Answer 1

Relax.

That article was using the language of psychology to trash talk Democrats and compare them with Holocaust deniers, the KKK, etc.

The "Defense Mechanisms" that the article about are perfectly normal.  They were Freud's attempt to describe how the normal mind keeps itself from freaking out every time something unusual happens.

The idea is that by becoming aware of when we do these things, we don't do them automatically, and are able to control them somewhat.

You experience Defense Mechanisms?  Congratulations, you're a normal human being.
