That is

totally true! I don’t think I’ve EVER met a less introspective bunch. And that is true for at least two reasons:

  1. It may go against their cherished political philosophy. And that political philosophy is held with religious intensity, which makes sense because it IS a religion–a cult, really.
  2. Introspection is always an attack on ego for them. “I can’t be wrong! ME!” It is a fit of narcissism, and the lack of introspection exponentially increases that–it’s like gasoline on a fire.

It’s a glaring–and important–weakness. And it actually prevents personal progress. It also prevents taking in any contrary information. It’s ALL within the cult, NOTHING outside the cult. It’s a form of epistemic closure.

The Fauci thing

really IS shocking! There seemed to be such psychopathological narcissism!

Boy, talk about

nausea-inducing! How can even Lefties tolerate it? From the looks of things, THIS is narcissistic personality disorder! Just unreal…

But hey, NOTHING

to see here!

I’m NOT saying all “transgender” people are child molesters. But I do need to look at emotional stability issues!

Scientifically,

there really is no longer even a question.

Decades of research have shown that political conservatives report better mental health and greater happiness than their counterparts on the left. A new study published in the journal Political Behavior takes that finding a step further, finding that “mental illness is emerging as its own political identity and is most heavily aligned with leftist political ideology and causes,” and that it clusters heavily among younger, far-left Americans.

Again, that is hardly a shocker to any of us who are educated about such things. Meaning comes into our lives in the relationships we have, and Leftism preaches anger, envy, and alienation from anyone who might think differently than you do. It is a very instrumental and atomistcapproach to relationships. Not a ton of reciprocal “Unconditional Positive Regard.” And that is NOT a recipe for a happy life!

Once again, I think this stems from Leftism being very much aligned with an external locus of control (LOC). On the other hand, Conservatism tends to greatly emphasize an internal LOC. And an external LOC is tightly associated with depression and anxiety, while an internal LOC tends to be protective.

The data are really

very clear. Conservatives are much happier than Liberals. It’s science.

Conservatives are more likely than liberals to be religious, patriotic and married, all of which are conducive to happiness. But even when these factors are accounted for, there is a residual happiness advantage among conservatives.

And that makes TOTAL sense to me as a psychologist. And I think it has to do with what we call locus of control.

Conservatism in general focuses on an internal locus of control. YOU are responsible, both for your successes and your failures. if you succeed, it is because of YOU. YOU are the master of your fate. You don’t need some hero on a white horse to come save you! YOU got this. You can make things better.

OTOH, Leftism focuses on external locus of control. It tells you that you are being kept down solely because someone else is taking advantage of you. You know, “The Man.” What you do doesn’t really matter all that much, because you are driven by forces beyond your control. You need some hero on a white horse to come save you and balance the playing field!

Guess which approach leads to more happiness?

And it is VERY

clear that this has indeed happened. Very.

The day the Democratic Party lost testicle #1 was in 2016. They limped by for another eight years and severed part #2 in the summer of 2024.

… And then the Democratic Party’s popularity sank like a rock. They still haven’t recovered. With its (more) moderate wing defeated and discredited, the radical leftists consolidated power and filled the vacuum, transforming the Democratic Party into what we see today. 

And I strongly suspect that we have not followed this road to the end yet. I don’t think the Democrats are done self-immolating. Because to change, one has to first admit the one was wrong. I just don’t think Democrats are at all psychologically equipped to do that. A very large part of their very identity is being, “smarter than your average bear.” And that is really not going to change. So neither will they.

And, in fact, that stance actually prevents change. There is no way to change without admitting that what you are doing is not working and something else needs to be tried. That first step is beyond most Democrats.

For millions of American men, Good’s behavior wasn’t novel. We’ve been to this rodeo a zillion times before, because it’s the same kind of Karen behavior we’ve seen in school, at work, in public, in government, and on TV! It’s the tyranny of these smug, self-important, middle-aged white women who bully their way to the top.

News flash for the left: The more you show Renee Nicole Good and Becca Good on TV, the more young men you’ll lose. [Emphasis in original]

The Democrats have

their talking points: “The capture of Maduro was illegal!” Why? Because congress was not involved. Yeah, but that’s not true that the President can’t act without Congress, you scumbags! Ask Mohamar Khadaffi…

Democrats are just angered by righteous competence. How do they sleep at night? I guess their conscience has been seared to the point that it no longer works and now they are just empty sociopaths.

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Trump administration’s  strike in Venezuela and capture of President Nicolas Maduro was a “violation of the law.”

Hey, you vaxx turds!

We now know who you really are, and what you have done. And Heaven knows, we won’t forget. The VERY least you could do is stop being a raging narcissist, be a decent human being, and apologize!

It’s OK to be wrong. But to defensively not admit that you were wrong is blatant psychopathology.

Alas, I’m not sure that most of you possess the human decency to do admit that you were wrong. Freakin’ weasels…

I think it is true:

Democrats seem to have this overarching sense of, “I’m righteous and entitled, so screw you!” It really is quite marked. THAT is why the Democrat base had such a huge hissy fit over losing the government shut down standoff. They just feel in their bones (or the deep recesses of their psyche) that they deserve to win every standoff. Every. Single. Time. So it’s not “just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes,” it is a dastardly affront that must be avenged!

They always feel persecuted and mistreated if they don’t get everything they want. Every single thing and every single time. And that means it is problematic for anyone negotiating with them. I mean, look how they react to losing to Donald Trump!

It just is not normal, people. This a diaper-filling, breath-holding tantrum!

Because compromise actually means that you don’t get everything you want. And they cannot manage that at all! They want it all. And they never think that they might get nothing, instead. But their negotiating stance ensures that they either get all they want or nothing. And then they are offended and feel mistreated if it is nothing and gloat incessantly if it IS everything. Not a pleasant bunch to work with…

The Democrat base’s reaction to ending the shutdown exposes the absurdity of the position Democrats have taken for the last six weeks, that the shutdown is somehow the Republicans’ fault, even though every Republican voted, repeatedly, to keep the government functioning. The Democrats’ theory (although never articulated as such) was that Democrats are entitled to get their way, always and everywhere, even when they are in the minority. 

… The Democrats’ base voters hate the fact that the government will re-open, SNAP benefits will be paid, and so on. I have no idea how voters outside the Democrats’ hard core will react to the end of the shutdown, but one would hope that some, at least, finally understand the indefensible game the Democrats have been playing.
