Leftism and mental health
By Noel S. Williams

It’s well substantiated that liberals tend to suffer madness and depression more than conservatives.  Unfortunately, psychotherapies for depression are not always effective.  Perhaps a complicating factor is that the afflicted often try to explain away their disease by insisting they care more about social problems, especially perceived inequality.  Then why did the mental health issues become even more exacerbated during the first Trump (45th) presidency?

Even research from leftist academia concedes that wealth inequality in the U.S. decreased during Trump’s first term — for the first time in three decades.  Under Trump, lower-income Americans were particularly sanguine about economic expansion, with confidence rates at their highest since 2000.  While all income groups were positive about the economy under Trump, lower-income workers were especially buoyant.

Despite the reduction in inequality in such an important facets of life (ranking highest in voter concerns), President Trump Stress Disorder (AKA post-election stress disorder) morphed into TDS.  The leftist wallowing in incongruous doom (a contemporaneous Gallup poll indicated that 69% of Americans saw their finances improving in 2019) undermines their “we’re depressed because we care more” argument.

Their preferred media sources that led them straight off a cliff. Far too many of them are dependent on an "expert" to tell them what is and isn't without the ability to think it through themselves. The more they clicked on the propaganda they liked the more of it the media manufactured to continue the money flow. No evidence or truth required. The lies became so extreme that the facade could not be held together and now it is in the process of collapsing.
