The same could be said about adults, as best noted in this article written right after Trump's 2016 election:

.... What (liberals) really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy. The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa. Feminism, deconstruction, and gender theory are not just academic abstractions up for discussion among liberal academics: They are articles of their religious creed. Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.

You wonder why the left is having a nervous breakdown in the wake of Trump's election? It is because, for them, politics is the means to secular salvation. This means that, to them, political failure is not just a setback on the road to a more stable society—it is a blow to their very worldview. Opposition to their program is not just wrong-headed, but evil.

This is why all of the excesses of these demonstrations—death threats, looting, violence—can be excused by CNN and MSNBC: They are the necessary extreme measures, justified in light of the threat to their ideology.

Because they’re “trapped in the wrong body”, at least that’s what we’re told. Because they’re the product of a broken educational system, failed nuclear families, and progressive-dominated culture and media - would be my guess.

Today’s secular progressive has no such hope. Their joy will come once they’ve worked hard enough to fix all the problems. No wonder they’re depressed.


Trouble is that their ‘Fixes’ create more problems, and often, worse problems that the one they ‘Fixed’.

They will be depressed in perpetuity.

They are unhappy because they don’t know Christ as their Lord and Savior; therefore they have no hope.

As a result, the thing that makes young people liberals is not so much their belief in a social safety net, but their belief that we are in charge of ourselves — my body my choice.

No.

You have the wrong end of the stick.

Liberals believe that they are not in charge of themselves as long as one person does not agree with them. Every unhappy thought, every less then magnificent outcome, every drop of rain is because of the actions or thoughts of some one else.

Nothing is just chance. Nothing that is different from their ideal is to be met with a shrug. If it is different it must be evil and it must be destroyed.

They do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Period.

probably because they’re not getting all of our $hit fast enough.

Where’s this communism they learned about in school and voted for? Houses still cost money! Damn...

Who knows? Who cares? But they’re going to be a lot more unhappy when reality dawns on them.

almost three in five teenage girls felt persistent sadness. Girls are twice as likely to be depressed as boys, and one in three girls said they seriously considered suicide. This is a real crisis, and several factors are relevant.

Why are young progressives so unhappy?

They usually have a Public School Indoctrication.

Because they are liberals. Liberals are perpetually outraged about everything. they would fall all to pieces if they didn’t have thing to rage about. They think th3mselves morally superior to others, even thouhg everything deep inside them keeps trying to tell them how wrong they are (its the holy spirit trying to convict their consciences- but they ignore him by raging at others in hopes of drowning out his convicting message to their hearts)

They’ve been lied to by government and public schools their entire lives. Now, they’re trying to live those lies out in the real world.

They are discovering that they’re living lies. So, they double down on the lies and blame everyone who doesn’t agree with them on the lies.

We know who the father of lies is.

We know who the Way, the Truth, and the Life is.

Their souls are in torment.

Maybe it’s because they’ve realized that their political utopia is a fraud.

From the movie tombstone:

Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?

Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

Wyatt Earp: What does he need?

Doc Holliday: Revenge.

Wyatt Earp: For what?

Doc Holliday: Bein’ born.

Unhappiness for the left isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.

When you have swallowed the lies that injustice rules the world, that your culture is poisoning the world, that your heritage is evil and that there is no hope, you are depressed by all your world view and surroundings.

They’re sad because they are told to be sad. They are depressed because they are told everything they do is harmful.... to others in minority “communities”, to the environment.... Any debate on any issue, any disagreement with someone else, they are hateful and a bigot. If they have talent, work hard, show up, they are “privileged”. They are so damned scared that anything they do against any leftist while in school, they will have their lives ruined. I saw this as a school teacher. I saw it from other teachers towards students. I saw kids kicked out of school for not expressing the correct orthodoxy. But most importantly, none of them know Jesus Christ.

Because “progressives” must use euphemisms to hide their commitment to Marxism and Communism.

From cradle to grave they are taught there is not God, America is a horrible place, feel guilt for anything you have; and then wonder why they are depressed.
Pinkos share nothing but pain, suffering, rage, disease and misery.
