Radical liberals do not think like mentally healthy persons, because they are not. Radical liberals suffer from serious psychological illnesses (aka mental illnesses), which are identified in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Experienced mental health professionals describe these personality disorders in books, professional journals, and in Youtube videos.
Of course, I’m not talking about non-radical average democrats who are good people, and who are not on board with the irrational and deranged agendas of radical democrats. As a percentage of the democrat population, the radical democrats are surely a very small percentage, but they are in control of the direction of the party and it’s policies. But that means the largest percentage of democrats are not radical, and it also tells us that the vast majority of these democrats are deceived by their own leaders.
I don’t know any non-radical democrats who are in favor of the entire radical democrat agenda, which includes all of the following:
Abortion (even after delivery which is actually murder), voting in American elections with no accountability or proof of citizenship, voting by illegal aliens, voting multiple times by the living, voting by the dead, tampering with voting machines to control the outcome, the entire LGBTQ+P agenda, the full panoply of lesbian and homosexual rights, transgenderism, support for the idea that there are 100 genders, shredding of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, re-writing of American history on major subjects like slavery and the KKK, elimination of God-given and constitutional rights to privacy and the right to due process as well as the judicial construct that one is innocent until proven guilty, unlimited government power, secret black budgets controlled by a select few in government not including the congress or senate or the President, the dehumanization of people and the elevation of animals and microscopic species equal to or above humans, worship of the environment, approval of CIA involvement in MK Ultra and human experiments and drug trafficking and human trafficking, support for the vast pedophilia network in the U.S. and Internationally, total confiscation of all guns and ammunition owned by citizens, multi-billion dollar fraud with non-profits to promote political agendas, using U.S. intelligence agencies against conservatives and against citizens, spying on the same, hiring intelligence contractors to create fictitious crimes to illegally attack political opponents, using entire demographics and lying to them intentionally for decades to get their vote, and the list goes on and on.
My point is that these are all supported by radical liberal democrats, and they endorse every single one of these radical agenda items, but your average American democrat who is not in a DNC leadership role, does not support most of these, and many do not support a single one of these radical ideas. This is why I often say, and I’ll say it again here:
Good citizens who are hard working and love America who were raised democrats and still are democrats as adults have been abandoned by the democrat party, and their party has been hijacked by radicals. Such good citizens need to realize they are being lied to and deceived, and if they want to live consistent with their deepest beliefs and their faith, they ought to leave today’s democrat party as quickly as they can.
Haven’t you wondered how some of these crazy radicals could lie so much with a straight face, and not only with a straight face, but with apparent total sincerity? Many of them have no compunction at all looking right into the camera and telling bold faced lies that we all know are lies. These people tell lie after lie, and their constituents seem to care not. But the lying is the tip of the iceberg. The depravity behind the lying is almost beyond anything we could imagine.
This book is about America and specifically the fall of America’s greatness (and the consequences for you and me), so I want to take a look at the leaders of America—our politicians. They have been leading our country on a fast track to hell, and the question is how did that happen, and why?
I understand that a book that lies to you with a positive message about how Americans will overcome these radicals and become great again for decades to come would be much more popular than a book that tells you the cold hard truth. But if I’m right, then don’t you want to know?
How many times have you or a friend said recently, “Have these people in Washington D.C. gone crazy?,” or words to that effect? To a normal and rational human being, sometimes it does seem like the world has gone crazy, or that our leaders in America have gone crazy. Let me help you out there. Many of our radical democrats have, in fact, gone crazy, and I’m about to explain why that is true on a clinical level.
I can tell you that having watched politics very closely for 51 years (I’m 65 now and have been watching since I was 14), I have never seen the insanity I am seeing today, and I’m not the only one. You’ll hear this from rational conservatives and Christians all over the country. We know something is terribly wrong, and it’s never been this insane and this irrational.
I find it more than fascinating that almost no one in the media wants to touch this subject with a ten foot pole. It is a politically incorrect, and unless you are willing to walk around with a target on your chest, it is best left alone. But I believe it is important to understand the times in which we live, and we need to try to understand these irrational people and why they behave the way they do, even to the detriment of their own future.
