Check out the meme on things leftists will never understand …
On the contrary: I think most leftists DO understand these things. They simply don’t care. Leftists — the serious ones — are narcissists and sociopaths. (Their supporters are simply gullible.) If their underlying psychological self-talk spoke freely, it would say: “I am right. If that’s not the way things are, that’s the way they SHOULD be. I don’t want any back talk. I am virtue — hear me roar. You will do as I say, and if there’s any back talk from you — I will shame you. And if you’re enough of a threat, I will kill you.”
Narcissism and sociopathy have been around since the first human society. These types have always polluted many families. These terms are synonymous with “tyrant.” Tyranny is as old as the hills. What’s different about today’s leftist “progressives” is they pose as something original. There’s nothing original about despots.
