"Dissocial Republican and Constituent Personality Disorder" they all seem to have it and it is
destroying our country. I have discovered the following disorder in Republicons and their constituency. Until now, it has been called "dissocial personality disorder", similar to antisocial personality disorder, but the Republicons and their followers seem to fit the profile so perfectly, I thought a name change was in order to try and explain their total disregard for 98% of us to do the bidding of the 2% at the top all the while causing great suffering and pain for the majority. I think I have made the necessary discovery that explains it all.

The World Health Organization's ICD-10 defines a conceptually similar disorder to antisocial personality disorder called (F60.2)Dissocial personality disorder. I call it, the "Republicon Party and their constituents personality disorder" Most of these loons have more than three of the following, but only 3 are needed to fit the profile. How many Republicans, that you have experienced in life, can you say don't have this disorder? I can't think of any, they all seem to suffer from it, and then make our country suffer the consequences from their illness.

"Dissocial Republican and Constituent Personality disorder" is characterized by 3 or more of the following:

1.Callous unconcern for the feelings of others and lack of the capacity for empathy.

2.Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations.

3.Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships.

4.Very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence.

5.Incapacity to experience guilt and to profit from experience, particularly punishment.

6.Markedly prone to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior bringing the subject into conflict.

7.Persistent irritability.

The statements above are not meant to be factual, and I'm sorry if I gave anybody that impression, but to me, they are. I attended a John Kyl liar seminar last summer lol.

1. I agree with your theory that the behavior of Republicans has psychological
characteristics that could be considered a personality disorder. I think that they are sick and fanatical. Their fanaticism is the component that is allowing them to lead other fanatics in politics, an extremely dangerous situation for life on Earth.

12. Totally spot on in my opinion. It's either that, or they're just "Pure Evil"

19. If there is such a thing as a "pure evil" person, it would be describing a
very sick individual. nt

2. i disagree with the idea of pathologizing conservatism
or really any ideological disposition. what it amounts to is giving up argument and turning to abuse.

3. Do you not agree, that most Republicans suffer from all or many of the character flaws listed in the
post? I appreciate your point of view, but the "new" conservatism does seem pretty pathological to me. I don't believe in abuse as a form of getting ones way or forcing people to believe as you do, the Republican however seem to have lost the ability to argue, have been placed into positions of power where they try to force their rule, rather than govern and abuse the masses at will, while catering to the corporations and the millionaires and billionaires. In my opinion, they, and their constituents, have become more and more pathological over time. I understand what you are saying, but I respectfully disagree.

6. I'm not talking about having a bad day, I'm talking about a way of being. Having a bad day is
obviously not a mental disorder. I just look at people like Bachmann, Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, Rick Scott, Scott Walker, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, George W. Bush, Rove, Gingrich, Boner, Breitbart, O'Reilly, Hannity, Inhofe, Pat Buchanan, "pastor" jones, Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson, Ted Haggard, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and Donald Trump just to name a few, and can't help but believe that my conclusion is correct. Thanks for commenting.

10. Those are your words not mine, I'm just suggesting that all of those people fit a psychological
Edited on Tue Apr-26-11 03:34 PM by louslobbs
profile that suggests they suffer from a mental defect. Where are all of the Democratic people, who behave like those Republicans I mentioned? To me, actions and words tell it all. And you are right, I don't like these people, they're destructive, they foment hate, they lie, they cheat and they are destroying peoples lives to enrich the already rich few at the top.

Also, many people who suffer from a mental disorder, don't necessarily want to admit they have it, know they have it, or if they know they have it, seek help for it. It does seem to me that a large percentage of the Republicans and their constituency suffer from some form of mental defect. Maybe a lot of us do, but none is as apparent as the Republicans.

All you have to do is listen to them and watch their actions on a daily basis:

Where are all the crazy Democrats that exhibit the same types of behavior as those on the right?

Where are all of the Democratic hate talkers that we hear on the Republican side every day?