How We Can Know Liberal Dems Are Genuinely Crazy?
I’ve learned that mental health issues and spiritual issues are at the core of the problems in America, and I want to give you some information that will help put much of what is happening in its proper context. Believe me, when you understand how psychologists describe the profile of radical liberals today, you’ll be surprised, especially because it does become obvious once you know this.
The tragedy for America and you and me, and our children and grandchildren, is that very sick people have gotten control of the reins of leadership in this country. They suffer from a variety of mental illnesses, but primary from personality disorders that clinical psychologists who specialize in personality disorders classify as narcissistic, sociopathic, or psychopathic.
Let’s look closely at these personality disorders, and keep radical liberals you know in mind. Do the radical liberals of the democrat party you are thinking of fit one of these profiles? While psychologists like to classify personality disorders into tidy categories, I would observe that there is a lot of overlap between them, and people don’t always fit into one to the exclusion of the others.
Antisocial Personality Disorder
The Antisocial Personality Disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of other people that often manifests as hostility and/or aggression. Deceit and manipulation are also central features. In many cases hostile-aggressive and deceitful behaviors may first appear during childhood. These children may hurt or torment animals or people. They may engage in hostile acts such as bullying or intimidating others. They may have a reckless disregard for property such as setting fires. They often engage in deceit, theft, and other serious violations of standard rules of conduct. When this is the case, Conduct Disorder (a juvenile form of Antisocial Personality Disorder) may be an appropriate diagnosis. Conduct Disorder is often considered the precursor to an Antisocial Personality Disorder.
I’ve heard a psychologist say that the psychopath and sociopath are not defined separately in the DSM, but are considered subcategories of the antisocial personality disorder.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder have significant problems with their sense of self-worth stemming from a powerful sense of entitlement. This leads them to believe they deserve special treatment, and to assume they have special powers, are uniquely talented, or that they are especially brilliant or attractive. Their sense of entitlement can lead them to act in ways that fundamentally disregard and disrespect the worth of those around them. [Source: Personality Disorders]
There are several outstanding videos by professionals describing the several the types of narcissists, and these videos are so good, I highly recommend you watch them. Dr. Ramani specializes in this disorder of narcissism, and she has produced many helpful videos on Youtube. She does not specifically discuss politicians as I do here, but you listen to her descriptions of narcissists, and you’ll say these descriptions fit the leaders of the democrat party to a T. You cannot deny that after watching her videos.
Definitive statistics are unavailable as to how many Americans suffer from narcissism, but estimates range from 6% to 10% to 30%. No one has accurate data, so everyone is guessing, but I would tend to see the personality disorders at the higher end of the estimates.
Psychologists tell us that narcissists will never go to a psychologist or any counselor. They also tell us that even if one did go, he or she would feign victimhood so well that your average psychologists would not diagnose him or her as narcissistic. So we simply don’t have good stats on the percentage of the population that suffers from narcissism.
Just listen to our national politicians, and you tell me that nearly all of them are not narcissistic! What have we done in this country? How did we elect such dysfunctional leaders? What a tragedy for our nation.
Personality Inventory for Psychopathy
The Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI-Revised) is a personality test for traits associated with psychopathy in adults. The PPI was developed by Scott Lilienfeld and Brian Andrews to assess these traits in non-criminal (e.g. university students) populations, though it is still used in clinical (e.g. incarcerated) populations as well.[1][2]
The analysis of the initial 160 items in the psychological study revealed 8 factors:[3]
- Machiavellian Egocentricity (ME): A lack of empathy and sense of detachment from others for the sake of achieving one’s own goals[4]
- Social Potency (SOP): The ability to charm and influence others
- Coldheartedness (C): A distinct lack of emotion, guilt, or regard for others’ feelings
- Carefree Nonplanfulness (CN): Difficulty in planning ahead and considering the consequences of one’s actions
- Fearlessness (F): An eagerness for risk-seeking behaviors, as well as a lack of the fear that normally goes with them
- Blame Externalization (BE): Inability to take responsibility for one’s actions, instead blaming others or rationalizing one’s behavior
- Impulsive Nonconformity (IN): A disregard for social norms and culturally acceptable behaviors
- Stress Immunity (STI): A lack of typical marked reactions to traumatic or otherwise stress-inducing events[5]
Do you see how these are clearly connected with the behavior patterns of radical liberals today? Everyone is afraid to talk about this, but I am not.
