It’s just rejection of truth in all forms.

[It seems to be a basis for hate.]

All one has to do is see a bunch of Democrats at Yahoo to prove that you are 100% correct.

They are like rabid animals - just full of nothing but hate and crazed behavior.

Liberalism does not cause mental illness, it’s a synonym for mental illness.

“I like your analysis. Being held accountable for your actions is rare in this age.”

And that is the real problem with the country, and the world, when it comes to trust and following up on commitments. People can’t be trusted just to make a legitimate effort to do anything because of the internal lack of responsibility and especially their lack of being punished for the same when it harms someone.

Responsibility and accomplishment builds trust and respect. This is why I don’t do either with liberals, they don’t earn it and don’t care if they get it. Otherwise they wouldn’t say and do the things they do.

So does demonic possession. How does one discern which is which, when the agendas overlap so very completely?

“CAUSE....?!”

K-12-college indoctrination.
Democrat oropaganda.
MSM propaganda.
Web propaganda.

Progressivism (liberalism, leftism) is effectively a religious cult, of The Rainbow Church of Humanism and Cultural Marxism.

The have doctrine, high priests and priestesses, worship services, a commission, sacraments and rituals.

They are evangelist zealots, and their words shall NOT be doubted. Doubters will be harshly persecuted.

Good list. Thank you for it.

But what about: The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness by Lyle H. Rossiter?
