Watching Game Change on HBO, MOST if not all cons are like Palin to certain degrees..

...when it comes to having their thinking challenged; they shut down totally or display varying degrees of infantile responses.

One of these varying degrees of infantile responses is conservatives ability to make up realities, just totally make up shit with the slightest bit of confirming evidence in existence.

A way conservatives shut down is to blame anyone, like Palin did in the movie, blame ANYTHING that makes them face their irrational logic or the fact that they have fucked up realities and people laugh at them.

I think one of the keys to learning how irrational we ALL can be is to study conservatives.

Not study them like they are animals in cages who've been ball gagged with a strap on tapped to their foreheads but study them like people who have very narrowly focused mental problems.

Your take?

Thx

1. My estranged sister is a conservative.

But I don't think she's mentally ill, she's just a cold bitch.

3. ...maybe a disorder then? Palin personifies conservatives I've debated in the past...

...Julian Moore is spot on in the movie

5. Just finished watching it.

Moore was amazing! So was Woody Harrelson. Ed Harris as McCain came across as too likeable. McCain is anything but.

2. same reason

..they can't figure out who is against their own best interest

4. People are primarily rational, but they do have thin veneer of emotion.
