Barack Obama cited as excellent instance of ‘malignant narcissistic character dysfunction’
The Biden administration – which insists Donald Trump’s reelection can be very unhealthy for America – enthusiastically helps amputating the breasts and sexual organsof hundreds of troubled kids, is obsessive about ushering as many thousands and thousands of unlawful aliens (together with terrorists, fentanyl smugglers, MS-13 gang members, youngster intercourse traffickers and legions of surly, military-age Chinese language males) as potential into America, and – simply to choose one among many examples of bureaucratic madness – lately demanded, through its FAA, that U.S. airways make use of extra individuals, together with pilots, with “extreme mental” and “psychiatric” issues.
It’s more and more clear that a lot of America’s present leaders are, to place it plainly, stark raving mad.
However stating this isn’t an train in hurling nasty epithets at one’s political opponents, because the left does frequently.
Moderately, what follows is a short however critical take a look at the proposition that America’s present leaders are genuinely insane – in a clinically diagnosable approach. That is about rampant Borderline Persona Dysfunction, Malignant Narcissistic Persona Dysfunction and different scary-sounding circumstances whose medical symptom-pictures completely match a lot of right this moment’s leaders.
After all, many instances of what the secular psychiatric world labels “psychological problems” in the end boil all the way down to people who, a technique or one other, have fallen into the grip of darkish religious forces.
But it’s illuminating to briefly discover how present analysis in psychiatry, a discipline sarcastically dominated largely by the left, however has concluded that leftist radicals and leaders are, most of the time, certifiably loopy.
For instance, in a groundbreaking research revealed in March 2023, titled “Understanding left-wing authoritarianism: Relations to the darkish character traits, altruism, and social justice dedication,” authors Dr. Ann Krispenz and Dr. Alexander Bertrams discovered that left-wing extremism is intently related to “psychopathic tendencies.”
“Narcissistic people and people with psychopathic tendencies usually tend to strongly endorse left-wing antihierarchical aggression,” summarized the broadly cited PsyPost web site, which experiences the newest analysis on human habits.
“People with darkish personalities – reminiscent of excessive narcissistic and psychopathic traits – are interested in sure types of political and social activism which they’ll use as a automobile to fulfill their very own ego-focused wants as a substitute of truly aiming at social justice and equality,” the authors clarify.
Acknowledged merely, left-wing psychopaths fake to care about “social justice and equality,” however in actuality are simply feeding their large “ego-focused” lust for energy, glory and revenge, the authors say.
“Particularly,” they add, “sure types of activism may present them with alternatives for constructive self-presentation and shows of ethical superiority, to realize social standing, to dominate others, and to interact in social conflicts and aggression to fulfill their want for thrill searching for.”
Likewise, retired psychiatrist Brad Lyles, M.D., explains that “a technique of understanding the more and more outlandish beliefs and behaviors of the left is thru the lens of Borderline Persona Dysfunction. The Borderline analysis,” he notes, “is among the many most notorious diagnoses in psychiatry. It’s the analysis that retains therapists up at night time, coated in sweat, fearful of each encounter with this kind of affected person.” Lyles writes:
Understanding the long-researched processes driving Borderline Persona Dysfunction offers distinctive insights into the processes driving the extra excessive politics of the left. The Borderline mannequin explains not solely the usually inexplicable behaviors of the left – but additionally why the left is so legitimately harmful.
Essentially the most harmful characteristic of the Borderline mannequin – and the method most harmful in our politics – is “psychological” projection, as distinct from the “political” selection.
Psychological projection hardens a affected person’s mere perception or suspicion that the OTHER (particular person, group) is unhealthy right into a CONVICTION the opposite particular person is unhealthy. Particularly the affected person KNOWS the opposite particular person is unhealthy.
Quite the opposite, political projection – “accusing the opposite man of what you’re doing” – is merely a STRATEGY. A distinguished – and execrable – instance would come with the three years Democrats accused President Trump of “colluding with the Russians” whereas they themselves had been in actual fact colluding with the Russians.
