He has always lived in a world of delusion. Could he survive in the real world? What would happen if delusion disappeared and reality bit?

Delusion: something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated; a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary. (Merriam Webster)

  In my opinion, that is an apt description of today's liberals and Democratic party. And they don't seem to be surviving well because reality is biting them. :)
