You’d be depressed too if someone was always telling you that you were a victim and had no control over your life.

It looks like the rates of liberals spiked after 2010, but it's definitely gone up for conservatives too.

welfare state mentality, irresponsibility and victimhood - leftist driven poison

right is self reliance / left is government dependency As the government is now much worse and getting worse year-by-year, is more corrupt, stealing more and more money, the ones dependent on it will not feel good
