Do Democrats Suffer From A Deadly Case Of Confirmation Bias?

“Confirmation bias, the tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with one’s existing beliefs.” – Britannica

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Confirmation bias, a phrase coined by English psychologist Peter Wason, is the tendency of people to favor information that confirms or strengthens their beliefs or values, and is difficult to dislodge once affirmed.

It appears that Democrats are in denial when it comes to bad policy. The recent elections in Virginia, New York and elsewhere have interestingly revealed the Democrat Party’s “confirmation bias.” Democrats just can’t seem see how voters disagree with them and their current economic, social, national security and cultural policies.

To understand watch the below video of Democrat-Socialist Alexandra Ocaseo-Cortez take on the red wave in Virginia:

Democrats expect, and in some cases (e.g. Covid jabs) demand that everyone agree with their mandated and biased policies or else lose their jobs, freedoms, health, welfare and human rights.

Democrats and Their Confirmation Biases

We have written about key biases held by Democrats. Biases that even science says are false. However, because these biases fit the Democrat Party narrative (i.e. confirmation bias) they are seen as undeniable facts, and not biased fictions and lies.

Here are a few examples of Democrat confirmation biases:

Individuals can choose their gender, science be damned. This confirmation bias is based upon the LGBTQ+ agenda that says there’s no male or female but rather anything one can come up with that they believe. Medical News Today lists 72 genders including: neutral gender, null-gender, genderless, neutrois, androgyne, bigender, butch, cisgender and on and on. This reminds me of Forrest Gump’s statement, “Stupid is as stupid does.” This isn’t science its stupidity.
Mankind can control the climate (weather), simply by passing legislation, mandating we use green energy and throwing trillions of dollars at it. This confirmation bias is not based on science. Rather it is based on a false belief that if we don’t do something the earth will end as we know it. It is the confirmation bias of the environmentalist movement.
All white people are racists and supremacists. This has become the rallying cry of Democrats even in the face of the truth. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.” As Americans we must judge people by their character not by anyones skin color. While we are all born equal nature and nurturing make us unique and different. Those who make bad decisions end up paying the price for their mistakes.
We must tax the rich. Taxations is the ultimate weapon of Democrats. Tax and spend is their mantra. From FDR to Biden today we are seeing massive spending bills coming out of the Democrats controlled Congress. As we write this Congress is voting on a $1.7 trillion spending bill filled with pork. The problem with taxing the rich is that eventually every taxpaying American feels the pinch. When the cost of fuel, food and services goes up, as it is under the Biden Build Back Better agenda, then everyone is getting taxed.
Islam is our friend and Jews (and Israel) are our enemies. The struggle between Islam and the rest of the world has been going on for over fourteen hundred years. Perhaps the flash point is the Israel and Palestinian conflict. We have seen, since 9/11 a growing effort to embrace Islam as a “religion of peace” when the actions of the followers of Mohammed is anything but peaceful. Yet we see Jews who are Democrats embrace confirmation bias in fear that they will be called Islamophobic. Which is worse, being called a name or having your throat cut?
Communism is better than free markets. We are seeing today how corporations in America are embracing Democrat policies over providing goods and services to their customers. In the first months of Hitler’s chancellorship, the Nazis instituted a policy of “coordination”—the alignment of individuals and institutions with Nazi goals. Institutions like: the public school system, corporations, social media platforms and even manufacturers have aligned themselves with the Democrat’s confirmation biases. Under Hitler culture, the economy, education, and law all came under Nazi control. So it is today with Biden and the Democrats’ Build Back Better agenda. EXAMPLE: Consider the 2019 controversy surrounding the Betsy Ross flag. When, shortly before Independence Day, Nike announced its plans to release an athletic shoe featuring the Betsy Ross flag, Nike spokesman Colin Kaepernick objected, condemning the flag as a symbol of racism and slavery. A social media storm followed. Consequently, Nike announced that it was halting production of the shoe. This controversy was trivial. But the episode points to something else. What is NOT trivial is the attempt to spread anti-American ideology into every area of American life and the fact that too many in positions of authority immediately retreat when confronted by “political correctness” and anti-Americanism.
Confirmation bias in public schools. The FBI has declared that parents who oppose Critical Race Theory taught in public schools are domestic terrorists. We have reported that our public schools no longer teach our children how to think, rather they are determined to teach our children what to think. Public schools have become propagandists for the LGBTQ+ movement. Public schools are not the places to teach children about this kind of perverted behaviors. What happened to public schools teaching our children to read, write and do arithmetic? This is just the tip of the iceberg. John Brownbill from the Save America Foundation wrote: I have to tell you all if I had kids in public schools anywhere in this country I would remove them and home school them. I would have probably gone to jail had my kids been at any of the above scenarios. How do parents keep their hands off these sick people in positions of authority that seek to further their sick and perverted ideology on our kids?
Confirmation bias in the Fourth Estate. Our government has three official branches—the executive, legislative, and judicial. But there is a fourth unofficial branch that is just as important. Thomas Jefferson once described what the fourth branch was. He wrote: “The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” Today we have a biased government and a biased press. Perhaps no where else is confirmation bias more evident than in the Fourth Estate. The term “fake news” is the best description of media obsessed and biased against telling the truth. What we now have is political propaganda, not news. This is especially true with the social media platforms of Facebook, Twitter and Google. Some notable exceptions are: Breitbart, The Ledger Report and the soon to be launched app TRUTHsocial.

Conclusion

Some may say that Christians are biased toward their beliefs. This is true as it is with those who follow Mohammed. The difference is in their actions toward one another. Christians love their neighbors, Islamists kill them.

One could say that conservatives (i.e. Republicans) are biased in their beliefs. That is true. Conservatives believe that the U.S. Constitution is truly the law of the land and guarantees each American citizen with the God given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Which bias do you hold? How do you look at what is going on today in your home, community, city, county, state and nation?

Do you suffer from confirmation bias or do you seek the truth, which will set you free?

We believe that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” We are conservatives with a conscience.

What are you?

Since the November 2021 special elections the Democrats are going through Kubler-Ross’ stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression. But will they accept what happened this November at the polls or continue their confirmation biases and party on as if nothing has changed?

The mid-term elections in 2022 may once again prove that we the people are fed up with the Democrat Party.
