I discuss mental illness on the left and right. Conservatives point to data showing leftists are more mentally ill. But this just reflects the fact that they're often unhappy. Conservatives are more likely to be mentally ill in the way Trump is. Sadistic, driven by a desire to hurt... show more

I’ve always believed that many of the people who are Trumpers have similarities with people who suffer frontal lobe injury: impulsivity, personality changes, impaired judgment, and difficulty with problem solving.

sampling bias? Don't liberals seek treatment more often for mental health issues? I have rightwing family that do not believe mental health issues are real

Conservatives are resentful and angry . Liberals most likely were raised to be empathetic and kind and being happy in a hostile society is depressing . Bottom line is everyone has a choice to be the best version of themselves

Right wingers wish to continue being that way, so they never come in for a diagnosis. Lefties are probably more self aware and humble.

"showing leftists score higher on internalizing symptoms (depression, anxiety)" is more accurate. Mental illness is a pretty broad umbrella.

America is an 'evolutionary mismatch' that is to say it prioritises market state over the nation state, market logic over evolutionary psychology, biology and natalism. This makes people feel unwell and stressed as market states lack oxytocin, market state USA makes Americans compete with themselves internally rather than cooperate for the common good, that's why which ever ethnic group enters America they die out, bar high IQ groups who can exploit market logic much more easily. Math brains tend to do well in USA, finance, tech. The rest relatively degrade and die out, so immigrants need to be imported.

Sadistic? Where did you come up with that? He just wins too much and you don't like it.

The term you're looking for is "egosyntonic."

American woman speaks the truth and says radical liberals are very obviously mentally ill “I could never date like a raging left extremist because they're so mentally f*cked — You can't mess with them because then I feel like I'm messing with a mentally challenged child. You can't run a business with them because they're gonna think 100% of profits should be donated to like sex changes for 6-year-olds. Like — I just, it's not gonna work” There is real data to back up that liberals are much more likely to be mentally ill than conservatives Pew research even did a study that found that liberals under 30 have a 56% rate of reporting mental health issues compared to only 27% for moderates and conservatives Gallup polls found Republicans consistently reported higher “excellent” mental health scores of 58% vs 38% for Democrats

My speech at our Charlie Kirk vigil in Australia. My message: Violence is not the answer. The answer is to start families and have children and live well. The mentally ill communist far-left are completely dysfunctional as human beings. They don’t know how to live. They don’t start families. They don’t have children. On a long enough time frame, the mentally ill communists will send themselves and their values to oblivion. We can beat them by building up an alternative. By showing people a more meaningful way for human beings to live.

They are delusions and statistics prove is Transgender people have substantially higher rates of mental illness diagnoses and symptoms than the general population Trans people are 6x more likely to be mentally ill than a normal person One US all-payer database study of over 10,000 transgender patients found 58% had at least one DSM-5 diagnosis vs. 13.6% in non-transgender controls They are 6x more likely to have mood and anxiety disorders Trans are 9x more suicidal They are 6x more likely to autism It’s a mental illness and we need to all stop playing along. They need treatment not parades

I didn’t get much of the incident but you can hear some of it here. At this point he was ranting and making racially charged comments. I don’t know what the solution is but when people are severely mentally ill they need to be in care so that they aren’t terrorising people

Just because someone is mentally ill, they are not exempt from the law. We need strong leaders who will keep us safe by putting criminals in jail & those who are mentally ill posing a threat to others in a mental institution - for their wellbeing and the wellbeing of our communities.

TDS IS A SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS! Deranged leftists are now dressing up in frog suits and harassing the National Guard because Trump is CLEANING THE REFLECTING POOL. If Trump cured world hunger, the Left would eat all the food. If Trump found the cure for cancer they'd push to outlaw the cure. If you're a "moderate" Democrat, the party you once knew is gone. I wish this was a joke, but it's not. These people are mentally ill.

🔥“ It’s a fact of life some people are GAY…you know what’s not a fact of life…THAT CHILDREN NEED TO BE SHOT DEAD IN SCHOOLS” - Walz 2024 Unless they are White Christian kids & you & the leftists fear mongered Trans Robin Westman into doing it…because THAT is a fact of life for families right now. When is the left going to STOP WEAPONIZING THE MENTALLY ILL to doing their DARK DEEDS by preying upon them? The more they continue to pretend as if Donald Trump is a tyrant who will bring them harm and take away their rights and use terms like DICTATOR the more this will continue to happen….and it’s EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. Just like when Zooey Zephyr kept telling Republicans THEY HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS of the LBGTQ community.They are the hate group.

Keri Smith trying to break through a Woke Right talking point to Benjamin Boyce. There's a persistent myth that only or mainly liberal atheists (from the 90s) are criticizing the Woke Right, but, in fact, traditional conservatives and Christian conservatives are prominent.

The ONLY way to be anti-communist is to be fascist. Fascists are the things communists are afraid of. They are not afraid of Trump, MAGA, or conservatives. They laugh at them and make fun of them. But they are absolutely afraid of fascists. Embrace it. It’s the only way.

ELIZABETH MITCHELL: The President is not just releasing this information, but he's following it up with action. He said the FBI, the DOJ, DNI etc, are all going to be looking into this. They're going to be doing investigations. They're going to fire the people involved, and they're even going to bring some criminal charges. And so there's going to be probably months or years of legal proceedings related to this, and so we'll be getting more and more information on this subject. Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell

People who follow the news are more likely to agree with statements such as ‘Most people care only about themselves.’ They more often believe that we as individuals are helpless to better the world. They are more likely to be stressed and depressed. /1

It's sick, but not surprising, that Trump is trying to hurt people using his shutdown as a pretext for more mass firings. He's trying to hurt people, Democrats are trying to help people by reopening government and saving their health care. I know the people are on our side.

.David Sacks: "You're gonna see in the wake of this is that a lot of Jewish people are realizing that they don't have a home on the left anymore. And I expect that many Jews are going to start shifting right into the Republican Party, to a place where I've been for a while.... But I think what's happened over the last few decades is that the civil rights movement, in particular, and the left have moved to this woke ideology where it's no longer about colorblindness. It's more about identity groups. And instead of trying to get past racial differences, it's been about accentuating them. And so we've had this whole equity agenda, which is really defined as redistribution from one racial group to another racial group. I think that, for whatever reason, a lot of Jews just hadn't confronted the reality that the left had really changed in this way. I think it goes back to the fact that they thought if we're going to be defining identity groups in this woke way, Jews obviously should be one of these victim groups, but they're waking up to the fact that Jews are not. Jews are in the minds of this woke ideology, just white people with a Jewish background. As a result, they're part of an oppressor class. And I think that a lot of Jewish people who are waking up to this are realizing this is actually a very destructive ideology, and it makes us the bad guys. So I would expect that, again, a lot of Jewish people are waking up to how the left has changed... and I would expect there to be kind of a pilgrimage now of more Jews in America towards the right, as opposed to remaining on the left where they've always been."
