The great Zach Goldberg, the youngish Ph.D student who has been quantifying the explosion of “wokeness” in the news media and elsewhere over the last decade, has been looking through the raw data in the Pew Research Center’s latest American Trends Panel Survey, and unearthed some interesting findings, which you can see here.

I have two kin who were just typical yellow dog dems until Hussein Obama came along.

Yes, “liberalism” (really socialism) does cause mental illness because believing in it requires one to live a lie; professing one set of beliefs and actions in public while following another set of conservative beliefs and actions in private.

Like what Marshall Applewhite did?
Strange - all my elderly relatives are staunchly conservative, but their grandkids are Berniebots. Easy to tell who survived the Depression and WWII.
I like your analysis. Being held accountable for your actions is rare in this age.
Yes, but it fails to explain dumbass, progressive republicans...
Isn’t this a classic chicken-egg problem?
“...I think it’s the other way around....”
Totally agree.
We need to open up the state mental wards and put em all back in there. They’re not fit to be among sane people...too dangerous.
Savages book. Liberalism IS a mental disorder
It’s just rejection of truth in all forms.
