Left-wing extremism is linked to toxic, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism, according to a new study published to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychology.
“Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism,” the authors wrote. (snip) “In particular, certain forms of activism might provide them with opportunities for positive self-presentation and displays of moral superiority, to gain social status, to dominate others, and to engage in social conflicts and aggression to satisfy their need for thrill seeking.”
The study on left-wing authoritarianism also showed that many times they do not practice what they so loudly preach.

Hard to be a narcissist in the middle of being in a large family. When you have to compete to be special, and not always be right , not allowed to grow up led by your emotional decisions, not applauded for participating, you earn your views. Strong families shape people. Prayer and faith shape strong families.

These researchers just ended their own careers; FBI agents at their door in three, two, one . . .

Just watch CNN and MSNBC and you'll get a good sense of it.

How can that be? The left-wing people I come in contact with a largely unattractive, self-absorbed and heaped with feelings of inferiority. In most cases tats, piercings, body odor and slobby dress give them away.

For many years, I have said that liberalism is a genetic fault. Something went haywire in the womb. How could anyone chose these beliefs on purpose?

It could just as much be the other way around.

I am guessing they did not have to go into much depth with that study to come to this conclusion.

Say it ain't so, Alex! /s
Another future article tip for the NYPost; about 90% those "mass shooters," or others who have committed gun-crimes against innocent victims, were leftist extremists. Yes, leftists extremist love their 2A Rights when they can use them to eliminate enemies at work or school.

Only confirms what conservatives have said for years, but it’s nice to see it in print.

I'm the lone Black Conservative in a family of Black Biden voting, Obama worshipping, Hillary Clinton supporting democrat leftists. I could've told you that with no study required.

An interesting sidelight.
I turn off all the "personalization" of online ads that I can find. This means I see ads based on the demographics of a site rather than what the machines think I want to see. I notice the TEMU ads on Lucianne.com, and the ads at New York Post when I follow the link to the Original Article show a lot of female breasts and derrieres, young women who want to be life-sized plastic dolls and the accessories one needs to achieve this result.
I think I have learned something about Lucianne.com's demographics. I will say no more.
(I turn personalization off for two reasons: 1) they are intruding on my privacy, and 2) how will I ever see something new if all the ads I see are for things I already know I like? Idiots.)

Old saying, very true:
"Liberalism is a mental disorder."
Yep, they ARE crazy. And it is ever more obvious as time goes on.

Totally correct article. The leftist extremists are so driven by their psychopathy that they see no reason not to cheat in the elections, no reason not to abuse our children with their indoctrination and really have no problem committing a myriad of crimes. I agree also with the line "The study on left-wing authoritarianism also showed that many times they do not practice what they so loudly preach." As evidence look at Pelosi and all the democrat governors and mayors that broke their own lockdown rules for the peasants. Where are the mental hospitals?
