Conservatives and the GOP are already locked into groupthink and are at the beginning stages of dehumanizing white male liberals. Together they represent an existential threat to the US and our way of life. Together they will usher in an authoritarian state.
Human beings evolved to work best in groups. And, like all other mental disorders, we can take that group effort into the realms of madness. The GOP and conservatives have done just that. Luckily, the counter-weight to their madness is also rests in our efforts as a group.
While it is fun watching the Keystone Kops get themselves out of their healthcare debacle, it is also our future. Luckily, psychology has some advice that might could help if they would only take it.
We live in an extraordinarily stupid era. Where does the stupid come from? Why are we being governed by such stupidity?
The massacre in Orlando, the anniversary of Newtown, the sit-in on the floor of the House: why does the pro-gun lobby have such a strangle hold on government? Science can explain it and recommend some actions to take.
Ever wonder why the GOP seems to be perpetually at odds with everyone? Groupthink explains it all.
