not at all surprised. (note: this article came up fine on my tablet but not on my desktop–it hated my desktop ad blocker!)
And that is hardly a surprise. For Leftists, there are no real human relationships in political arenas (and almost everything is political). There are only the benighted people with whom you disagree and “smart” people with whom you (naturally) agree.
But there are no loved ones–no companions through thick and thin. And without that, human existence can become rather meaningless. And one of the main casualties of Left in general is the loss of close human relationships and the life meaning they bring. Kids rat out their parents. Friends refuse to be friends with you any longer because you are not sufficiently Leftist. People hang on every political development as if it were critically and crucially important.
In short, there are no real human interactions in Leftism, only instrumental “deals.“ It’s all instrumental at best. Welcome to the Lefty pleasure dome! It is a place bereft of meaning and relationships and human kindness. It focuses almost exclusively on ephemeral self-gratification and raw sensation.
No wonder liberal women are often depressed!
But while many conservative women (and men) face some of these same issues, when they flail and are sinking they frantically reach out and feel… Christ’s hand. And suddenly, while life is still hard, it is not bleak and meaningless.
