Jack Butler: The Left is Still Denying Reality: Transanity and "The 4a.m. Club"

I've been mostly ignoring "The 4 a.m. Club"...despite the fact that it counts toward my longstanding prediction that, when political correctness arose again, so would New Age woo. It's a really fringe view, and just doesn't seem that significant to me.

   But the general phenomenon is very significant--the thing that PC and NAW have in common: the outright denial of plain facts.

   In fact, the Dems can't even admit the fairly low-grade, non-theoretical fact that transanity is a losing issue for them. Even if they can't bring themselves to admit that men are not women, they ought to be able to compare simple whole numbers less than a hundred... Even if they think that men can be women, they ought to be able to admit that most people disagree.

    But PC--basically the same thing as Woketarianism--is the subordination of facts to leftist politics. It's Lysenkoism expanded outside the bounds of science.

   Over and over and over the left simply refuses to acknowledge that the plain facts contradict their political commitments.
