Um, yes. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

I think you are on the right track, and it fits with what the “study” underlying the article actually proposes.

Doubtless there are a narcissistic and mentally ill radical elements out there, on the Left and Right. But the vast majority of lefties are shallow morons pursuing what they believe is their self-interest, under the influence of political manipulators and social pressure. People with low intelligence, low self esteem, and low emotional self-control are likely to be simultaneously unsuccessful, eager for someone to blame, open to promises of something for nothing, dependent on others to run their lives, and easy to con.

The Democrat Party has always favored coercion to freedom (slavery, Jim Crow, New Deal), and has evolved its program, messaging, tactics, and even the voting system, to use morons to stay in power.

Yes, good point. Their beliefs are faith-based, ergo no talking them out of them.

Well, we have an army of them and they cannot be reasoned with. I think the road is going to get bumpy.

Long past time to reopen the closed down mental hospitals and return to the 1950s standards for incarceration.

Almost every mass killer since that time has shown to have serious mental problems, along with the left liberal loons who should have been in mental asylums.
But if we do open the mental wards back up we will have to incarcerate many in the Biden admin.

Humans don't like to accept responsibility for themselves--like admitting their errors. It takes a person who values maturity and wisdom to do that.

Right.

St. John of the Cross said that it’s easier for a man to go into battle than to grow spiritually because spiritual growth requires the person to see himself as he truly is.

I knew a man who, instead of admitting his own faults and flaws, began to lie about his mistakes and wrongdoings, thinking that his lies made him look better than he was.

He was never wrong and he could prove that the fault in any situation belonged to Somebody Else by being so much louder and aggressively angry than any person who dared suggest an imperfection in his actions or his character that, finally, nobody challenged him and even his most tolerant and oldest friends stayed away.

As his life went by he found himself more and more isolated within his false and fragile house which he had built almost entirely with lies.

He ended up dying in his late eighties, alcoholic and diagnosed psychotic.

Ironically, by that time his lies were known as lies and his own actions had destroyed the good reputation he tried so hard to fabricate.

Look at my comment. Did I say liberalism is NOT a disorder?

They can’t see it. Does anyone believe a crazy man will admit or even realize he is crazy?

Fueled by derangement

Documented by the last 3.5 years and getting worse.

Men love darkness rather than light.
____________________________________
You have hit the nail on the head, except I would not put all men in the darkness category unless you mean that all are sinners. However, those who possess the Holy Spirit know their sins, repent, and seek forgiveness from their Savior. I think of the world as one huge sparing arena where Biblical-level good and evil play out each day. The Left sides with Satan and together they are a destructive and constant anti-human force. We find ourselves in the arena, whether we want to be here or not, daily having to push back against the evil forces that never relent. Sadly, man can not vanquish Satan or his minions on his own, but as gladiators in the arena of life, we are tasked to fight for righteousness until the return of our Lord.

They won - didn't they? It worked.

Why would they ever need to admit anything?

As I read this article, and several of the comments below, it suddenly came to me that LIEberal behavior mimicks the behavior of adult children of alcoholic parents.

My first wife was an adult child of an alcoholic mother. She exhibited most of these characteristics – her inabilities to cope with reality and her alcoholic mother’s instability were, finally, showstoppers! She is an ex-wife!

Dr. Janet Woititz described the syndrome of the Adult Child of Alcoholic, or ACOA, in 1983.

Look at this list, and see if your LIEberal FRiends exhibit any of these characteristics.

The 13 Characteristics of Adult Children of Alcoholics/Addicts:

1. Adult children of alcoholics guess at what normal behavior is.

2. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty following a project through from beginning to end.

3. Adult children of alcoholics lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth.

4. Adult children of alcoholics judge themselves without mercy.

5. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty having fun.

6. Adult children of alcoholics take themselves very seriously.

7. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty with intimate relationships.

8. Adult children of alcoholics overreact to changes over which they have no control.

9. Adult children of alcoholics constantly seek approval and affirmation.

10. Adult children of alcoholics usually feel that they are different from other people.

11. Adult children of alcoholics are super responsible or super irresponsible.

12. Adult children of alcoholics are extremely loyal, even in the face of evidence that the loyalty is undeserved.

13. Adult children of alcoholics are impulsive.

I’ll add one personal observation: LIEberals have no understanding of reason, logic and common sense. If they did, they would not be LIEberals!
