The ‘Disease’ That Drives The Democrats
The ‘Disease’ That Drives The Democrats
Theirs is the party of cruelty, sadism and derangement.

Argentina President Javier Milei recently had some sharp words for the political left. But his observation is backed by more than his experience. Research makes it clear that the various strains of leftism, from today’s American Democratic Party to Democratic Socialists to green radicals to the tens of millions of voters who are attracted to progressive candidates and policies, are fueled by an emotional crisis. We beg our brothers and sisters on the left to consider why they do what they do.
Milei, a defender of laissez-faire economic policy, said he once “thought being on the left was a mental problem.” But what he eventually “discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul.”
It is “built on envy, hatred, resentment, unequal treatment before the law,” he said during a television appearance. Leftists and “are very violent,” and because “they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
Contemporary examples of this are Antifa’s thuggery, the organized aggression toward and abuse of ICE agents and other federal officers enforcing immigration law, and the useful idiots who rioted over George Floyd’s death.
Long-time Issues & Insights friend Deroy Murdock argues persuasively that the Democrats have become “the party of cruelty and sadism.” During the pandemic, he observes, they “gleefully locked down their constituents, banned church services, barricaded California’s beaches, blocked Michiganders from their rural cabins, and forced COVID-positive residents into New York’s nursing homes, killing 12,473 previously uninfected seniors.”
Democrats also “closed schools for far too long, never mind that the virus barely affected children.” This isolated them “from their playmates” to the point that some “grew depressed and committed suicide.”
“This cohort is damaged for life,” says Murdock, a victim of a “sick, evil Democrat Party deliberately” that “steers citizens into, not out of, harm’s way.”

Two years earlier, while Joe Biden was still stumbling, bumbling and mumbling around the White House, Issues & Insights cited a study which found that “individuals with dark personalities – such as high narcissistic and psychopathic traits – are attracted to certain forms of political and social activism which they can use as a vehicle to satisfy their own ego-focused needs instead of actually aiming at social justice and equality.”
This provided a clear explanation, we concluded, for the existence of “the Democratic Squad, Antifa, global warming foolishness, the disturbing obsession with wokeness and destruction, censorship, forced compliance, and a dictator’s lust for dominance on the left.”
It’s obvious now that “the unstable, the cranks, the neurotic, the egomaniacs who feed on attention, the ruthless power seekers are drawn to the Democratic Party.”
Whether today’s left is driven by mental illness or a malignancy of the soul might never be discovered. All we ask is for the unwell to get the treatment they need. For the sake of our republic, don’t be crazy.
Commentary:
It more a lack of Democrats owning up for their actions and having the discipline to change. Instead, they blame everyone else. Then the envy sets in followed by hate followed by violence. As Milei has said, you give the Left a finger and they will take your arm. Just for starters. They are a cancer.
It is the Democrat leftist position to blame evil on illness. Milei recognizes that humans have free choice. Democrats may have weaknesses that render them subject to evil persuades, but they have some choice in the matter.
Bottom line, they need a spiritual awakening to a God who teaches and commands altruism. Taxing society to pay ineffective [mostly atheist/agnostic believers in materialist theories] therapists is a socialist act. The world needs acts of goodness and kindness which open us to real spirituality.