Psychological projection will not be a technique. It’s a menace.
With psychological projection there are not any grey areas within the perception construction: The opposite particular person is ALL BAD. There isn’t any circumstance during which an individual (or political get together) is known to own a mix of each good and unhealthy options.
This “ALL BAD” perception construction is what the late Pulitzer-winning columnist and educated psychiatrist Charles Krauthammer was getting at when he famously wrote,“To know the workings of American politics, you must perceive this basic regulation: Conservatives suppose liberals are silly. Liberals suppose conservatives are evil.”
After all, it’s this identical “conservatives are evil” perception that underlies the left’s continuous and epically deranged comparability of President Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler, hands-down probably the most reviled, genocidal mass assassin in world historical past. But prime Democrat politicians together with Joe Biden – in addition to the “mainstream” media – have frequently likened Trump to Hitler since earlier than he was elected president in 2016 and persevering with to right this moment, eight years later.
But if Trump actually is one other Hitler, the place precisely are all of his Hitler-like insurance policies and actions? In any case, the person was president of the US and chief of the free world for 4 extraordinarily vital years. So, what are all these evil practices that justify such a comparability?
In actuality, in fact, Trump’s insurance policies had been proper according to the values and sensibilities of the huge, center-right American center class that has lengthy constituted this nation’s ethical, financial and religious spine. America’s economic system was steady and powerful beneath Trump, unemployment was at historic lows, perverse commerce agreements had been changed with truthful, pro-American ones, border enforcement was a precedence, America’s army was being rebuilt, and the world was freed from main wars because of Trump’s private energy and management.
In the meantime, the present president, Joe Biden, having degraded and nearly destroyed America in each conceivable approach, has sunk to the extent of a third-world dictator by casting lots of of American patriots into jail, destroying their lives and their households, all for protesting his theft of the 2020 election.
Due to this fact, seeing as Biden’s has been hands-down the worst administration in American historical past, the playbook governing leftwing energy politics calls for that Trump merely should be Hitler – interval – or else the Democrats will lose energy. And that’s not an possibility for them.
Skilled diagnoses Obama
However maintain on. Can all this actually be true? Is it really potential that a lot of America’s prime Democrat leaders are ruthless psychopaths?
Let’s rewind just a few years and briefly deal with Barack Obama, since a lot of right this moment’s societal insanity started or accelerated due to him, and an amazing many individuals imagine Obama is asking the photographs in Washington, D.C. right this moment. And naturally, Obama’s spouse Michelle is more and more thought of a prime contender for turning into the Democrats’ presidential candidate later this yr.
Many People imagine, and a few broadly revered voices have mentioned so publicly, that Barack Obama is a “sociopath” or “psychopath.” (For the report, although quite a few psychology articles try and differentiate between “sociopathy” and “psychopathy,” ultimately the evaluation all the time boils all the way down to the 2 being primarily the identical, with “psychopaths” simply being slightly worse than “sociopaths.”) In 2016, Dr. Ben Carson referred to Obama on digicam as a “psychopath.” The aforementioned columnist-author Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist by coaching, dubbed Obama a “narcissist” who “talks just like the emperor, Napoleon.” Pulitzer prize-winning columnist George Will wrote about “Barack Obama’s mental sociopathy.” And so forth.
Intently take into account this typical description of sociopathy: “Sociopaths are sometimes well-liked due to their appeal and excessive charisma, however they don’t often care about different individuals. They suppose primarily of themselves and infrequently blame others for the issues that they do. They’ve an entire disregard for guidelines and lie continually. They seldom really feel guilt or be taught from punishments.” Remind you of anybody?
In the course of the Obama administration, this author communicated incessantly with veteran forensic psychiatrist Lyle Rossiter, M.D., who urged a barely completely different analysis for Obama, however just like “sociopathy” – specifically, “Malignant Narcissistic Persona Dysfunction.” The modifier “malignant” signified the model of “Narcissistic Persona Dysfunction” that will cross over into criminality, he defined.
