Leftism Promotes Psychological Abuse
American Thinker ^ | 22 Dec, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Leftists excuse perpetrators and vilify victims.

What started as a joke is no longer a laughing matter: Leftism is a mental illness whose sufferers include an inordinate number of narcissists and psychopaths. Anybody who has endured a leftist mob knows this to be true. In the name of “racial justice,” “climate justice,” “trans justice,” “justice for ‘Palestine,’” or whatever other cause du jour the woke-sters have adopted as the next life-or-death “social justice” fad, leftists block drivers on busy highways, scream in the faces of wary pedestrians, set fire to businesses and cars, and terrorize civilians. They threaten and harass strangers to promote “justice.” It’s moonbat crazy.

One of the defining characteristics that separate leftists from rational people is their proclivity for completely reordering their worldview in order to conform with every tenet that reigning leftist authority figures pronounce as a new sacred “truth.”

Twenty-five years ago, practicing leftists had no problem differentiating between men and women. “Gender fluidity” was nothing more than an intellectual abstraction discussed vapidly among self-indulgent undergrads in “women’s studies” seminars on overpriced college campuses. Had someone suggested to a leftist back then that men should be permitted to compete in women’s sports and change clothes in women’s locker rooms, the typical leftist would have gone on a righteous feminist rant defending women’s private spaces from male intrusion. Yet all that conviction disappeared in a puff of smoke as soon as leftist priests told their congregants, “Yes, Virginia, men are women, too!” Prominent institutions now describe criticism of “transgenderism” as evidence of “far-right extremism”!

Mentally stable people don’t change their belief systems on a dime. They don’t passionately warn about “global cooling” one decade before passionately warning about “global warming” the next. They don’t argue for a “color-blind” society capable of seeing past a person’s race

Bad individuals are psychologically abusive. Examine each individual.

Leftism attracts people who have a psychological need to control everything within their world..........

Liberalism is an infantile mental disorder - paraphrasing and adapting a quote from V.I. Lenin.

One of leftists’ favorite “scientists,” astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson

Look up "horses ass" in a dictionary, and you should see this:

Looking up "jackass" should produce the same result.

Along with liberalism being a mental illness, include, Illusory Superiority to the mix. If you look up its definition, you will see a picture of the Democrap party.

The goal of the abusive left is to push you into believing more and more ridiculous things, until you are defending things that you know are impossible.

You have to really wonder about the intellectual capacity of a political party that uses a jackass for it’s symbol.
