Great piece! I'd add:
The decline of college entrance standards and classroom standards is also a major factor, it fails to wash away well off nincompoops, and takes to many borderline Lumpenproles (diversity admissions).
The shutdown of forcible mental health hospitalization is another MAJOR factor. The country is full of Whole Foods shoppers who have a weak grasp on reality and competence that would have been committed in the 50s or 60s.
I posted a while back some LA Times (I believe) writer discussing how "Homeless People were just like you and me", in reality, the couple she focused on were well-educated psychologist types who drugged and alcoholed and transgendered their way onto the street.

My friend who used to be a conservative and has turned liberal since becoming a teacher continues to blow my mind.
He constantly complains about life, and his job, how some people have it better than others, and how the school system isn't an equal playing field for all students. He creates some picturesque utopia in his mind, while failing to present any real life solutions on how to get there.
Then he bitches about not wanting to do his job. All while getting paid right now to do nothing. And all he has to do is check in with his 20 students once a week.
He bitched more.
I told him "hard work pays off" which is something he obviously didn't want to do, and that "life's not fair."
These liberal fucktards expect EVERYTHING to be handed to them.

I’ve noticed extreme liberals have major emotional issues. That manifest out in self destructive behavior such as drugs, homosexuality, alcohol, gender issues, psychological disorders beyond human comprehension and other behavior where they hurt themselves and those around them in order to feel something temporarily. The fact they all haven’t shot themselves is a mystery to me frankly.
Those issues aren’t unique to them, but they strongly show there.

Middle Aged women who are active Leftists are nearly %100 cat ladies. Their only husband is the state, and they will defend him against all comers.

Those definitions are biased to a conservative interpretation thereof, not a reflection of how typical liberals define and use them.
socialism (putting the interests of other families above your own), Multiculturalism (placing the interests of other ethnic groups above your own), extreme environmentalism (putting the interests of other species above your own) and anti-natalism (believing that it is morally wrong to breed).

The counseling industry is burgeoning in Corvallis, the liberal mecca of Oregon (where i have friends and family). Anxiety is through the roof, and media reports of Trump's dictocratic tendencies (however specious) find a soft target among soft, anxiety-riddled minds. I have sympathy for these people, for whom nazi camps and slaughterhouses are one executive order away. At the same time, fear, anger, and hate are devastating policy motivators.
I think we all recognize mass media's role in promoting the Trump-as-buffoon-Hitler narrative. Deconsolidate the media, and rescind the 1996 Telecommunications Act that enabled media trusts to form in the first place. It would be a start.

Liberals are really stupid, they are failing to understand reality because they look at it through the lense of identity politics.
They can be easily killed and manipulated as long as you feed them identity politics.

Calling somebody crazy lets them off the hook for being willfully evil. Put agency and responsibility back into the equation. Oh, I forgot, agency and responsibility to LibbyFucks are like holy water and sunlight to vampires.

Basically every sentence in this article is gold. Few highlights:
“ this is how American Liberals see the world—as controlled by Conservative forces—whereas Conservatives feel that they have agency, and can impact the world, and their place in it, if they work hard enough. In other words, Liberals are fatalistic and this makes them depressed. ”
“ extreme left-wing ideas reflect a maladaptive way of seeing the world. Liberalism is associated with ideas such as socialism (putting the interests of other families above your own), Multiculturalism (placing the interests of other ethnic groups above your own), extreme environmentalism (putting the interests of other species above your own) and anti-natalism (believing that it is morally wrong to breed). In terms of passing on your genes, these are maladaptive ways of seeing the world, so we would expect them to correlate with other maladaptive ways of seeing the world, such as depression and the concomitant belief that life is futile and that you may as well kill yourself.”
“ this would be in line with evidence that being left wing and atheistic is associated with mutant genes which would have been washed out under high levels of child mortality and in previous generations due to the strong relationship between mutations of the body (and thus a poor immune system) and mutations of the mind. With the collapse of child mortality, these mental mutations—whether depression or maladaptive ideas—have built up in the population ”
Enlightening!
