Cognitive dissonance is the new "normal".
Cognitive dissonance is what we experience when what we sincerely believe to be true does not correspond or fit in with what we actually see or hear.
Most of us believe that personal integrity should be a baseline requirement for anyone being considered for the SCOTUS. We certainly don't think it would be OK for someone to be approved as a justice on our highest court if that person has demonstrably lied UNDER OATH! But, that's where we're at with the Kavanaugh nomination.
Even if we disregard the fact that he was nominated by someone who is credibly accused of several felonies, we have no rational way to reconcile the truth we know about Kavanaugh with the total lack of concern by Republican Senators and their "full speed ahead" attitude about voting to approve him. And, that's just the surrealism we confront with Kavanaugh.
On a near daily (hourly?) basis, the White House squatter spews fairy tales about important issues and we KNOW that what he says does not match our perception of the truth. By this point, we have wasted so much time and emotional energy in trying to make sense of this unprecedented divergence of truth and official bloviating that it is awfully tempting to say "to hell with it" and just quit paying attention to what "they" say. I think that would be a big mistake.
If ever a gang of grifters and thugs needed to be watched, it is the Trump regime. We are the majority. We are right. We MUST prevail.
Keep on keepin' on.
