Psychiatrist Calls Today's Left Mentally Ill

'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.

I was hoping some of these kids might outgrow it. After all, weren’t we all young & crazy once?

Unfortunately so many seem stunted to the point of irredeemable.

Sounds like a good reason to ban all demonrats from owning weapons

Sounds like a good reason to ban all demonrats from voting. None of them seem able to make simple rational decisions like close the border from the illegal invasion we are suffering from.
