“The very fact that the left seems to have no alternative to their failed policies—other than the notion that, since people were not persuaded by their arguments, those arguments must be repeated in a louder voice—suggests a cognitive dissonance that defies logic”
— Thomas Sowell
Simplified Meaning:
It means when the left's plans don't work and they don't have new ideas, they just repeat the same things more loudly instead of thinking differently. This doesn't make sense and shows a refusal to accept that their original plans were flawed.
