First, white (and especially 'very') liberals are far more likely than all other ideological-racial subgroups to report being diagnosed with a mental health condition.

Liberalism/progressivism is a mental illness. They are at war with reality, decency and value.

The liberal response will be:

“It’s because too many doctors and health care professionals are conservative.”

Look for a change in the definition of mental illness.

My take on liberals is that they have sociopathic tendencies. They do not have compassion and few emotions. So, they pretend to care by loudly protesting whatever extreme cause they can find, which gives them the attention they think will prove they care. It is rare to see a liberal cry.

"It's hard to say whether the chicken or the egg came first, but their sick world-view could only produce depression, anger, and hatred, and it could only be accepted by the mentally ill."

I agree - there's lots of area here to wade through in determining correlation and/or causation. That said, IMHO, one can not embrace liberal ideology without denying facts and cold hard reality.

At its core, liberalism believes that imperfect humans in imperfect societies can be herded, coerced and moulded into a utopian state. That this has not yet been achieved is a continual cause of perpetual disappointment and an ever growing resentment and rage for those who (in their mind) stand in the way.

Makes perfect sense. You live a life of contradictions*, it’s bound to mess with your mind.

*the majority of white liberals (the quieter ones that we don’t hear screaming every day) typically get married to a person of the opposite sex and have a family. At the same time they feel guilty about it because they consider it morally wrong. It would be the equivalent of a conservative killing a child in cold blood, for no reason.

All liberals are, by default, mentally ill.

This is why white liberals absolutely should be forbidden to own firearms. I am for total gun control and confiscation for libs. Never arms your enemy. The white, liberal cuck is our greatest threat.

“The first one I thought of was Crazy Uncle Bernie. There are probably much better examples though.”

Hollyweird if full of them:
Rob “Meathead” Reiner
Cher “Sonny was the talented one” (Bono)
Michael “My movies are propaganda” Moore
Kathy “Hold Your Head Up” Griffin

etc

Liberals are proud of their mental illnesses.
