Not when they advocate for involuntary exploitation, formerly known as enslavement. Not when they litigate and legislate to curb our liberty and rights. Not when they support inequality before the law. Not when they believe in diversity of the group, rather than the individual. Not when they observe selective science, adjusting to suit their whims, and passing speculation as “theory.”

There are other reasons, but that is a good place to start.

By the way, there was no mention of “evil”. However, the “lunatic” label is perfectly applicable to anyone who meets the several criteria listed above. Some people are simply out-of-touch with reality, have limited recollection of history and present events, and are, simply stated, submissive dependants. These kind of people should not be in a position to direct others people’s lives.

“It explains why rational people cannot relate to the lunatics.”…

Again, is so curious that we have grown to such a point in this nation that we start looking at the opposition as “evil”, or “lunatics” and not simply as well meaning people whose views are different then ours.

One would think that civil discourse in this nation is better than providing ammunition to our enemies.

Now that we understand the origin of the liberal/progressive, we need to focus our attention on the “elites”, the regressives’ mortal gods.

Who are they?
What is their motivation?
Why do they seek to enslave humanity?

Is it simply about massaging their ego? This may well be. I would imagine that fawning dependents would be less than fulfilling to the egomaniacs. Is there any greater achievement than to dominate and control a sentient human being that defies an imposed tyranny? A challenge unlike any other.

I did not consider that.

The liberals/progressives are using a metaphor to reveal their feelings of inferiority and weakness. So, they’re not insulting the conservatives. No, quite the contrary. They are proclaiming submission to their superiors.

Excellent insight, Dr. Ilion. As they continue to reveal their true nature, and with further analyses, we may, one day, crack this nut, and emancipate the regressives from their self-imposed asylum.

So, now we know. We are dealing with psychotics, likely resulting from sabotaged character development, resulting in an inferiority complex. That explains their child-like behavior and their need to rebel. They will, by necessity, act and say the opposite of an evolved human being. Thus establishing their seemingly erratic, inconsistent behaviors.

It explains why rational people cannot relate to the lunatics.
