Can a Political Party Have a Personality Disorder?
American Refugees Substack ^ | 5 Mar 2025 | Roger Simon

Posted on 03/05/2025 9:50:14 PM PST by Rummyfan

Who are those people, I wondered Tuesday night, as I watched the Democrats sit on their hands when brain cancer victim 13-year-old Devarjaye “D.J.” Daniel was recognized as an honorary Secret Service agent?

But that was only one moment in a litany of similar nauseating reactions, or lack thereof, during President Trump’s first address to Congress for his second term.

And that’s not counting Al Green’s sad acting out that resulted in his ejection. Mr. Green needs help but is unlikely to get it.

I had to shake myself to remember I was once a Democrat in what seems like the Paleolithic Age but was actually a tad less than twenty-five years ago., scarcely a minute in human time.

Nevertheless, the party I left, even though it was trending in the wrong direction, didn’t seem much like what I was watching now. What had happened? Why did they all behave like sullen children without an ounce of optimism for the future?

The simple explanation was “Trump bad.” But it was almost too obvious and only part of the story. Something more is involved even if “he doth bestride the narrow world like a colossus.”.

I’m not sure this is true but I heard after Trump’s speech, all the RATS got together and had a “spanking” party with their bingo paddles.

Leftism is just narcissism scaled across a culture.

A rather wordy analysis of what everyone who hasn’t been in a coma knows... the democrats are evil and deranged. A coalition of losers and rejects, standing by a pathological political ideology, who act like petulant children when cornered.

No, but it can be designed (or become, by default) a group for disturbed or insane people and cater to their worse defects.

Ok, ok, people are not seeing the obvious. The Democrats took a HUGE drubbing during the 2024 elections. They didn't just lose, their clock was thoroughly and royally cleaned. They reacted just like the New York Mets fans did during the years before The Miracle of 1986.

Now, a true sportsman would take an embarrassing loss in stride. The Democrats are not true sportsmen. "Fair" isn't in their vocabulary. They honor the Golden Rule in the breech. They are poor losers.

There may be a good reason for the sour attitude. Have you seen the discussions about who in the Democratic Party could come back and "win one for the team" in 2028? The back bench is weak, and the front bench is way too old and weathered.

It's true, though, you should never say never. There could be an Obama in the rough still to be unearthed, groomed, and presented for coronation.

Those weren’t bingo paddles. They dug them out of their antebellum closets. Last time they were used was at the slave auctions.

They’re not confused, they are Marxists pretending to be liberals.

Mind virus seems to mimic the Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis "Zombie Ant" fungus infection. Characterized by alteration of the behavioral patterns of the infected ant. Infected hosts leave their canopy nests and foraging trails for the forest floor, an area with a temperature and humidity suitable for fungal growth; they then use their mandibles to attach themselves to a major vein on the underside of a leaf, where the host remains after its eventual death.

The democrats being possessed by this particular mind virus have latched onto the totalitarian utopian ideology with their mandibles. They will not let go as the pathology ultimately flowers to try and spread itself. It is truly a creepy societal formation mass psychosis.

Pod People...
Yuck.

That would seem to imply the party in question had a personality in the first place.

Democrats are exhibiting their vast array of disorders because they do not know what to fight against and for what? They have not been given money and specific instructions, frankly. The big left money donors have not decided yet.

About the only thing you can count on is that donorville won’t be using Nancy or Chuck as the prime delivery drivers anymore.

The Dems are manifesting Covid Brain

” Overall, 250 representatives and senators either were diagnosed with COVID-19, self-quarantined after exposure to COVID-19, or reported exposure but took other action or no action — some multiple times.”

Rep Dan Newhouse, R-Wash, introduced a “censure resolution” against Texas Democrat Al Green amid widespread GOP anger at Democrats who protested President Trump’s rousing patriotic address to Congress on Tuesday.

Democrats stupidly pushed for a vote to table the resolution, which would have effectively killed it.
But it failed to pass, and a vote on the measure itself is expected sometime this week.


Trump walked into the House chamber triumphant with skyhigh job approval rating
<><>he faced down Democrats favored by just 21% percent of the public,
<><>Dems will sink even lower after their unhinged performance,
<><>Dems looked downright anti-America
<><>as Trump’s patriotic speech resonated
<><>Trump reminded the country why they put him in office.
