I believe that you believe that, so we're good.One of the symptoms of hardcore partisan ideology is that the afflicted individual doesn't realize that their perceptions and thought processes have been distorted by the condition.Got it. I'm sure your "side" has it all nailed. Thanks.I suggest you get your eyes and ears checked.Yes, I hear that from both sides.

Speaking for myself, I don't lie and make stuff up. Dishonesty is typical in the posts and threads by those who support Trump, and the racists, misogynists, all around bigots and many single issue voters.
So, an afflicted individual can literally believe, at least on a conscious level, that they are being perfectly honest when they are in fact going through life with only one eye open, advancing simplistic partisan ideas, and avoiding/ignoring/denying all input that conflicts with their ideology.
One of the many similarities in behaviors of both ends of the political spectrum.

Thanks Dr. Phil, in my graduate program I took the two semester course on "Testing for Counselors"; in the course we took a psychological test every other week, learning its reliability and validity score and the scored tests completed by others. Of course mine was tested by others too.
Numbers allowed for anonymity and allowed us to review our scores on a variety of tests, from the MMPI to Rorschach to drawing (person, family, house, tree), the the WAIS (The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale)
So if you comment was directed to me as subtle ad hominem, I can assure you I have more evidence that I know my self than many other do, and, I recognize my biases and prejudices.
