snip...They have proven themselves to be dangerously passive and dangerously susceptible to inculcation by powerful Conditioners.
In addition to the two sorts of people you've mentioned.....(a)the powerful Conditioners {those who believe they are intellectually superior to everyone else}, and (b) the passive ones {those who yearn for the safety & security of a Daddy}, there is one other group. (c) the anger-filled 'brown shirt' types. These are the sociopathic sort who, because their brains are on fire with burning resentment, envy, and the need for vengeance against imagined slights, become the 'rampagers of terror, mayhem, and chaos' if they're properly primed and then unleashed by their 'handlers.'
You're absolutely right. These paranoids and sociopaths tend to become the Leftist leaders. The rest are the mindless robots who follow them.
Some of the leaders are both sociopathic and paranoid. Sociopaths tend to be paranoid. Some are merely paranoid. They are all dangerous scoundrels who should not be in positions of power.
The Democrat Party is the party of scoundrels and fools.
It's a tough call, but a fool is probably more dangerous than a scoundrel. They are the scoundrels' enablers.
Occasionally a fool becomes a party leader--Jimmy Carter, for example.
I speak of all this with confidence. My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were all Democrats. If they were alive today, they would renounce and repudiate the Democrat Party and all it has become immediately and in no uncertain terms.
My children are all Republicans--I am very proud to say.
