This essay on “groupthink” in modern America made me throw up in my mouth.

Then consider the Black Lives Matter movement, which has managed to become mainstream despite a myriad of evidence proving the claims that motivating its followers false. The birth of the Black Lives Matter movement as reported in the mainstream media rose from the officer-involved shooting of robbery suspect Mike Brown in Ferguson, Mo., where they coined the phrase “hands up, don’t shoot.”

Groupthink made that the mantra of numerous protests and riots that have followed multiple officer-involved shootings; yet two independent autopsies and a slew of eyewitness reports proved that Brown did not have his hands up and that initial reports from his friend and accomplice were false. As the “group” doesn’t trust or consider these facts as true, they continue to push a false narrative that has resulted in costly, violent riots.

Groupthink is leading to ridiculous circumstances in the almost daily protests following the 2016 presidential election of Donald J. Trump. Over a year of immersing America in the most toxic election resulted in a large swath of college-age Americans who actually believed, despite the most basic knowledge in government and law, that they could somehow reverse the results of a national election by protesting.

Worse off, these permit-less protests were often ignored by local law enforcement, which created dangerous traffic jams where medical response and the ability to commute by taxpayers was hindered.

The absolute proof that America’s collective groupthink problem poses a danger has unfortunately emerged from the right side of the aisle. On Dec. 4, 2016, Edgar Maddison Welch of Salisbury, N.C., committed a shooting inside a D.C. pizzeria claiming he was investigating the internet conspiracy theory known as “pizzagate.”

Indeed, protests over the constant murder of black people by the police IS EXACTLY THE SAME as an armed asshole acting on an internet rumor of Hillary Clinton running a child sex ring out of a DC pizza parlor.

I hate our media so, so much.
