What is it about left-liberal politics that drives adherents to invent a fantasy of the gloomy leftist?

What is it about left-liberalism that requires nurture by the fantasy that left politics are a simple expression of personality?

Why do left liberals cling to the fantasy that political principles cannot be separated from the inner being of the person who holds them?

What psychological or political comfort do left liberals extract from holding these fantasies as a matter of faith?
