election fraud, etc. etc. Get more of their base convinced that elections were rigged. They just wanted to make it slightly more difficult for non-whites or liberal whites to vote. Not entirely but just enough to so that you know Bush is working to save democracy.

Now they're pissed that they've lost control of their own creation.

It's always hilarious to me how, despite their experience of being dumber than almost everyone throughout their lives, the dumbest people have absolutely zero doubt that they've got the real info that the rest of us sheep are missing.
