Mental illness often prevents the afflicted from recognizing reality and adjusting their behavior accordingly.
With that in mind, the wokeness that infects so many leftists’ brains surely qualifies as a disease. After all, not even when they morph into literal satire do they stop and reflect on their absurd views.
For instance, in a remarkable pair of posts on the social media platform X, leftist actor and comedian Walter Masterson doubled down on his pro-open borders rhetoric even after a literalIslamic terroristtossed a bomb over Masterson’s shoulder and into a crowd at an anti-Islam protest Saturday.
The incident took place near Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s residence in New York City.
“We were born and raised in New York,” a megaphone-wielding Masterson said in a clip posted to X, “and we want everyone here to stay in New York. You don’t get to come from outside and then tell everyone else — .”
At that moment, a woman’s scream interrupted the comedian’s woke diatribe.
As Masterson looked around, a young man ran up behind him and threw what looked like a bomb into the crowd. The comedian stood dumbfounded with a stupid look on his face as the perpetrator turned and ran in the opposite direction.
I was in the middle of saying “as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone into this city” when he threw that over my head.pic.twitter.com/i5iD3MVf7h

Incredibly, the camera had caught the precise moment at which a youth identified as Emir Balat, according to the formalcriminal complaint, allegedly tossed an improvised explosive device into the crowd of protesters. The complaint further identified Balat and co-defendant Ibrahim Kayumi as Islamic State (ISIS) sympathizers and actors.
