When will I learn to not look at the twitter? Strassel's is filled with people denying the reality that Schiff lied about collusion, lied about testimonies, lied about all of it calling it fake news. I guess whatever it takes to maintain their cognitive dissonance.

cognitive dissonance

Cognitive dissonance is a term for the state of discomfort felt when two or more of a person’s different cognitions contradict each other. The clashing cognitions may include ideas, beliefs, or the knowledge that one has behaved in a certain way.

Every leftist I ever met.

Cognitive dissonance is followed by regressive recapitulation of the persona, wherein the contradiction is avoided by the person ignoring the dilemma and going back to behaviors and beliefs they held before their beliefs came into conflict. A rage response towards the subject(s) often rises as an defense mechanism to avoid facing the contradictions again.

TDS, anyone?
