Is Leftism a Mental Illness?

[untermensche]

The problem is that we are all mentally ill.

No.

We are not born rational but can become rational.

Many are taught deliberately to be irrational with religious indoctrination (child abuse).

We can make rational judgements like: Claims about fraud that cannot hold up to the scrutiny of any court are not legitimate claims. And claims that Trump had legitimate claims but could not present them to a court are also irrational.

Yeah, it's our side that is mentally ill.

You're forgetting how many right-wingers honestly and passionately believe that the people in that image are all ANTIFA agents.

Of course they are! They're holding American flags, and Americans fought and defeated fascists in the middle of the 20th century. So these are obviously anti-fascists.

Quite a reasonable response.
Providing we all understand that "rational" and "agrees with me about everything I find important" means the same thing in this post.

Claims can be looked at.

It is not impossible.

I say a claim that Trump had any real evidence but could not somehow present it to the appropriate courts is irrational.

There is no human in the US that had more and quicker access to the courts than Trump.

If evidence was presented to courts that had no jurisdiction is was deliberate and a smoke screen.

Make a reasonable argument to deny all this.
