Hillary Wants A Comeback?

This is not impossible:

Since Hillary Clinton was defeated in her second run for the presidency, many have assumed that she’ll finally be going away for good. If they think that, though, then they don’t know the Clintons. Not only is Hillary not leaving the public eye, she’s already considering another run for the White House in 2020… or so the rumors go.

Sources say that Hillary’s recount efforts are just part of her long-term plan to run again in four years. And the person floating this idea is Ron Fournier, member of the White House Press Corps…

Streiff at RedState says yes. “…you can never go wrong by betting on Bill or Hillary Clinton to engage in craven opportunism,” Streiff wrote. “[T]he DNC is owned and operated by the Clintons. It is staffed by Clinton loyalists. It floats on cash raised by the Clinton fundraising apparatus. As we saw this year, if Hillary Clinton decides to put in her dentures, pull on her Depends, and make another White House run in 2020, no one in the DNC is going to stand in her way.”

I’ll bet they are all telling themselves this right now. The problem is Hillary, and her entire cabal, all need an amygdala relaxant. They don’t have a choice. The easiest way to relax that amygdala is to tell themselves that she didn’t really lose, because the battle isn’t over, and she will win in the future.

Clearly this isn’t practical. I do not see democrats ever supporting her as a candidate again. But it is worth examining as a case study in liberal amygdala-hacking to assuage aversive stimulus. I wouldn’t doubt that she not only could believe it, but that she would need to, simply to face the day.

This, writ large, is the problem with leftism, and amygdala atrophy. Human beings are designed to bend our actual reality to our amygdala’s desires, as a way to advance our position in the world. Once people in the nation start bending their perceptions of reality to assuage their amygdalae’s desires with fantasy, irrespective of reality, a collapse will not be far off.

r/K Selection Theory, because liberals need a good dose of reality, and nothing is as real to them as r/K Theory
