They scream "racist" whenever they have no logical or rational argument for their actions or beliefs. That's enough to shutdown debate, investigation and any discussion. It's not a chemical addiction but an escape strategy.

This is why (in the UK at least), Pakistani paedo grooming gangs of white kids got away with their revolting behaviour for so long. It was perceived as racist to stop it.
Amazing, but true.

MRI brain scans proved that politically biased people, when they self decieve themselves regarding the politicians on Their Team, their brain releases dopamine (pleasure / reward activity). Getting 'high' on self-deception established, actual addiction to it not beyond imagining here.
It's not beyond imagining that when they engage in all that kind of action their dopamine lights their neural circuits up like a Christmas tree, therefore that the also become addicted to it also isn't beyond reason. And in practice, their obsession with such activity, this does seem to be the case all too often.
