The word I have long used is “solipsism” . . . the inability to see an objective reality outside one’s own view of the world around you, a view rooted in self-absorption, in emotion instead of reason. Leftists have become snowflakes, and the Media has become all-emotional yellow journalism. Facts and trust are not important.

Leftism is definitely a mental disorder. As far as I’m concerned; it’s settled science.

Now we just need a cure. Something that can be put into the water so it fixes every last one of them.

I’m still not opposed to frontal lobotomy’s if needed though.

Let’s start with Mad Maxine and her ilk and the severely impaired like the leftist billionaire Tom Steyer.

Some are mentally ill.

The Democrat leaders are just dirty thieves.

Well, in order to support the leftist "liberal" agenda they have to be either congenital/pathological liars or wildly delusional and disconnected from reality. Perhaps a combination of both. The leftist "liberal" world view and the ideas and ideals they espouse are simply irrational, inconsistent, hypocritical, and just plain stupid and destructive. No sane, rational person could support them.

It doesn't take a degree in psychology to figure that out, though I'm glad to see a professional confirm what we already know.

he reason that the left has so many unstable people is they are easier to manipulate when you know what buttons to push.

"Drive (accomplishment), Influence (control over others) Compliance (following the rules) Security (action taken to prevent the unexpected), Energy level and IQ (least important)."

Jordan Peterson mentions in some of his lectures the "Big Five Personality Traits" and how various combinations, combined with IQ, can lead to success or lack therof.

Attempting to map your characteristics, I ended up with the following:

Drive (accomplishment) = conscientiousness
Influence (control over others) = extraversion
Compliance (following the rules) = agreeableness
Security (action taken to prevent the unexpected) = neuroticism
Energy level = openness to experience

Not a bad match up. What do you think?

This is a old story. Rossiter's book was published in 2006. He has not published any other books or given any interviews since 2008.

So true ... as the good Dr. Savage has pointed out well over the past decade. Nice to see this serious condition formally acknowledged in the profession.

VERY important book.

It’ll be ignored by the media, of course.

Libtardation is a real mental illness.

It’s also contagious, but can often be cured by sustained and intensive exposure to Reality, facts, and logic.

Unfortunately, the condition is also highly resistant to treatment.
