(5,126 posts)He is right. Drinking the koolaid, started to describe cult-like behavior and it totally fits the way people are behaving right now.
Per Rush... the four corners of deceit... Government, Academia, Science and the Media
AND YET, checks and balances.... WE THE PEOPLE hold Government accountable, or at least we used to be able to do that.
Academia, isn't that where you learn to think for yourself? Where you are taught the basics and how to apply yourself thoughtfully to the tasks you choose and or are given? Where intelligent people study in depth things like Constitutional Law?
Science. Deceit. Really? OK. Sometimes evidence can seem to point to a wrong conclusion, but once new evidence is found and the case re-examined, scientists say, "Hey, more evidence changes the theory."
AND the Media is the Fourth Estate - got us out of the McCarthy era, Took Nixon down, eventually gets to the truth about a lot of things.

HOW DO YOU REACH THESE PEOPLE WHEN THEY LIVE IN BACKWARDS WORLD WHERE ONLY THE LIES OF THE CULT ARE TRUTH AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS FAKE NEWS???
And somehow we have to reach them or they will pick up their guns and go on rampages. Oh wait, that's already happened.
OK so if we CAN'T find a way through the crazy, the inmates will take over the asylum and we will all live in crazy town whether we like it or not.
