It is interesting that the issue with God is as old as humanity. Why did the various groups try to kill the Jews? Of the Ro an Empire try to destroy Isreal and stop Christianity? Why did Alexander the Great create the clergy-laity hierarchical system? Because it threatens the power of people to be free in God and Christ. It’s seen as something that they, the so-called people of power, cannot control. Being a believer, a Christian, is no threat to anyone other than the evil one and his followers.
Any goodhearted human in this twisted reality we have created (for greed), will be mentally unstable if he doesn't do 1 of several things, and those things are not good. But I agree with this post, every word. It's not just for politics, disease has metastasized.
The mentally ill are now central to their political strategy: "There’s nothing crazy about the Democrats’ agenda. Every Democrat policy is designed to build the party’s voting coalition. The Democrat dream: perpetual division and a White minority": https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/theres-nothing-crazy-about-the-democrats
So much of the behavior on the left now resembles demon possession. Someone mentioned the possibility of there being something in the Covid jabs that affected people's thinking. I sometimes wonder if that's true since the level of delusion and inability to reason seems to have increased so drastically even since Covid. Maybe the jab was the bio-weapon in more ways than we realized.
All you supposed Christians🤮🤮all of you are liars and Traitors. Talk about mental health issues wow look in the mirror. Plus look what Your doing with All your Hate and Fear Disgusting 🤢 God does see All so watch out cuz Karma is a Real True BITCH. Oh and All the Proud boys Pretending to be ICE Agents 🤣🤬💩you know what you are, that’s why your faces are covered cuz you’re all cowards.You feel good when you tear others down, Simply EVIL 😈 and you should be Ashamed of ALL YOUR ACTIONS; MAGA=NAZI
I found this piece deeply troubling—not least because it weaponizes mental‑health rhetoric to denigrate political opponents rather than foster genuine understanding.
1. Misusing mental‑health statistics.
Citing that 45 % of self‑identified liberals report poor mental health vs 19 % of conservatives, as reported by Nate Silver’s analysis of a 2022 survey , overlooks context. This is self‑reported data, and mental health is shaped by many factors: socioeconomic security, support networks, religiosity, and also personality traits that may make someone more likely both to lean liberal and to report distress .
2. Reversal of causality.
Research suggests poor mental health often drives individuals toward more liberal ideologies—not vice versa . Social media exposure and a heightened sensitivity to injustice may both amplify mental‑health challenges and liberal identifications. But the direction is the opposite of what the post implies.
3. Weaponising “mental‑health” as political smear.
The claims—that liberals are in a “mental‑health crisis” because they believe systemic oppression exists or ask for government aid—lack nuance. Global mental-health trends for young people are linked more closely to rising smartphone/social‑media use and worsening loneliness—not political ideology per se .
4. Solid scientific scholarship is absent here.
There are no peer‑reviewed studies linking liberal beliefs to pathology. No mention of diagnostic criteria, functional impairment, or treatment outcomes. Instead, this becomes a political insult dressed in pseudo‑clinical language.
It’s always interesting when someone tries to turn a complex, decades-old political divide into a game of “which team is mentally healthier,” as if you could diagnose half the country by looking at a pie chart. The article making the rounds lately, claiming liberals are mentally ill because they say so in surveys, reads less like journalism and more like a high school argument scribbled on the back of a detention slip.
Let’s clear up a few things.
First, self-reported mental health data doesn’t measure objective wellness. It measures honesty, self-awareness, and willingness to acknowledge emotional states. Saying “I’m struggling” doesn’t make someone broken. It makes them more human than the person pretending everything’s just fine while the house burns down behind them.
Second, the idea that conservatives are sane because they believe in tradition isn’t a mental health diagnosis. It’s just branding. If you think faith and firearms are the only things standing between civilization and collapse, that’s a worldview—not a psychiatric clearance.
The irony, of course, is that the author insists the left is mad because they “warp reality to fit their ideology,” then spends 1,200 words twisting history, religion, psychology, and polling into a fever dream of superiority. You can’t claim to care about the truth while shouting into a megaphone that everyone you disagree with is insane. That’s not moral clarity. It’s projection.
Also, just a side note: quoting Thomas Aquinas to dunk on your political opponents doesn’t make you sound philosophical. It makes you sound like someone who Googled “truth quotes” and skipped the part where Aquinas warned against pride.
There’s plenty to criticize on all sides of the political spectrum, but collapsing that into “one side = stable, the other = insane” isn't only wrong—it’s lazy. And if someone wants to talk about mental decline, maybe they should look into why people believe pixelated memes with fake quotes over actual history books. Or why Uncle Gary keeps forwarding phishing links because “they seemed legit.”
In other words, if you’re going to throw around terms like madness, maybe make sure you’re not describing your own reflection in the screen.

This is true. TDS is real.
More than mentally ill... spiritually sick.
