Defines AOC and the Democrats pretty well.
"...Ocasio-Cortez is ideologue. She can’t “lose” and she is not humbled when she cannot answer a simple policy question or is abjectly wrong about a subject, because she thinks ideologically. Her answers, outlook, and attitude are predetermined absolutely, because they are all derivations of an ideology that is utterly shock-proof. There is no experiment, fact-check, or body of evidence potent enough to disarm her, plainly because a person who thinks ideologically will not be allow themselves to be refuted.
Twentieth-century political theorist James Burnham, writing in Suicide of the West, defined the ideological thought process as a systematic, self-contained set of ideas dealing with the nature of reality and an individual’s relation to it. The primary function of ideology, Burnham contended, is to adjust attitudes and perception, not to state truths. Ideologues such as Ocasio-Cortez cannot be dissuaded by logical analysis or empirical evidence.
It is the ideology, not fact, that defines what will be accepted as truth, reason, or “morally right.” The ideologue will merely reinterpret, deny, or deflect facts so they become consistent with their outlook, or pose no threat to it. Ideologues press forward in optimism that they are on the right side of History, Progress, and Justice...."
