Michael Savage used to famously say that liberalism is a mental disorder.  I used to laugh at that, but this is a pretty good explanation for the mass hysteria now on full display.  Liberals rely primarily on emotion and they often disregard inconvenient facts.  If one defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then one is also describing liberalism.  One of the sad consequences of insanity is that during times of stress it can border on suicidal.

Liberals are not upset that Hillary Clinton is not President.  They never actually liked her.  They are just devastated that Donald Trump is President.  They cannot bring themselves to endure the unendurable.  In their minds Donald Trump is a crude, ruthless lying xenophobic misogynist tragically and inexplicably inserted into the Presidency.  They simply cannot accept the fact of his Presidency.  They were desperately hoping that someone somewhere would find the longed for smoking gun that would remove this national nightmare.  Deep down they know that Russia did not steal the election and the Trump campaign didn’t want or need Russia’s help to beat Hillary Clinton but the alternative is to accept the legitimacy of the Trump Presidency and they cannot do that.

This is why they will not and cannot give up on the ridiculous nonsense that Russia, with the help of Trump, stole the election.  To give up on that would be to acknowledge that Donald Trump is the legitimate President of the United States and to liberals that is a fate worse than death itself.

This is why they can’t comprehend why anyone would be concerned about the Obama administration spying on the Trump campaign and his transition team.  In their delusional minds, this is not a crime; it is an actor of honor.  They would be far more upset if Obama wasn’t doing everything possible to resist the Trump Presidency.

This reminds me of the scene from “A Few Good Men.”  Colonel Nathan Jessup, played by Jack Nicholson, is outraged that a pipsqueak like Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee, played by Tom Cruise, would dare challenge him with regard to his duty to defend Guantanamo.  When Kaffee pushed him, Jessup responds by saying:

You can’t handle the truth…Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.  Whose gonna do it?  You?  You, Lt. Weinburg?  I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.  You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines.  You have that luxury.  You have the luxury of not knowing what I know.  That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives.  And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.  You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.  We use words like honor, code, loyalty.  We used these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something.  You use them as a punchline.  I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provided, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.  I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way.  Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post.  Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled too.

Liberals think they are Colonel Jessup defending the country from Donald Trump.  They are outraged that anyone would even care if they used extraordinary methods to achieve that goal.  But what liberals fail to grasp is that Donald Trump is the President of the United States, he was elected in a fair and honest election and he does not begin to resemble the monster they have created in their own delusional minds.  This is the consequence of liberals convincing their supporters and themselves that one must hate anyone who dares disagree with them.  They have deluded themselves into believing that those who disagree with them are not only wrong, they are by definition evil.  This blinds them to the real evil on full display by those they choose to admire solely because they appear to worship at the same altar of political correctness.  Those who cannot recognize evil, eventually embrace it ultimately leading them with no escape from the road to destruction.