Professor Robert Hare is a criminal psychologist, and the creator of the PCL-R, a psychological assessment used to determine whether someone is a psychopath. For decades, he has studied people with psychopathy, and worked with them, in prisons and in society. [Source: How to Spot a Psychopath]
These people lack remorse and empathy and feel emotion only shallowly. In extreme cases, they might not care whether you live or die. These people are called psychopaths. Some of them are violent criminals, murderers. But by no means all.
I will add, many have gone on to become politicians. You can probably name several off the top of your head right now.
Dr. Hare developed what is now the master list of personality traits of the psychopath:
- glib and superficial charm
- grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self
- need for stimulation
- pathological lying
- cunning and manipulativeness
- lack of remorse or guilt
- shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness)
- callousness and lack of empathy
- parasitic lifestyle
- poor behavioral controls
- sexual promiscuity
- early behavior problems
- lack of realistic long-term goals
- impulsivity
- irresponsibility
- failure to accept responsibility for own actions
- many short-term marital relationships
- juvenile delinquency
- revocation of conditional release
- criminal versatility
Go back and put in the name(s) of politician(s) whom you think are deranged, or any radical liberal democrats you know on the list of politicians with serious personality disorders. Doesn’t all this begin to answer some big questions you’ve had for years?
Who would ever have imagined that politics would attract so many narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths? I would venture to say no one, and certainly not me.
Trump—The Catalyst That Triggered Deranged Liberals
It would seem that President Trump was some kind of catalyst that broke all the barriers of sanity for the uber radical liberals in America. In plain language, they have gone from ridiculous, irrational, and sick before Trump was elected to off-the-rails insane and deranged and out-in-the-open demonic after Trump’s election. It’s really been a shocking transformation to those of us observing all this.
America made a radical turn during Trump’s first term, and it is the most radical and obvious turn toward evil we have ever seen. They are no longer holding back. They are desperate and have pulled all the plugs to destroy Trump and America.
The most wanted terrorist in the world was a man named Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. We had him but let him go. He was caught and imprisoned by the U.S. military, and released by George W. Bush in 2004. Subsequently, Al-Baghdadi went back to his terrorist roots and became the world leader of a new group of terrorists called ISIS. When you follow the chain of evidence and testimonies of top military leaders, you learn that ISIS was created under the Bush and Obama administrations and Hillary Clinton played a key role as Secretary of State in securing the creation and propagation of ISIS.
The evidence has been well documented that he plundered, raped, and killed. He kept many sex slaves and tortured, serially raped, and murdered Kayla Mueller. This man was unquestionably one of the most evil people on the face of the earth.
Al-Baghdadi was recently in the headlines again. He was killed by U.S. special forces in Syria. Actually, he killed himself and his children with a bomb when our forces found him. What a reprehensible human being! Righteous people do not necessarily rejoice at anyone’s death, but they are glad the world is rid of such an evil man. His history is summarized in Wikipedia:
Baghdadi was directly involved in atrocities and human rights violations conducted by ISIL. These include genocide of Yazidis in Iraq, extensive sex slavery, organized rape, floggings, and systematic executions. He directed terrorist activities and massacres. He embraced brutality as part of the organization’s propaganda efforts, producing videos displaying mass crucifixions, sex slavery and executions via hacking, stoning, and burning.[14][15]
I’m sorry to have to share such graphic history here, but you’re about to learn why I had to explain how evil Al-Baghdadi was. What I just described to you about him is all true and is documented history. Factually there is no doubt about Al-Baghdadi’s evil past. But how do liberals describe him after his death?
“Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at the helm of the Islamic state, dies at 48” Joby Warrick, The Washington Post, October 27, 2019.
This wasn’t the only liberal defense of Al-Baghdadi. There were others, including a journalist who goes by the name of Max Boot who had to retract a sentence in an article he wrote that shows the deranged thinking of liberals. He wrote, “The assertion that Baghdadi died as a coward [as President Trump had said] was, in any case, contradicted by the fact that rather than be captured, he blew himself up.”
The liberals in the media make a hero out of an insane and evil man, and at a minimum they defend this terrorist. What does that tell you about liberalism? Such thinking comes from a deranged mind, and deranged is the perfect word here.
If you are a democrat, and you still call yourself a liberal, I strongly urge you to run from the label liberal, because you are associating yourself with radical liberals who are deranged.
The phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was coined by someone, and it is quite apropos. Liberals were planning Trump’s impeachment before he was sworn in as president, and they have not stopped. They broke all kinds of laws creating the Russian Collusion, and after $32 million, about 500 depositions, and over two years of a grossly biased and determined independent prosecutor who had no legal authority to even be appointed and commence an investigation because there was no evidence of a crime, which is required, and with a staff of 19 democrat attorneys supported by 40 FBI agents, along with intelligence analysts, forensic accountants and other staff, all determined to impeach President Trump even though they had no evidence. They ultimately had to admit they had not a single shred of evidence of any Russian collusion with Trump. The actual collusion it turns out was by the democrats and their operatives who illegally surveilled President Trump.
Don’t forget, Trump and his administration cooperated fully with the Mueller investigation, giving them tons of documents. Even with all that cooperation, Mueller found nothing, despite the liberal media’s two year rampage against Trump pretty much every day of the week.
Intelligent conservatives who know true history and economics and politics have learned to put up with uninformed arguments by sincere democrats (and republicans), but the crisis for America today is not coming from uninformed sincere democrats. The real crisis in America is the vicious attack by deranged radical liberals who are not just uninformed, they are astonishingly arrogant, and they are blatantly evil and proud of how they conduct themselves.
This is why sincere and honest democrats need to completely separate themselves from the radical liberals of today. The radical liberals of today in America are evil, and that evil is seen clearly in their agendas and in the way they vote. What is their agenda?
They have no conscience whatsoever when it comes to the murder of 50 million babies since Roe v. Wade in 1973. They have no qualms about illegal aliens voting, because those votes go to democrats. They apparently lose no sleep over criminal illegals murdering good Americans despite being sent back across the border many times. Today’s radical liberal hates America’s economic system called free enterprise, and they love socialism, despite its evil beginning and it’s repeated disastrous failures throughout history. Radical liberals don’t believe in the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights. They believe government is the answer to all our problems, and they believe that personal rights must be subservient to the state.
Radical liberals practice divide and conquer, promote chaos and hate, and are themselves racist.
The DSM tells us a lot about liberals, actually more than we want to know.
The material thus covers two key aspects that help define the psychopath: selfish and unfeeling victimization of other people, and an unstable and antisocial lifestyle.
People who are psychopathic prey ruthlessly on others using charm, deceit, violence or other methods that allow them to get with they want. The symptoms of psychopathy include: lack of a conscience or sense of guilt, lack of empathy, egocentricity, pathological lying, repeated violations of social norms, disregard for the law, shallow emotions, and a history of victimizing others.
I want to walk through this process of considering how liberals are often psychopaths, and I want to do this very carefully and accurately. So I want to describe the behavior of a few very public radical liberals. Let’s consider the personalities and behavior of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Barak Obama, James Comey, John Brennan, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), Chuck Shumer, Harry Reid (retired Senator), Al Gore, Gavin Newsom, George Soros, Jeffrey Adam Zucker, and Mark Zuckerberg.
What do all of these people have in common? I’m going to describe a personality profile which fits all of these radicals.
