Is There No Cure For Democrats’ Derangement?
Issues & Insights ^ | 15 Jul, 2025 | I & I Editorial Board

We’ve noted before that today’s Democrats are operating with a mental deficit. A new poll further confirms they are a broken people. While it’s good for a cheap laugh, because they are often smug, condescending and hateful to those who disagree with them, their fragile psychological state poses a threat to the republic.

A Rasmussen poll released Monday found that 60% of Democratic voters still believe “the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election.” As disturbing as that is, 69% of those who self-identify as “liberals” believe Donald Trump conspired with Moscow to beat Hillary Clinton.

The poll indicates that Trump Derangement Syndrome is not limited to the Democratic side: 45% of moderates also believe in the Russia hoax, while 27% of conservatives hold the same view. (Are there really that many Never Trumpers on the right?)

For the record, the Trump-Russia partnership was a fabrication set loose by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and a number of Democratic Party minions. More than two years ago, special counsel John Durham released a report, compiled over three years, that, according to CNN, “concluded that the FBI should never have launched a full investigation into connections between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.”

The FBI probe, said Durham, was based on “raw, unanalyzed and uncorroborated intelligence” and corrupted by “confirmation bias.”

In other words, there was nothing to investigate, because the entire rancid stew was concocted to drive Trump from the presidency. “President Obama” and then-CIA Director John Brennan “knew before the FBI opened up on that information that this was a dirty trick by Hillary Clinton,” says John Solomon, chief executive and editor in chief of Just the News.

Much of the blame for the Democrats’ belief in the myth goes to the press, which put its full faith in the fraudulent story and convinced tens of millions of readers, viewers and listeners that Trump was, if not a Russian agent, a collaborator with Moscow in a plan to ensure his election. Two legacy outlets, the New York Times and Washington Post even shared a Pulitzer Prize for covering a lie as if it were the truth. They won’t return the prize and the craven Pulitzer board won’t rescind it.

Of course the Democrats chose then as they choose now to believe a big lie. It’s consistent with their dark personality qualities, their “high narcissistic and psychopathic traits,” their penchant for always looking for “opportunities for positive self-presentation and displays of moral superiority, to gain social status, to dominate others, and to engage in social conflicts and aggression to satisfy their need for thrill seeking.”

Democrats even admit they need help – 45% of those who say they’re liberals believe they have poor mental health. Only only one in five say their mental health is excellent and just one in four say it is very good.

Conservatives, on the other hand, are more stable. Nine in 10 self-report their mental health to be excellent (51%) or very good (39%).

Our republic can never function in a healthy manner when half of the two-party system is institutionally unbalanced. Rather than throw tantrums, actively divide the nation and live well beyond the fringe, Democrat leaders need to focus on restoring the mental health of their candidates, officials and voters. It’s their obligation to the country.

The left. What should we do about them?

Keep on Winning!

Successful winning is the best answer to an enemy that is implacable. And the Left is Implacable.

For the Left, they are in an indefensible position. They are, clearly, against the Law regarding violent illegals. They do this because this is their constituency; having given up Caucasian ones long ago.

Right now the majority of Hispanic Citizens are not with the Left and moving to the right. And the illegals are self-deporting in great masses across the border ports.

No, the Left is self-destructing. I'd say to let them do it, and any that break the Law should reap the consequences of doing so.

The Left among the Press (the majority of the Lamestream) are suffering the consequences of lying to the American people over a very long period of time.

The consequences of that are that more and more do not watch an increasingly unreliable television news, but are on alternative source.

They try to stay relevant by their Smear Gotcha Questions of which the expiration dates has been also been clearly exceeded.

That’s a very important point. There is a cure for Democrat derangement. If the leftist media would just quiet with the lies and begin to act responsibly*, our wayward fellow citizens might also begin to act responsibly.

As it is now, Democrats are being told over and over again that 1+1=5. So it’s not unexpected that they believe 1+1 really does equal 5.

* How to do actually do that is a bit above my pay grade.

But they cannot, having swallowed the Blue Pill of "the ends justify the means". Their meme continues unabated and even grows as Trump paints them, as they so deserve, into a well-lit corner.

On the other hand, the dem voters see no one has been charged with felonies, treasons, or otherwise detained for republican allegations. No prison sentences, no removal from office, no huge fines or losses.

On the other hand again, republicans are charged, jailed, lives destroyed for frequently made-up wrongs involving democrats. So what do we expect the dem voters who get their info from media to believe?

We desperately need a good honest AG and justice department for Americans who will divide the truth and prosecute crimes in either party. It is sad we have not had that in some years.

An appropriate amount of trigger pressure.

The deeper the left/Democrats drift into madness, the more outrageous and dangerous they become, and the more obvious it becomes to everyone else that they are insane.

It is a mass psychosis on a national and even international scale.

It is as catastrophic as the horrifying plagues, notably the black plague, of past ages, and it threatens to be even more devastating.

Little Debbie Washbucket went to Alligator Alcatraz and came out wearing a Tower of London T-shirt. Brave illegal alien pedophiles who walked all the way from Antarctica to the Rio Grande in there begging, crying, sobbing, and wetting and craping their pants like she was the Queen of America. Their Macho Man attitudes shot to hell. Morons and Sissies. Geez. What has happened to America? Newscum says that we need subhuman slave labor because white American men are too superior to the illegal alien low lifes and should not engage it physical labor. Isn’t that white supremacist? We need slave labor to do our heavy lifting. Why are the rioters backing the illegal alien invaders. Think of it like this. Americans are the Ukrainians. The illegal alien invaders are the Russkis. Starting to see a pattern yet?

Libs follow Mainstream Media like a Zombie feeds on brains.

Plus, the lack of any convictions seems to justify that position.

If there were actual consequences to tyranny and honest media exposure, most would be able to understand what’s been going on.

But still, there are many who would not even believe that. - 5-6%

Sadly, it’s not limited to just Democrats, so is there any cure for anyone suffering from the derangement? I think not.
