How can the Left be so myopic in not relating to the majority of we conservatives? I get that they're trying to push us Global and control; do they really believe they can browbeat and shame us into their scams? Why isn't Hillary getting prosecuted? Good ole' boys swamp covering for each other's scams. ???
Myopia is bred in unquestioning minds when they are exposed to a large intellectual forum, and the modern world is by far the largest intellectual forum humanity has ever seen. No matter how crazy or out there or fringe your personal beliefs are, you will not only find someone actively defending them, you can usually find someone further to the extreme than you are. If you only like to absorb information that confirms your previously held beliefs (strong confirmation bias), then you will become increasingly radicalized and myopic as time goes on. This phenomenon works for both the left and right.
If only the fringe had your clearity.
Conservatives are the targets of a successful dehumanization campaign (racists, bigots, deniers...). The cognitive dissonance from someone like Candace Owens must be piercing.
I understand what you're saying, and I agree. Candace Owens clearly causes cognitive dissonance among leftists. According to their world view, an intelligent, well-educated black woman should be firmly in their camp. Candace isn't.
Of course, Owens might have remained in the Left's camp if they hadn't abused her so badly. Their abuse caused cognitive dissonance for Owens, which she resolved by switching her allegiance. Again, no degree in head-shrinking or exhaustive one on one interviews needed. Owens described the circumstances which led to her conversion articulately and in great detail.
Owens is psychologically healthy. Healthy people respond to cognitive dissonance by examining their schema and reorienting themselves.
@MADcHATTER - no need to over complicate it. Calling conservatives racists against black people has become a knee jerk reaction from the left. Believing that Candace Owens, a black conservative woman is a racist against black people is contradictory.
Another example. The left calls conservatives Nazis. There are instances where Ben Shapiro, wearing his Jewish skull cap, is called a Nazi. This is contradictory (I'll allow for incredible ignorance from the children).
In regards to Clinton not getting prosecuted, money is certainly a factor...
