There Is a Mental Illness Crisis Among Liberals

[HotAir] I am not speaking metaphorically. I am not using hyperbole. And I am not projecting my political prejudices onto people with whom I disagree.

It's just clear as day that a substantial fraction of Democrats are out of their minds. Quite literally, they have lost touch with reality.

We often talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it is a very real thing. But what I am talking about is something deeper and even more troubling, although the madness is expressed most vividly when lefties talk about Trump. We are facing a genuine mental health crisis.

56% of young, liberal white women have been diagnosed with a mental disorder, based on a survey by Pew Research.

It often manifests itself in bizarre ways:

Some Democrats--not all, of course, or even the majority of people who will fill in their ballots with ill-conceived votes for Democrats--have genuinely lost their minds. It's not exclusively Democrats, of course, but the home of mental illness-driven politics is in that party.
To paraphrase Lazarus Long: "Want what they want, when they want it - and think this constitutes a natural law".

#2 My observation seems we have fewer liberals as in the past. The few that remain ware face masks still but many have gone missing. I suspect the vaccines played a part in their early demise. Those who still live have many reoccurring medical problems of all types. I see many people every day all walks of life. I find it a pleasant trend as much less drama occurs. A state of past years of normalcy appears.

#3 My hypothesis is that we sit in the intersection of two alternate universes in which people view their surroundings and the world in general so differently from each other.

hysteria. (n.) nervous disease, 1801, coined in medical Latin as an abstract noun from Greek hystera "womb," from PIE *udtero-, variant of *udero- "abdomen, womb, stomach" (see uterus). Originally defined as a neurotic condition peculiar to women and thought to be caused by a dysfunction of the uterus.

#4 #3 Yes, The information accepted confirms their own experience or beliefs. I have spoken with the liberal and I have found the exchange of information impossible. The liberal mantra is always the same. So at family gathering you are told not to talk about politics and so on.

#5 What I would like to tell all these little darlings is "Everything you believe about the World - especially about your place in it - is wrong."

#9 I find it difficult to believe that tricking the body into thinking it is pregnant for five years of club lifestyle is a zero effect mentally.

The matrix shows me that commercial, its literally the hook.

And that was before Nanny TikTok and Generation Covid emotional retardations.
