On some level, their conscience cries out that they are wrong which embarasses, disturbs, and angers them. But instead of rationally considering the merits of the argument, they defensively search the answer that will relieve them of the distress of being so very wrong, and the cliches fly out of their mouths mindlessly as they “feel” empowered again, and ANGRY at having been forced again to defend themselves from this attack by this terrible, somethingIST.
We Shall Overcome.
