How to put this into words.......

6. one thing to consider is that

their constant repeating of lies to one another- (and that is what it is) may be because they know, deep down,
that something isn't 'right' with their stand. Like their conscience is poking them and making them uncomfortable, so they spout off their "beliefs/talking points" looking for support- and conformation, and when they get it from each other it numbs their doubts a little.
If someone dares to say something that deepens their self-doubt, it makes them really angry and unsettled.

People who are secure in what they believe don't usually have to keep looking for others to confirm that theirs is the correct position for them. They aren't threatened by those who hold opposing views, and can point out why they believe what they do with facts and reason.

I think the level of crazy in the republican party is as high as it is, because people are fighting really hard to believe the unbelievable and to defend the indefensible-

at least from what I'm seeing and experiencing.
