Is liberalism a mental disorder, as is often said? There is a great deal of social science research showing that conservatives are happier than liberals, enjoy better mental health than liberals, are more involved in their communities than liberals, are more philanthropic than liberals, and so on.
Probably more important, though, is that conservatives are more likely to have children, and to have more children, than liberals. Since the future belongs to those who have children, this is a vitally important fact.
In the last few days, several prominent liberals have reinforced the point. First we have Michigan State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky, who had herself sterilized because Donald Trump won the 2024 election:
A liberal Michigan state representative revealed Wednesday that she underwent a sterilization surgery that would prevent her from getting pregnant now that President Trump is back in the White House.

“Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,” [Rep. Laurie Pohutsky, 36] said, according to the Michigan Advance.“I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate.”
In fact, Donald Trump is the most pro-woman president ever:
But I guess libs didn’t get the message.
Then we have David Hogg, the kid who made a career out of attending Parkland High School in Florida and is now the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. Hogg is what is commonly described as a twerp. In a message that no doubt broke female hearts across America, he renounced any desire to have children:
Like me? I’m never planning on having kids. I would much rather own a Porsche and have a Portuguese water dog and golden doodle. Long term it’s cheaper, better for The environment and will never tell you that it hates you or ask you to pay for college.

Classic 21st century liberalism: I’d rather have a Porsche and a Portuguese water dog (whatever that is) than children. David, we are 100% behind you in that decision.
Then there is “comedian” Kathy Griffin, who might at some point in her life have said something funny, but if so, I missed it. She is best remembered for holding up a severed, bloody head of Donald Trump. All in good fun, of course. Comedy. This is from the far-left BlueSky platform:
Controversial take. It’s probably not the most prudent thing for us to continue to have babies at all on this planet. Not talking about anything that should ever be enforced that would prohibit having babies, just don’t see how the planet we have left them is sustainable for them. 💔

Liberals–not all of them, maybe, but a great many–are unhappy people, often disturbed, who suffer from self-destructive urges. That wouldn’t be so bad, if they didn’t try to take the rest of us down with them. Trump Derangement Syndrome truly is a form of mental illness:
Where the rubber hits the road is the next generation. And, happily, there will be a lot more of us than there are of them.
