People are told that Obamacare premiums are going up, but it’s told to them like it’s a good thing! They just follow along and celebrate the rising premiums.
The saddest part? Some of these people are high-fiving their friends at the party they are having celebrating their awesome television appearance.
Leaving the references to George Orwell’s ”we’re increasing chocolate rations from 20g to 15g” aside,

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

Are perhaps the only ways to reach these fools.
There is no reaching them in time.
How in the hell can people be so ignorant and easily misled? It should be quite evident to anyone with two brain cells what democRats stand for. I guess these morons only have one brain cell.
“The eras of the nations, in which we live, bring us to the culmination and climax of man’s misrule . . .
“There is a well-known work, ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,’ which traces the descent of one of the great nations. Yet Rome was just a sample of all the rest. All other nations more or less conform to this pattern . . .
“It is of major importance that the people as a whole be given an opportunity to govern themselves. Without this, God’s great demonstration of human impotence would be far from convincing. Not only that, but it is very helpful to have so many varieties and gradations of popular rule. . .
“God is ‘trying’ a great number – I should not say of experiments – but a vast variety of demonstrations to shut man’s mouth; so that he cannot say that he has not had a fair opportunity to prove that he can govern apart from God. . . Apart from all being subject to God there cannot be and should not be a perfect government.”
A.E. Knoch (1874-1965)
Proof that even though there are times you SHOULD have cognitive dissonance – it isn’t guaranteed you will.
Probably a good litmus test for stupidity. Or brainwashing.
Yeah, Czar, it would have been a cherry on top if one of them claimed it was double plus good.
I suspect they are just SO happy to be on TV, and supporting a liberal cause, they’ll say anything. Like the interviews asking if Hillary was awesome in the debate the night before when there wasn’t one and they gush about how great she was.
‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ by E. Gibbon is the first set (three volumes) of books I ever owned. Had them since I was 13. It is a chilling documentary of an empire that once ruled one quarter of the world’s population.
Nothing has changed.
Our politicians are would be emperors.
Bread and circuses is now welfare, free cellphones and ESPN.
The mob is #BLM.
The Senate is still nothing but an ensemble of rich men who sold their souls for a pittance.
And the barbarians have been allowed to invade this country like a horde of locusts.
God help us.
Agreed, dadof4; their stupidity has *nothing* to do with Kimmel’s claim about “whether you agree with Obama or not”…but it *is* a prerequisite for voting Dem (though there are a fair share on the Right as well).
Czar: That article on cognitive dissonance assumes the left is cognitive to begin with.

A wise person once said that the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.

“How in the hell can people be so ignorant and easily misled?”
Government controlled education. Common Core.
We are awash in a sea of fools. Thank your local public school of indoctrination.
“It’s like…it’s in the air…”
WTF?
How can they use so many words and not make any sense whatsoever?
“How in the hell can people be so ignorant and easily misled?” These are the people the Democratic Party look for!
This is exactly why the lamestream media wants to convince the masses that it’s their “responsibility” to vote, and aim this disinformation campaign at the LoFos so that these people cast their votes for whomever Justin Timberlake presumably says is cool, since they can get a selfie while they do it just like him! It’s been reduced to little more than another virtue signaling opportunity.

. “How can they use so many words and not make any sense whatsoever?”
They learn the vocabulary through indoctrination, but don’t know the meaning of the words.
Hey, I think I may have answered my question of why the MSM grabs onto scripted words and phrases and aren’t even embarrassed that they all use EXACTLY the same words.
They don’t know how to interpret the words to find another way to say the catch phrase.
Why do you think democrats pushed the lower voting age?
Young dumb and full of stupid