Arrogant, unforgiving, demanding, self-righteous, grandiose visions of self, grandiose notions of what they can accomplish with little connection to reality, no remorse, never entertain thoughts of their own wrongdoing even when they do something blatantly wrong, will lie without hesitation, manipulative, a severe control freak, will use people for their own agendas without any concern whatsoever for the harm they cause their victims, believes they know better than anyone how things should work, sincerely feels they can make better decisions for the rest of us than we can for ourselves, believes they are special—more special than anyone else, have no boundaries or limits for themselves either legally or morally but are quick to set boundaries for everyone else, are hypocrites of the highest order, feign insult when they are caught doing wrong and will viciously attack anyone who catches them or accuses them, and they do not perceive that they have political opponents—they have enemies who must be destroyed if they stand in their way.
Does not this profile sound exactly like our national political leaders on the radical side? Of course it does! Seriously, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, and the others in this sick psychological profile.
Psychologists estimate that between 6% and 10% of the American population suffers from narcissism, and then there are the sociopaths and psychopaths. Another estimate I think is more accurate is that as many as 30% of our population suffers from narcissism.
The challenge is that the mental health industry has no data on how many suffer from these terrible personality disorders. Psychologists admit that those with narcissism refuse to see counselors. Period. If you’ve ever been married to a narcissist, you know they never do anything wrong, and anything and everything that has gone wrong is always your fault, not theirs. They never ever need to see a counselor or psychologist, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with them and never has been.
You and others like you are the problem. Welcome to the culture of Washington D.C. the narcissism capital of America.
Allow me to put this in perspective for you. The leaders of our great nation in Washington D.C. certainly have a much higher incidence of narcissism, sociopathy, and psychopathy than the general population. Don’t even doubt me on this. If you were to go to D.C. to do research on this topic, you would do better to try to find politicians who were normal, because you have to start with the proposition that nearly everyone there suffers from a serious (not mild) personality disorder. Think I’m exaggerating?
One of the preeminent works on narcissism is a book entitled Narcissism and Politics by Dr. Jerrold M. Post, a Psychologist and Professor at Cambridge University. He felt this sentence was so important, he included it in the first sentence of his Preface:
If one were to strip from the ranks of political figures all those with significant narcissistic personality traits, those ranks would be perilously impoverished.
I estimate that as much as 70% of the democratic leadership at the Federal level in the congress and in the senate suffer from narcissism, sociopathy, or psychopathy. Again, it’s easier to name those who suffer from personality disorders than to name those who are not.
Narcissism has become so prevalent in America that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) considered eliminating the narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), because some argued it is the new normal.
This book emphasizes radical liberals or progressive democrats, but are there sick politicians on the Republican side or on the Independent side, too? Of course there are, but the percentage is not nearly as high, and you don’t even have to look very deep to find the evidence for that. The absolutely insane behavior is in the real news every single day and is coming from the democrat side by a margin of 10 to 1.
I am assuming you have a connection with real news and not fake news, because if you are what has been called a “low information” voter and all you watch is CNN, MSNBC, and ABC, and you actually believe their constant stream of propaganda and lies, you won’t get past this chapter.
I suspect that you know exactly what I’m talking about, and that you can see the logic of what I’m saying. Don’t take my word for the descriptions of these personality disorders how damaging they are to victims—just watch the hundreds of Youtube videos by professionals who describe all of this.
When I suggest that 70% of the radical democrats in Washington are suffering from serious personality disorders, I’m speculating on the percentage, but I’m not speculating on the profiles or the affect that these people have on their victims. All that has been long established in the mental health industry. I’m just putting this in the context of our current political crisis, which psychologists are reticent to do, since the DNC is not their client or their study target. Also, and if I may be a little sarcastic, half of all psychologists in this country are probably democrats who themselves are crazy.
Why do we need to study this subject and seek to understand such human behaviors? Because we need to stop saying naive things like, “I don’t understand how they can do what they do and go on as if nothing is wrong?”
And we need to stop being their victims!
