See? An ideologue will stretch his perception of reality to absurd lengths in order to avoid re thinking his ideals. Rachel Maddows has taken to calling the red and blue perceptions of reality Earth 1 and Earth 2 after the comic book dual fictional realities of yore. After covering something fairly absurd presented by Trump, she will introduce the next segment... "Meanwhile, here on Earth 1..." Attempting to repeat the other version of reality will get you no where. It is hardly worth trying.

I am tempted to just wait for reality to invalidate Earth 2, but a descendent of Bradford Forrest is still living in the world where slavery was correct and the south should have won the Civil War. There are tales of people during World War II sipping tea and cursing out That Man in the White House. Some will cling to their fake and hoax realities when for most people reality has moved on.

I guess I will occasionally reinsert Earth ! into the conversation occasionally. The conservatives occasionally do switch realities when their belief in the old gets increasingly hard to maintain. The collapse of the old values during a 4T is hard to miss. Even a conservative might notice. One can hope.
