Does Hate Engender Irrational Thinking ?


There is little doubt that emotions can lead to poor decisions, but after witnessing the shenanigans that are presently going on in Washington, I seriously wonder if ‘hate’ can cause totally irrational thinking.

First witness the J6 committee, or more specifically one of the “Republican” representatives – the one from Wyoming, Liz Cheney. There is little doubt that she is pissed at Trump (DJT) because of some things that the former President said about her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. In fact I would go further and unequivocally say that she hates DJT, and even further, that she is consumed by this hate … and thus the question … Does hate cause one to think irrationally? This J6 committee is obviously a prejudicial political set up with the only “Republican” representatives being handpicked by Nancy Pelosi. The Wyoming primary is coming very soon, and polls demonstrate that Ms. Cheney is way behind. In essence she has given up not only a promising career, but also her ability to think rationally because she is consumed by hatred of DJT.

The other D.C. example of how hate can consume one, and thus lead to irrational thinking involves our present A.G., Merrick Garland, whose situation seems to be particularly sad and tragic. Prior to his bonehead decision to raid Trump’s Mir-a-Lago home, he would have been judged favorably by history. He would have been viewed as a person who could possibly have been a Supreme Court Justice if not for Mitch McConnell’s recalcitrance. But now the only way that history will view Merrick Garland will be as a hateful, politically controlled lackey who okayed the using of 30 armed FBI agents to raid Donald Trump’s home in Mia-a-Lago to look for … what? Was this raid the product of rational or irrational thinking? Although history will be the judge, I do have my personal opinion  … i think that deep seated hate clouded the judgement of an otherwise very intelligent man.
