It's called "emotional protection," a defense mechanism designed to get us through life. When things go badly, or our fundamental beliefs are threatened, we often retreat from rationality.
And most of us don't even realize what's happening.
The most vivid example I can illustrate is the Joe Biden supporter. Exit polling in 2020 clearly showed that Mr. Biden's primary appeal was that he was running against Donald Trump. The election was actually a plebiscite on Trump - Biden was simply a name that could banish the flamboyant former president.
Now, President Biden is a five-alarm fire, a leader so compromised and befuddled it is shocking. But some will not acknowledge that obvious fact.
They have embraced "emotional protection."
The unintended consequence of fleeing reality is that reality will eventually knock on your door, bearing very bad news. Should Joe Biden extend his administration, Americans will suffer. It's just a matter of how.
That analysis is certain. Just so the supporters of Joe... know.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
