Harvard professor Arthur Brooks explains how data shows that the unhappiest people and the most mentally ill people are mostly on the political left while the happiest are largely on the right. Liberal women 18 to 30 have a 60% chance of being diagnosed as mentally ill. Discuss.

My theory is that constantly viewing yourself as a victim in life leads to an external locus of control, causing frustration, helplessness and depression.

This is part of it for sure.

The media won’t tell you, and woke liberals are clueless: Trump’s roaring comeback is driven by everyday Americans fed up with soaring bills, not obsessed about a dozen genders or the right to a transgender bathroom. #AbookThatChangesEverything #TrumpWon

Polling has showed this to be true also

Yep! Leftism truly is a mental disorder.

Most liberals are miserable because they are gullible. They become programmed to believe the lies that are designed to enslave them.

Because they have to constantly be on their toes for the latest command from up high, no matter how inconsistent with reality.

Yeah has to be exhausting to stay in the good graces of the woke high priests.

Most liberal women in my sphere, in their 20's are depressed or traumatized. Handful of exceptions.

Very sad. Hope they wake up!

Wonder how my shift from depressed to happy correlated w/my leaving the left? Chicken/egg?

If you think back hard on this, which came first?
