Yet your entire philosophy of big government taking care of you fits right in with the rest of the democrats. Doesn't sound that unreasonable.Usually the first hard core lefty to post a reply proves the OP correct. This one does not change that.Narcissism is a personal trait, Dumbass. You don't apply personal (which means singular) mental conditions to entire blocs of diverse peopel.
Here's the DSM-5 for NPD (meaning five of these symptoms must be present for diagnosis):
- Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
- Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
- Exaggerating your achievements and talents
- Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
- Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
- Requiring constant admiration
- Having a sense of entitlement
- Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
- Taking advantage of others to get what you want
- Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
- Being envious of others and believing others envy you
- Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
---- that remind you of any one person? Hm?
It's the clinical criteria. I should have posted the link --- it's from the Mayo Clinic.
And again, it's patently absurd to armchair-diagnose an entire political philosophy as all having the same personality trait, no matter what that trait is. That ain't even negotiable.
Nosmo nailed it to the wall in post 9: "a worn out tactic that serves only to alienate and divide". That actually describes virtually all of the OP's droppings.
And where would that be? Link? Quote?
I recognize you're trying to deflect an inconvenient point but go right ahead. Show us this "philosophy of big gummint". The whole word's watching.

Which reminds me of another funny.
Buttsoiler (the OP) under his previous name actually sat on this board and tried to tell me the difference between "liberal" and "conservative" amounted to "how big the goverment is".

Got that ? Anything over, let's say, a size 6¾ government is "liberal". Under that is "conservative". Seriously. No wonder he had to change his name. And now here he is stepping in it again, trying to pin a personality diagnosis onto an entire political spectrum.