Rossiter, who has since handed away, had been retained as an knowledgeable in additional than 2,700 civil and prison instances and was a real world-class authority in forensic psychiatry, which is the intersection between prison habits and psychological problems. He rigorously reviewed with me an inventory of a few of the main signs of Narcissistic Persona Dysfunction, evaluating them with Obama’s habits as president. Listed here are just a few of the important thing markers: 1) a grandiose view of 1’s achievements (all the pieces with Obama was “historic”), 2) an utter lack of ability to deal with criticism (everybody criticizing Obama or his insurance policies was attacked as an “extremist” or “racist”), and three) lack of real empathy. (For only one instance, Obama gave a televised speech on the day of the Fort Hood terror assault during which a Muslim U.S. Military main shot 45 People, 13 fatally. With all the nation reeling in complete shock and horror, and craving for sturdy, reassuring phrases from their commander in chief, Obama as a substitute engaged in small speak and an inane “shout-out” for 2 full minutes earlier than even mentioning that the worst terrorist assault on American soil since 9/11 had occurred simply hours earlier.)
Now fast-forward to right this moment. From President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to the presidential Cupboard – together with particularly Legal professional Normal Merrick Garland, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Homeland Safety Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Well being and Human Companies Secretary Xavier Becerra – all of those individuals lie actually on a regular basis. It’s what they do for a residing. And to all appearances, they achieve this simply, reflexively and with out battle or conscience.
Even Karine Jean Pierre, whose day by day job is to inform absurd and embarrassingly apparent lies to the nation with the intention to put a great face on probably the most damaging, corrupt and mentally incompetent president in U.S. historical past (to not point out the pinnacle of against the law household) has publicly described herself as a “historic determine,” as the primary black lesbian ever to function White Home press secretary.
Democrats twice as probably as Republicans to be mentally ailing
Apparently, it’s not simply the left’s leaders who’re “mentally ailing.” Gallup pollsters performed an in depth research involving greater than 4,000 interviews performed over the course of 4 years, which concluded that Republicans had “considerably” higher psychological well being than Democrats. Likewise, a SurveyMonkey survey commissioned just a few years in the past by the left-wing information web site BuzzFeed (which has since shut down) discovered that Democrats suffered considerably extra psychological sickness than Republicans. In actual fact, Democrats had been discovered to be twice as probably to have been recognized with a psychological dysfunction as Republicans in nearly each class, from nervousness, melancholy and PTSD to bipolar dysfunction, schizophrenia and narcissistic character dysfunction.
But, it’s the left that’s frequently accusing Donald Trump and his supporters of being deranged, delusional and interesting in projection – accusing others of the very evil of which they’re responsible.
Not too long ago a “gender-affirming” psychologist, Dr. Harriette Wimms, gave a unprecedented demonstration of projection, a favourite tactic of the left: On the World Skilled Affiliation for Transgender Well being’s twenty seventh annual coaching symposium in Montreal, Canada, Wimms, who’s the medical director for the Village Household Assist Heart in Baltimore, Maryland, introduced that oldsters who oppose slicing the breasts and/or intercourse organs off of their valuable kids – watch for it – have a “psychological sickness.”
Sure, there’s loads of “psychological sickness” in America right this moment. And as talked about earlier, most critical psychiatric diagnoses within the “sociopath,” “psychopath,” “malignant narcissist” area actually quantity to very darkish and demonic religious circumstances being described via a secular, non-theistic lens.
In the meantime, the overall inhabitants additionally sadly consists of giant and rising numbers of real casualties of right this moment’s deranged, sociopathic management, whether or not in authorities, schooling, medication or tradition – particularly among the many youth, the place melancholy, delusion, nervousness and suicide are rampant.
They’re true victims.
However as for the more and more totalitarian ruling elites themselves – from the “let’s lower off children’ physique elements and engineer a large international invasion of America” Biden administration to the “let’s terrify everybody about world warming and demand they eat bugs whereas we dine on steak” globalist crowd?
They’re simply evil.
