Delusion: The Mind of the American Elite

​How do you identity delusory thinking? A few examples:

It is normal and beneficent to allow children to change their sex if they want to.

American elections are always completely fair and honest and to say to the contrary is false propaganda that undermines democracy.

A rowdy but unarmed walk by the people through their Capitol is an insurrection.

Military action in remote parts of the world, sometimes in behalf of former enemies like ISIS, is a mission to spread “democratic capitalism.”

Post-Soviet Russia is a threat to the United States.

Murdering women and children is the proper response to “terrorism.”

There is not enough talent among Americans so expert foreigners must be imported to make our corporations work.

America is really just an idea that allows anybody who believes in it to come on in.

Affluent government-paid people inside the Washington bubble know what is best for ordinary Americans, who should stop their ignorant populist complaining.

​The death of a criminal thug in police custody in Minnesota requires the destruction of 100 year old Confederate monuments.
