The Left’s Emotional Conditioning Exposed [WATCH]

Political commentator Tom Basile said liberals are often driven by emotion rather than reason, arguing that the frequent use of emotionally charged language by left-wing groups conditions supporters to respond irrationally.

“You know, I’m so often asked why liberals are so miserable, angst riddled and angry. The painful and sad truth is, is that they have been conditioned to be that way,” Basile said.

He pointed to specific words commonly used in political discourse.

“Words used by the left to increase their customer base, like fairness and equity, or alternatively, racist and Nazi, are all very emotional language. They are so overused in the context of emotion and without rational Foundation, they mean virtually nothing at this point,” he said.

Basile said institutions and organizations amplify what he described as exaggerated claims.

“There is a reason that woke schools and left wing commentators and organizations like Public Citizen and the teachers unions drive these wild claims of rampant racism and Phantom threats of Nazism running amok and catastrophism over climate change or anything that Donald Trump does,” Basile said.

He argued that emotional reactions can override rational decision-making.

“Miserable, scared, and angry people are using the emotional side of their brain far more than the rational people who are encumbered by heavy emotional burdens are often totally irrational,” he said.

To illustrate his point, Basile referenced how the legal system treats crimes committed in the heat of the moment.

“That’s why in this country, a man who walks in on his wife being sexually assaulted and kills the attacker is deemed in our legal system to be treated by a different standard crimes of passion or heat of the moment can mitigate the murder charge over emotionalism is why we also see so many women and effeminate men partaking In today’s left wing protests,” he said.

Basile also commented on gender differences and susceptibility to political messaging.

“women are biologically more emotive than men. It’s a natural thing that may make them more susceptible to the strategy of the toothpaste company,” he said.

He further argued that the same emotional appeals can create tension for people of faith.

“That strategy also poses legitimate conflicts for people of faith as well. Faith isn’t based on pure pure rationality, but it is more of an emotional construct because of the supernatural components to the belief system, Christians in particular, can be conflicted about the left’s messaging for this very reason, even though Marxist or leftist ideologies run almost totally counter to Christian teaching,” Basile said.
