How we do Anything, is how we do Everything. Our VALUES shape how we see our world, and react to it.
From what I've witnessed, political naivete coincides with severe deficits in emotional development. You're not gonna find many conservative-minded people living in chaotic, high-conflict relationships, because they typically have a higher sense of Self and worth, and don't put up with dramatic, disruptive shit from anyone.
Lying, gaslighting, hyper-controlling behaviors, violent protests, disregard for the safety and sanctity of others, poor impulse control and lack of empathy and boundaries/borders are what we've observed over and over again, among radical left-wing "progressives."
Conservative, moralistic, God-loving individuals don't act-out in ways that undermine friends, family members or society. Their bonds with close others are mature, circumspect and serene. They're good at problem solving, rather than circling the drain indefinitely, because at least ONE of the parties is incapable of rational thinking, and accepting well-reasoned explanations.
Wouldn't it be marvelous if one person could fix a relationship that's not functioning well? Can't happen. A healthy, vibrant, mature relationship bond takes two people working in concert to make it work. While one party can CHANGE the existing dynamic by not pandering to the dysfunction, they cannot REPAIR it alone.
Long-term relationships DO exist with Borderline Personality Disordered partners, but they are never consistently calm, copasetic, nourishing and loving.
Today's political climate is acutely highlighting BPD traits among those in powerful government positions. The treachery that's been inflicted upon the American public during this current administration is in sharp contrast to the emotional health, financial balance and well-being that existed prior.
Those of us who are rational and can SEE the bigger picture feel like we're living in an insane asylum~ which is precisely what it feels like to love and live with a Borderline.
