They certainly seem crazy to me. In many ways beyond projection and displacement.

[joshua c]

they seem a bit controlling

you know

like tyrannical

[Jonty30]

Wages of sin.

[PGalt]

No cure.

Well Duh, Ive know progressives were mental since the 5th grade when I became self aware.

[Steven Tyler]

Progressives create a pseudo reality so that you do not have a grounding in reality

[hinckley buzzard]

The underlying conflict generating liberal pathology is always the same: how to reconcile one’s inner hatefulness with the need to see oneself as highly virtuous.

[equaviator]

Yeah, sure. "Sure" as any inexact science can be. Rest assured though, there's obviously something not quite right going on upstairs. Pop culture has been in decline for a long time now, but that won't have any meaning of value to the typical "progressive" wannabe. It's been wave after wave of the wannabe's lust for attention, notoriety and fame, and now you can't tell the wannabe from the real thing. That's not progress, it's a rip-off. If I want to be entertained by it I can take it with a grain of salt and a fearlessly adult sense of humor, however ruthless...No offense!

Progressivism is a disease because it causes extreme levels of Cognitive dissonance.

What they WANT is not what they get.....so a whole new lefty Utopian imaginative fake world needs to be created to allay the cognitive dissonance emotional symptoms that make them so wired and reactionary. They are like children with undeveloped mental capacity.Delayed gratification in their lives brings about further emotional trauma. All of these aspects, when taken together, makes them the perfect cannon fodder for their propaganda masters who pull their strings for the totalitarian fascist Biden administration , an administration which follows the pathway of Saul Alinsky , and Obama's critical race theory that he perfected under the tutelage if Reverend Ralph Wright for over 20 years in Chicago.

The emotional , wired aspect of progressives is their greatest weakness. To exploit it the best weapon is public ridicule , first demonstrated as effective against fascist by Winston Churchill, who trolled Hitler mercilessly. Likewise Trump trolls his enemies the same way, very effective.

When they get truly insane and screaming at each other, there is a chance they might wake up.....many are doing just that and switching their support to President Trump.

We must put adults in charge of our country again.

[nopardons]

BTTT

[blueunicorn6]

No.

Progressivism is the rational realization of a group of cruel and greedy people that they can manipulate mentally ill people to gain power and wealth through something called politics instead of working hard.

[mjp]

they also suffer from obsessive wishful thinking trance of utopian fantasies that are unconnected to reality

[Boomer]

While this op-ed weighs heavily into confirmation bias, it also happens to be true IMHO.

Dems/progs/marxists/commies (all the same thing) say and do insane things all the time. Their reality is a full bubble off the real reality. It's like they are dancing to a drum beat normal people can't hear. They are able to justify their insidious actions that would crush a normal person's conscience.

As a thought experiment I wish it was possible to see the world through their eyes for just an hour or so to experience that alternate reality for myself. It might explain a lot of things or it might confirm what I currently believe, that they are indeed mentally ill from birth.
