Sad but true on the above sentiment.
Yet, I have done a fair amount of research this past year on "mass formation psychosis" (it is a true thing, think of cults, Germany and its adulation of Hitler, etc.,)
I'd think the adulation of Biden was more in the line of cult Hitler. His cronies, his friends and the entire mass media lied about his mental health for four years and were ready to do so for another four. Even when it was blatantly obvious he was sick they were saying he was at the highest and fittest point in his career. He wasn't running the country, he wasn't signing anything, heck we don't even know who WAS running the country. Yet they prepped him to run until they could absolutely not hide it anymore. THAT is a cult!!

Sadly, it really is not easy to get people out of this state of mind, it truly is an "opening of the mind" to be rescued from this state, so you indeed captured the essence of the problem.

Your "posts" here lol tell me there is hope.
And btw, way I did actually study Augustine and Aquinas in my undergraduate philisophy classes, it was a Franciscan priest who taught those classes, he was profoundly intelligent. ;)
Does flying Conspiracy Airlines count as a "mass formation psychosis"?

Trump administration refuses to answer judge’s questions over El Salvador deportation flights, citing ‘state secrets’

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/worl...1&cvid=e436b75e7b22422892da1a516c80a089&ei=12

Donald Trump’s administration is refusing to answer any questions from a federal judge about deportation flights to El Salvador’s notorious prison under the president’s use of the Alien Enemies Act.

Judge James Boasberg had ordered government attorneys to answer a series of questions — including when those planes left the United States and entered El Salvador — to determine whether administration officials intentionally defied his court orders, which were delivered in court and in filings hours before the planes landed March 15.

For more than a week, the judge has pushed the administration for answers and extended deadlines for a response.

But in a late-night filing Monday, Trump administration officials and government lawyers said “no further information will be provided” in response to the judge’s questions “based on the state secrets privilege,” a rarely invoked claim that effectively allows the executive branch to block evidence in court over national security concerns.

“The court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it,” officials wrote. “Further intrusions on the executive branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the court lacks competence to address.”

The move escalates a volatile conflict between Trump and the judiciary in a case that legal experts are warning is teetering the country towards a constitutional crisis.

The filing — with sworn statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — claims the president has sweeping authority to remove “designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States.”

Under Trump’s use of the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act, “all Venezuelan citizens 14 years of age or older who are members of [Tren de Aragua], are within the United States, and are not actually naturalized or lawful permanent residents of the United States are liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as Alien Enemies.”

Does keying cars and setting them on fire count? Does buying gas guzzling cars count after you swore that the single most threatening crisis, existential, they screamed, count? How about assaulting young people in the subway for wearing a hat? Does that count?? How about those crocodile tears over illegal immigrants being sent back home? You want to talk cult crazy the purple haired, half woman, half man, pu%%y hat wearin', baby murdering, men tampon wearing, femi-nazi crowd are the cult. Total nutcases. Thankfully one of the biggest ones has moved to Ireland. Hope a huge bunch of them follow her.

The left suffers from short-term memory.

Actually, more like political gangstas in a close knit mafia cloaked as a political party.
They were in the illicit business of strip-mining and pillaging $$$ UNTOLD BILLIONS$$$ (probably trillions) from public taxpayer coffers.

They had it down to a science. The greatest criminal enterprise in all of world history by far.
Nothing else even comes close in terms of proactive, intentional conspiratorial RICO type crime sprees
and actual amounts stolen.

And the Bidenista clan were smack-dab in the middle of it, with full knowledge and intent.

It happens everytime time. The liberals help get the Marxists out then fall for their lies with the help of the communist media and vote them back in. Its a cycle that has been happening for years. Its more of a stupidity thing than a memory loss thing.

Since I have been alive I see 2 types of voters.

1. What can you do for me?

2. LEAVE US ALONE.

Number 1 usually, usually turns into number 2 when they figure out.........they never do anything for you.

When Joe Biden was running for the highest office in 2020 he made a speech. He said he was a proud Democrat. And that's why he's running for the Senate.

Months ago a Senator said they all knew Biden wasn't acting as president now and hadn't been for awhile. And they all know it.

I just wish he would have said who was acting as president in Biden's stead. I'm convinced it was BHO.

It's sad to watch how a mentally compromised man who did serve the Senate for decades could be so horribly exploited and abused by his own party . I think he's proof the Democrats will eat their own just to hold onto power.

Biden will go down in history as the most corrupt prez of all time. With the worst family.
He was stupid as well, but as a "made man", well protected by the DC swamp and untouchable.
