Ann Coulters liberalism is a mental disorder catchphrase has become something of a clichéd meme, but the data appears to support it.
Carried out by Slate Star Codex, the online survey collected a wealth of data from respondents about their education, demographic, lifestyle and political views.
The results show that people who occupy the farther left end of the political spectrum are more likely to have been formally diagnosed with depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
In addition, the results show that the highest percentage of respondents (38%) who admit being diagnosed with forms of mental illness also identify politically as Marxists.
In comparison, just 12.1% of conservatives say they have been diagnosed with a mental disorder.
While the survey is by no means scientific, it does give an insight into how disturbed people are more likely to be attracted to fringe leftist beliefs, which in a lifestyle sense usually encourage degeneracy and a lack of moral responsibility.

Not surprising liberalism attracts what I call “fantasy prone” personalities.

Ann Coulters liberalism is a mental disorder catchphrase...
That's Michael Savage's catchphrase, not Ann's.

Interesting points at PJW's Twitter feed I gave a link to: True, it might just be effectively measuring urbanisation or those who embrace modernity in both cases, but it would still be damning. 1:50 PM · Feb 12, 2020 Anthony 🏁 @ant_iuculano No matter what though, I don't think it's a coincidence that there are disproportionately more people with mental illness in the marxists category than in the other ideological brackets.

They are sure more unhappy and pessimistic and tight with their money and tend to blame their environment or others for their quandary
Conservatives at least here own scold and snark
But at least this minds right
People in general today are weird with so much in tumult in the West

The shrink wrote on his note pad

Good catch. He “wrote the book”, as they say.
Liberalism is a Mental Disorder published in hardcover in 2005.

Tight with their money while virtue signaling how much they care for people and have compassion for the downtrodden, the poor, the homeless, etc, ad nauseum.
I’ve been in uber progressive cities actually giving money to people I felt the Lord wanted me to help, when all the while hundreds of easy to spot lefties just pass by.
And they won’t talk to anyone. They just state straight ahead. You can’t pry them to talk.
