is being a lefty what makes them sick? Or is being sick what makes them a lefty? 

Ahhhh, great question:... what came first; the chicken or the leftard? 

I think that, just like some kids grow up being told to believe everything that they hear in their church, synagogue, mosque, temple, etc, some kids grow up being taught to believe everything that they see on CNN without question. 

If you were completely unable to filter out CNN BS you'd be clinging to life thanks to the help of the precious covid jabs, your dad's F-150 exhaust would be destroying the planet while Leo Di Caprio's jet exhaust and the pollution from his yacht were somehow saving it, M Brown & G Floyd would still just be considered gentle giants who were murdered by racist cops, AR-15s would be the greatest threat to your life, etc, etc. 

Anyone who lives under the umbrella of CNN bullshit is guaranteed to be depressed and stupid.

The question: “Has a doctor or other health provider ever told you that you have a mental health condition?”

A likely explanation is that liberals are more likely to use the services of health care professionals, while conservatives just bury their feelings.  

When was the last time you ever heard of a conservative going to see a Dr to get a prescription for an emotional support goat?

Are you trying to claim that ONLY traditional pets can be emotional support animals?

Most conservatives' goats are their lovers or abuse victims. LMAO

1. Ignorance is bliss.

2. Women in general are more likely to expreience depression, and more women are liberal. Same is true for black Americans.

3. Conservatives with mental health problems are less likely to report it or to seek treatment.

4. The way societies define and portray happiness is often through a material lifestyle more accessible to the upper middle class.

5. Researchers in the mid-1800s found that as industrialization spread to new cities, the suicide rate increased. They hypothesized that it had to do with weakening of traditional social bonds. This traditionalism vs modernity divide is likely what is really being measured in these conservative vs liberal depression comparisons.

Hypothesis is the key. 

 

The wisest thing I heard in the last few years is that we know less and less, as our epistemic foundations are called into question. 

All we can do is work around it or build on it. 

 

What does this particular observation mean? It's an observation. So we can now say.... " Well, they're a liberal so they're probably seeing a shrink".

 

It's fair, even if unkind, to say that. And in saying it, we can reinforce the link between a real empirical study and how to engage with it in day-to-day life

Stupid people and credulous people who believe the sky is falling are depressed.

Conservatives are problem-solvers and workers, not whiners and beggars. 

 

Fact is that if you have mental problems, you're just more likely to get sucked in by CNN's divisive, ridiculous narratives. It's 2024 and you still have leftards who believe that no multi-vaxed Canadians died of covid, and that it's no big del that the FBI committed crimes to run a show trial against the president. It's mind-boggling.

The question:

Here is a list of questions that you can't answer truthfully:

1. Was the covid jab safe?
2. Did people who were vaxed still need to worry about covid? 
3. Did people who were vaxed still need to worry about giving granny covid? 
4. Did young healthy people need the jab?
5. Were Brown and Floyd really "gentle giants who were killed by racist cops", or were they idi0ts who brought about their own demise?
6. Is it a big deal that the FBI committed crimes during the Russian collusion show trial?
7. Is the MSM in North America hopelessly biased to the point of being propagandists?
8. Is the level of social media censorship against conservatives Orwellian?
9. Which American political party is guilty of more fascist-level control over the police, judiciary, MSM, social media, IRS and other institutions?

 It's honestly a very big deal that you will lie in response to every single one of those questions. Like it or not, you have a mental health issue. 

Much worse than the fact that you're a pathological liar is the fact that you live in an alternate reality where: Kamala wasn't the 'border czar', the border was just ducky for the past 4 years, inflation didn't exist but when it suddenly did it was Trump's fault, etc. 

You're certifiable. You shouldn't be allowed to teach children. You have more than 1 actual mental condition.

Makes ZERO sense to conflated "diagnosed" with treatment. AKA, just speculation.

Is it coincidence time again?

I think not:

• Another factor researchers have noted for people who join cults is that these invididuals tend to have psychiatric difficulties, especially within the year before joining. Anxiety disorders are the most common issue, with nearly 52 percent of former cult members reporting having an anxiety disorder. Mood disorders (45.2 percent) and substance abuse disorders (12.9 percent) are also common among cult members.^[2]

Female Demis suffer from mental health disorders at about the same rate as other cultists 😉 There's a good reason the DNC is considered a cult.

It does kind of tie together neatly doesn't it

Correlation doesn’t mean causation. Higher diagnosis rates could come from more people being open to mental health care, not necessarily from political views causing mental illness.

It's a matter of having the education to seek care when needed and the means to do so. 

Delusional conservatives just sit there alone, watching their TVs with reception from the future, dreaming about conspiracies, and spouting hate on the internet. 

That's leftists: Delusional, home and safe spaced, spewing hate on the Internet and fantasizing about the return of Joseph Stalin. 

There isn't one f*cking thing you people stand for that is valuable to this country and its people.

Is it though?

We did this thread of ways back and the pew research isn't the only research out there that points to exactly the same thing

But the question that never did get answered was is being a lefty what makes them sick? Or is being sick what makes them a lefty? Your premise assumes that they were mentally healthy to begin with and liberal ideology and socialism cause them to become depressed. That is possible entirely. The Far left ideology requires that people be angry all the time on behalf of someone else. But I find it equally compelling that they're just angry people and this is an effective outlet

Hard to say. 

My niece died of overdose at 27. Her dad thinks it started with a lesbian college professor spewing all kinds of feminazi bullshit. It wasn't long before my niece was on the journey of questioning her sexuality and illegal substance abuse.

I don't know that anyone suggested that the issue was political ideology causing mental illness. I think the inverse is more likely to be true that people who are mentally ill gravitate towards a certain political philosophy or ideology. In other words for whatever reason left-wing politics appeals to those with mental health issues.

Sadistically if that wasn't true we should see a blend across all political spectrums. Or at least something close, within the same ballpark. But this is extremely one-sided. The difference is very large, and spans all age groups in sexes although to varying degrees.

So while there might not be causation there's certainly appears to be commonality. For whatever reason people who lean to the left are more likely by far to have mental health issues and the younger they are the more true that is