Where are all of the racists and haters that you can point to on the Democratic side?

Where are all the pathological liars, telling lies that can be proven with facts, on the Democratic side?

Where are all of the compassion-less Democrats?

Where are all of the Democrats trying to kill Old people with their policies?

Where are all of the Democrats trying to kill unions and their families that depend on them with lies about them being a fiscal issues?

Where are all of the family values Democrats getting caught cheating on their spouses?

Where are all the Democrats claiming they're Christian and then going against everything those alleged beliefs say?

Where are all of the Democrats carrying guns to political gatherings?

Which party of people, has been on the wrong side of every good thing for the masses in this country to cut social programs that hurt and even kill the masses?

Which party recently held the country hostage, even though a separate bill had been voted on, for tax cuts to remain in effect for the middle class in order to enrich the millionaires and billionaires, while holding unemployment checks hostage for those suffering without jobs.

Who owns most of the corporations that provide information to the masses brainwashing those who are easily manipulated (and mentally ill Republicans) can obviously be manipulated.

Who wants to kill Medicare and Medicaid to further enrich the insurance cartels while giving worthless vouchers to seniors who will never be able to find insurance?

Which party preaches hate of Muslims?

Which party preaches hate of undocumented workers?

Which party preaches hate of gays?

Which party treats women like second class citizens.

In which party of people, can it be poven, that they are pathological liars? All Republicans, it's either
mental illness or pure "evil".

Don't these "character flaws" indicate some kind of defect?

Do these everyday actions by Republicans, to hurt the average person with bad policy, while enriching the already rich, not indicate some form of mental defect? Or pure "evil"

Doesn't their daily barrage of hate on radio and tv not indicate some brain defect? Or pure "evil"

This is their "normal" behavior, are you telling me that you see no potential for mental illness here?
or can we agree that it's pure "evil", they're all just "evil".

Even if it's mass mental illness, it doesn't make it any less legitimate. I think they're really sick people, otherwise your saying they are just evil and in that case, I'd rather be mentally ill.

You see, I don't like those who lie, cheat, steal, offend, hate and dictate bad policy, whether Democrat or Republican. No one really wants to admit they are mentally ill, but Republicans don't like to admit a lot of things.

It just appears as though most of the Republicans in positions of power and in the teabagger movement (sponsored by Koch) suffer from a mental defect. Their daily actions say it, not just my words. So defend your point the best way you can, but the proof, of most of them having some form of mental defect, is on my side, no matter what words you try to put into my mouth. Just look at the actions and listen to the words and there is the proof. They either have a mental defect, or they're just pure "evil", which is it? Thanks

15. I know you are a person of few words, but when you have a moment, could you just list for me those
on the Democratic side who share the Republicans hate, hypocrisy, ability to lie, and the mental defects I allege most seem to have. If you can't accomplish this, it's cool, we can just agree to disagree. Thanks

5. Hrm. I have most of those with a couple caveats.
1. Fortunately, I care about the feelings of others and empathize with them. Unfortunately, they seldom know it because I always come across as 'off'.
2. I refuse to be 'responsible' in the manner of conservative calls to responsibility. Social norms and rules? Yeah, screw them too. I don't care if it'll make me 'normal', I'm not chitchatting about American Idol.
3. Yeah, this one sucks.
4. Ooooh do I hate frustration. I don't get violent about it though.
5. This is probably what saved me from a life of conservatism instead of just my formative years. I make Catholics seem carefree when it comes to guilt. :)
6. Plausible rationalizations...yeah I can do that sometimes. But only if they're both plausible and truthful. Or seem truthful to me, at least.
7. Ehh, sometimes.

Then again, being raised a conservative, perhaps that only reinforces that these are symptoms of it. Interesting thought I suppose. But really...on the long-term scale, I see these as having less to do with politics and more to do with many other psychological factors. I ~know~ I'm dissocial. Awareness can overcome many of the bad factors of it, even though it does make second-guessing yourself a natural habit.
