About
The neocon reality inversion was a particular form of authoritarian reality inversion (ARI) which was popular during the Bush-Cheney administration.
Specifics
The neocon reality inversion added these particulars to the more general ARI practices:
- The Democrats have abused their power
- George W. Bush has been maligned by people who hate him for no good reason (or because of their own power-based agendas)
- Standing up to Bush or other neoconservatives "hurts" the democrats (i.e. makes them less electable).
- Scientists fear intelligent design because it threatens their worldview, while creationists are ever-curious seekers of truth. [1]
- People who vote out of blind obedience to their group affiliation (political or religious) are "values voters", while people who choose leaders based on a comparison of each candidate's moral and ethical values (and the integrity of their adherence to those values) are apparently non-values voters.
