The left’s love affair with doublethink

If you have a hard time following the logic of some liberal arguments, don’t worry. It’s not you.
Taking a page out of George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four,†our modern prog friends have mastered the art of doublethink — “the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.â€
As Orwell described the “labyrinthine†world of doublethink, it was “To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy.â€
