Is being Liberal a mental illness?

[80zephyr]

If the thread poster took the time to investigate the topic, they'd find it is the so called conservatives who have the most mental illness symptoms. Which makes sense as life is complicated and being conservative is narrow minded at best.

Not sure what the OP was about as sometimes you can find what you are already looking for. See below for another pov.

I tend to believe what I see. And I see, almost on a daily basis, liberals going nuts and posting it on social media.

I find it laughable that Jesus wouldn't approve of the current Democrat Party.

JESUS would approve of a womanizing egotist insistent on destroying the country?

It's worthless arguing over it because He is not here among us. But I don't think He would approve of the lawless thuggery of your ilk.

Where in the hell were you?

So research would suggest that if you want a happy life, stop being a Liberal.

You're probably right. It is depressing to care about other people and not be able to offer much help. If you care only about yourself you are much more in control and much happier.

Assumes that people are totally helpless to affect these things themselves. Those who do are called...conservatives.

I like looking back, to the goodle days.

Those who understand liberal principles are quite sane.

It's just too bad that none of the site Democrats are among them.

Well, I thought I would do a little research.

There's is no classification in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)—the standard for mental health diagnosis. However, research in political psychology and sociology has indicated a statistical correlation between political ideology and self-reported mental health outcomes, often noting that liberals report higher levels of anxiety and depression.

You have made over a quarter of a million posts and have yet to make a statement in keeping with Kennedy's actual political philosophy.

All you do is fall in line with whatever the Democrat party tells you.

I would use the response to covid as a litmus test for liberalism.

The LIBERAL response would be that everybody should be treated the same and afforded the same rights independent of status in life. Instead, the powers that be divided people into essential and non-essential, prohibited some people from earning a living, denied people their right of assembly, forced people to inject unproven substances into their veins and clamped down on any number of rights in general. Amazon and Walmart made bank while millions of small businesspeople and their employees suffered.

There was not so much as one single Democrat leftist in the forum who protested in any way, much less stood up for liberal principles.

Do you feel that classifying your political opponents - 35% of the US population - as being mentally ill really is a good for discussion, much less a good point of view?

Truth hurts?
