ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

Have you ever tried reasoning with someone, only to realize logic simply doesn’t land—because they’re not reasoning like an adult at all?

In Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec, Episode 156: "Why Liberals Are Like Children ft. Mike Cernovich," we dive headfirst into one of the most controversial and revealing persuasion insights of our time: how modern liberals think and how best to interact with them without losing your cool, your logic, or your credibility.

Lisec, a New York Times bestselling author, certified hypnotist, and ghostwriter of 96 nonfiction books, brings his signature blend of rhetorical expertise and psychological analysis to dissect this complex topic. He is joined by none other than Mike Cernovich—also known as Cerno, the viral provocateur whose insights into politics and human behavior have long dominated the timeline on Cernovich Twitter.

What do liberals believe? According to Lisec and Cernovich, the answer isn’t found in political platforms—it’s found in emotional frameworks. The liberal mind, they argue, operates less like a logic machine and more like a fifth-grade girl who values “niceness” over truth, and “fairness” over reality. If you’ve ever asked yourself how liberals think, this episode offers clarity you won’t get anywhere else.

When Mike Cernovich recently went viral again with his statement that “Liberals are like children,” it sparked a wave of reactions across Cerno Twitter. But is it just a rhetorical jab—or is there persuasion psychology at work here? In this episode, Lisec breaks it down, explaining why this comparison isn’t just metaphor—it’s a critical persuasion technique rooted in how adults successfully manage emotional reasoning in real-world settings.

If you’ve ever wondered how to talk to liberals without escalating a situation—or exhausting yourself in fruitless debates—this episode is essential viewing. Lisec equips you with practical persuasive techniques, rooted in the understanding that many public political debates are not battles of ideas but battles of emotional maturity.

Drawing on decades of persuasion examples, techniques of persuasion in writing, and even examples of persuasion in advertising, Lisec shows that the key to winning hearts and minds isn't always facts and figures—it's posture, tone, and timing. He illustrates how persuasion happens not when you shout louder, but when you appear more mature and composed. When dealing with liberal thinking, the goal isn’t to "win" the debate—it’s to be the adult in the room.

Throughout the conversation with Cernovich, you’ll hear about real-world applications of this mindset: from Mike Cernovich’s Twitter sparring matches to the way Donald Trump handled interviews and debates without giving in to the emotional baiting of his opponents. The point is not to insult—but to understand how modern liberals think and to persuade yourself out of needing their validation.

The liberal tendency to anthropomorphize animals while dehumanizing preborn children is another telling contradiction Lisec unpacks, illustrating the emotional inconsistency that often defines liberal thinking. In these moments, we’re reminded that persuasion psychology isn’t about what’s fair—it’s about what works.

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only understand how to persuade someone to do something in emotionally volatile situations—you’ll be able to do it with calm authority. You’ll be able to spot when you’re being emotionally manipulated and choose instead to stand firm, dad-mode activated.

So, if you’re ready to learn how to talk to liberals without getting sucked into the chaos—and you’re curious about what Cernovich has to say about it all—don’t miss Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec Ep. 156: “Why Liberals Are Like Children.”
