    The thing about denial is that it eventually comes crashing down. Cognitive dissonance takes a lot of energy to maintain, even if it’s unconscious. The libs on the big instances are in a precarious place because they’re not grounded in reality; even if they ignore what we’ve told them now, they won’t be able to do so forever.
