The Left Is Still Denying Reality

It’s not every day that ideas from quantum physics pass into political discourse. (Not in this dimension, anyway.) But extremely online leftists believe not only in the existence of alternate realities implied by quantum theory, but also that we’re in one. We have been since 4 a.m. on Election Night last year. That’s when they had “a shared mystical experience” indicating that our reality had branched from the true one in which Kamala Harris won the election, according to Gia Prism, a self-proclaimed psychic and medium. That’s one way to cope with an election loss.

The so-called 4 a.m. clubbers may sound deranged. That’s because they are. But almost nine months since Donald Trump won the presidency back, others on the left are also still denying reality in different ways, especially on trans issues.
