‘Psychopathic narcissist’ types who ruined Dems will ‘migrate to the right’

Democratic Party collapse was little more than a cautionary tale to Dr. Jordan Peterson as he warned where he suspected the “psychopathic narcissists” responsible would end up.

Between the accomplishments of President Donald Trump’s administration and the utter disarray of the left since his return to the White House, Republicans of all stripes have had much to celebrate. However, as an employee of the Kennedy Center became the latest to self-destruct, getting himself fired for a naked video protesting the GOP leader, renowned Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson warned similar characters would soon “migrate to the right.”

During an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” Friday, the author of “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life,” was asked by the host if “doom” was coming for the Democrats if they couldn’t get their act together.

To that, Peterson contended, “Well, I think it already has, in some ways, spelled doom for them because it was the takeover of the Democrats by the radical narcissist types that really did them in. And I would say, also, a warning to people on the right…because the right is ascendant now in the U.S. that means that the power-hungry narcissist types, who really don’t care what they believe but are after acclaim and attention, they’ll migrate to the right.”

“So the right is gonna be in the same situation with regards to having to draw distinctions relatively soon,” he argued. “I can already see that start to happen on platforms like X. But the Democrats — at least there’s a good centrist position on the right-hand side, and the Democrats have nothing. They have no real leadership in the center and I think they chased almost anybody who had any courage out of the party over the last seven or eight years.”

For context, he specifically called out antisemitism as an example of the vitriol from “narcissistic players who are claiming…right wing and religious affiliation” akin to the radical behavior of leftists as he suggested, “Wherever there is power concentrated, you can expect the psychopathic narcissists-types to migrate. And then they claim the beliefs, but really all they’re after is attention.”

Addressing the Democratic Party directly, Peterson brought up New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez traveling with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) on the “Fight Oligarchy” tour and how many on the left looked to the radicals as leaders.

“I think the Democrats are without direction, as well as without leadership. You can see AOC moving ahead in terms of her popularity along with Bernie Sanders and that’s because the socialist wing of the Democrats at least has a bit of a story,” he explained. “The centrists, such as they are, have almost nothing to say. They don’t have a vision of the future to share. And I actually think that’s too bad because, to have a healthy political situation in your country, you need a credible opposition.”

Of note, Peterson pointed out that Democrats remained unwilling to join him on his podcast and would only speak to him in private, “So the center has to be put together on the Democrat side again and they don’t know how to do it.”
