That awful moment when you're reading the leftist reaction to the Hannity/Cohen story on Twitter, and you realize that... side of the angels or not... most of these are not bright or thoughtful people either. They are just as capable as their opposition of taking what they hope to be true and working backwards from there. Running on pure cognitive bias, and thank god they at least picked the side I agree with to be fanatical about.

I'm coming to the increasing conclusion that the only thing keeping us from being them is the current lack of a cunning enough Lenin-grade bastard. I've gone through life hoping that there was something "better" about us, some superior reason or character or compassion that made us less prone to folly.
But this year has left me without any faith. I totally support leftist ideals, but it's increasingly despite my fellow travelers, not because of them.
Goddamn it.

@zebratron2084 We should get together and talk sometime. I think we both have some stories and perspectives to share.
