I Deny your Reality, and Substitute my Own

Our banks were totally out of line, taking completely unnecessary risks, and nearly destroyed our economic system. Thousands and thousands of people have lost their jobs, and it could be years before we recover.

So who do Republicans blame? The goverment. Because it turns out we are in a
post-fact society. Our elected politicians are so committed to their ideas that reality can't shake them from it.

Most of us, in fact, are this way. We ignore unpleasant and inconvenient truths when they don't support things we like. I wish I had an answer apart from being frustrated with human nature and feeling like our society is rotting away.
