Oh, I had a massive argument with a friend who’s heading to the Asheville protests. Asked her what the end goal big win for them is. No idea. Asked her why she’d vote Biden when he’s the biggest racist running in modern history. Gave examples of crime bill, his speech about “you ain’t black”, his corn pop crap, hanging with the Grand. Wizard, etc. She lost it. Full on screaming and shrieking. I’ve never seen her act like that. I’m really starting to believe they are either brainwashed or demonically controlled.
I can remember (don't Boomer me, okay?) when religious cults were seen as such a problem that you could get a job as a "de-programmer." (This was a big thing in the 70's.) Parents would hire them to remove (sometimes downright abduct) their brainwashed teenage children, then put them in a room, for hours at a time, day after day, tag-teaming them, doing exactly what Raindrops1984 was doing to his/her friend: "torturing" them with facts and logic and common sense till they just broke down and went sane.
Millennials even in their 30s are emotionally arrested by our dumbed-down education system. They have the emotional maturity of juveniles. They need to be de-programmed even worse than those cult-brainwashed teens of the 70's. Because the cult is nationwide--it is an entire political movement made of emotionally damaged, mentally underdeveloped young people, led by crooks and exploited by corrupt politicians.
Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug. Once you embed your beliefs, you defend them with force. You're trying to tell them everything they believe is wrong, all their core values.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. - Proverbs 15:1
This is compounded by safe spaces, organizations, and support groups who sit around telling each other how wonderful and brave they are. They are liberal with their bullshit but not at all liberal in thinking.
Yes, the Left's belief structure is very much a "house if cards" in that if you challenge one superficial belief, it has a cascade effect that flows all the way down to their central beliefs. Thus if voting for Biden is wrong then everything they've been told is wrong.
That's why they have such a violent reaction to even the slightest disagreement.
Got to watch a girlfriend perform a similar breakdown routine when I dropped some gun control truths in a mall food court. 50 years old and her mind broke. Crying, yelling. Known her for 40 years never seen her lose it over a boyfriend, husband, financial issues etc.
I've experienced this. She has nothing more than an emotional attachment to the protests and to voting for Biden. She hasn't used reason to reach any conclusions. When challenged with logical questions, she can't regulate those emotions and lashes out. As I said I've experienced this, with children.
Our education system appears to revolve around "Emoting" people into positions now that teams of psychologists have re-jiggered it entirely ... and dropped our math and reading levels.
Except that he was in the oval office 8 years with a black President and a Dem House and Senate and yet here we are. Well you know Republican obstruction and blah blah....
Actual argument I heard from a loon the other day.

When everything you believe in is obvious lies, thats a normal reaction
When reality is twisted by lieing, there are consequences.
I see this in my own life.
yep, cognitive dissonance.
People dont like it when they find out they are wrong and have been lapping up the wrong for years. It truly fucks with a persons brain.

"Emotional Thinking"
Common Sense is a learned skill
