    I’ve been calling it a mental illness for at least a decade. I suspect it’s similar to narcissism and empathetic impairment, but there is a clear corruption to the way they process logic, as evidenced by the constant double-think.

    “my abortion was different”

    “won’t someone think of the children” but also let em starve and die in a mass shooting.

    “Trans and gays are pedophiles” but also my teams pedos and sex criminals have my undying support.

    There are literally thousands of examples like this. There isn’t a day that goes by where I see them display some glaring contradiction.

      Fox News has been spreading this disease since 2000 (and the crazy right wing talk radio even longer).

      This is a much deeper and longer problem than many want to admit.
