'Liberal Mind' author's extensive study explains 'Psychological Causes of Political Madness'

With the American left, the Democratic Party and the establishment news media displaying ever-more bizarre symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome, here comes a veteran psychiatrist making the case that the mental-emotional world of leftists really is tantamount to a mental disorder.

“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,” says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the acclaimed book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.” “Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to “the vast right-wing conspiracy.”

For decades he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.

Rossiter says today’s liberalism, as displayed by the likes of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton throughout the previous administration, as well as by today’s Democratic Party leaders and they increasingly hysterical “mainstream media,” can only be understood as a psychological disorder.

Some are so bat-feces crazy, they can’t even tell what they are after unzipping their pants.

Is there no cure for this deranged mental condition?

[Electric Graffiti]

Today’s?

You have to be mentally ill to be a leftist. Leftists are the same here, the world over and throughout history...Nasty, unstable tyrannical M-Fers

Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Obama...Hillary.

Yesterday? Tomorrow? Still crazy after all these years. And psycho drugs.

“Is there no cure for this deranged mental condition?”

Yes. Sterilization and deportation.

Good for Dr. Rossiter. I tried to read Jonathan Haidt’s “The Righteous Mind,” but Haidt is a lefty. It’s an interesting book and he cites some good research, but in the end I think he has only a shallow understanding of right vs. left psychology.

I have to add to this, I tested over 1,300 folks, throw in the Art Lafer’s curve (He checked economies back 3500 years and determined that when the Government is more than 17% of GNP the economy declines, we are at 25%)

I have been testing people for their management style (same as personality) for my entire working career. Then for 15 years I owned a large consulting company here in Seattle, and tested a many more folks (over a 1,000) for high level positions, as well as for team building in both the public and private sector.

Here is a quick summary: There are 6 basic elements that make us who we are and how we act. Drive (accomplishment), Influence (control over others) Compliance (following the rules) Security (action taken to prevent the unexpected), Energy level and IQ (least important).

The relationship of those attributes makes us who we are. I believe it is determined 70% genetic and 30% cultural.

In High School are egos, are much more sensitive and still evolving. There are actually 9 basic groups of personality styles, but four basic ones:

Task Oriented - These people are driven by accomplishing tasks - they tend to be a bit gruff, and focused on getting things done. Good delegater’s, but expect results from their subordinates. About 17% of the population (my estimate) Business owners, managers, etc This describes Trump who also has a very high energy level.

Influencers - these folks are motivated by their control over others. They are personable, look good, and tend to be popular - They tend to be poor delegator’s, and micro manages their subordinates. Also about 17 %. Politicians (why we’re doomed), Lawyers, Journalists, Academics Marketing & Sales, and entertainers.

Compliant - Detail oriented creative, and steady. Can be counted on - this is about 33% of the population. Engineers, Doctors, Scientists, researchers, teachers

Security Detail oriented also, tends to be conservative, protects status by following direction, steady good friend, and helper. Also about 32% of population, Artisans, carpenters, steel workers, also many engineers, Doctors and professionals.

Now, those 6 characteristics vary from high to low in all individuals so we humans are individually unique. Also some people are able to move from one style to another.
