What is the psychological diagnosis of conservative extremists? - JWill - 02-28-2013 08:12 AM
(Tea-publicans probably shouldn't read this)
I have a few Facebook friends who believe literally Obama is basically every crazy thing he's been called over the past four years -- Socialist Tyrant, Antichrist, Muslim, Kenyan, Communist Dictator.
They believe in most political conspiracy theories about Benghazi, healthcare, gun control, etc.
What would this type of person be diagnosed? I there some term more specific than "paranoia" or "delusional"?
I knew I was taking a risk asking for this kind of advice in a place where these types tend to congregate, but I think it was worth it (got some answers) and necessary (didn't know where else to go). Thanks!

I am TEA party all the way. I just don't want to pay for you, liberal.

The word "Idiot" comes to mind.

There. is. no. such. thing.
Please cite an example of conservative extremism that could not be matched tenfold by actual extremism committed by Liberals!
Look at the atrocious Occupy movement. Not even Liberals take it seriously anymore. They're messy animals. Rape, murder, and theft were committed among them.
Can you say the same about Conservatives?
No, you can't. Liberals say simply tossing ideas into the air is 'extremism,' meanwhile, their side of the isle, rapes, murders, and assaults those in their own camp.

Paranoia and Delusional certainly apply, but I think there's more to it than that. Conservatives are belligerent and willfully ignorant. I don't know if zealotry is a condition, but I think that certainly applies.

Maybe schizophrenia? I don't know. Honestly, they're all brainwashed. They love hierarchies, you know.

Psychologist are at both end of the political spectrum. There few cons and mostly liberal extremist. I kinda got fooled into thinking you could do what ever you want until the reptiles showed up. If there are any moderate psychologist they never get their point across

The term would be Smarter than the average liberal Butt Hole.

My answer to you would be for you to get qualified before you make any judgments on anyone. The bottom line is those that don't agree with you must be stupid or crazy. RIGHT?
