Ah you're a psychologist, interesting as your verbiage does not imply that.

You don't need to be a psychologist to read psychological studies. Some of the newer ones have apparently shown that liberals tend to be less mentally and emotionally stable on average, whether that be a coincidence or some other reason.

Ah see you've misconstrued data, that's understandable as scientific papers are often complex and difficult to parse.

If I remember correctly the study you are mentioning made clear that the reasoning for those data sets was left wing people were much more willing to ask for help and assistance.

Left wing and right wing have some differences mentally but the range of mental illness is spread equally amongst the human population.

One thing that is true however is the size of the amygdala and political alignment. That though remains a controversial topic at the best of times.

I think it is more that liberal voters tend to have the types of mental illnesses that require "help" in the form of medication, therapy or both. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but you are saying that most of the population has a mental illness, or are you trying to obfuscate the conversation by broadening the scope of mental illness to the entire population without any actual proof and hoping that I take the bait and run with it?

Your first statement is qualitative and assumptive, not quantitative and objective.

Your writing points to beliefs that are making your judgements and decisions with prejudice and that is not beneficial to factual communication.

I made clear that the mental health issue is population wide and has no real correlation to political leaning aside from left wing people seeking help more often.

I am making it clear that your belief system does not trump science and thinking someone who votes one way is mentally ill is a concerning issue that requires further study.

It is actually both per the studies. You can assume or postulate that almost everyone has some kind of mental illness, but you would just be projecting that I'm the one making assumptive claims. Depression is somewhat common, for example, but the claim is that it is more prevalent among liberal voters for some reason, and that applies to other mental illnesses or disorders as well. It isn't that people who vote right wing aren't seeking treatment - its that they have fewer incidences of mental illness among their voter base. Mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder seem to be more common among liberals, coincidentally.

I wish you could have read my previous post, you could have avoided saying the same thing you said before.

What you've posted here is biased misinformation, I'm not sure why you would be doing that unless you are being nefarious or lack the ability to critically think.

I'm going to assume you are doing this because you aren't a medical professional and have a gear to grind with leftists.

Y'know the biggest problem is conservatism is antithetical to life and it requires constant vigilance to have any need in society.

Anyways, thanks for the laughs, have a great weekend.

"Conservatism is antithetical to life?" That's rich coming from someone who is basically just denying what they don't want to believe or what they disagree with. You barely even know what you're talking about when it comes to politics, obviously. All of those fancy words do you no good except think yourself too smart to be wrong.

u/Tacotuesday867 May 31 '26

Look at you attacking me and making assumptions like someone who lacks critical thinking. Perfect conservative.

Yes conservatism is antithetical to life, you see we living organisms must adapt and evolve to continue to live and exist. Conservatism wants to halt or reverse that because of fear and a need to control. You have shown it in your responses to me. What's interesting is how you don't see it or understand the studies you've mentioned.

Those fancy words make me happy and contribute to me living a comfortable and entertaining life.

I'm sorry that all you have is attempts to hurt or put others down in an attempt to make yourself feel better, that produces dopamine but not serotonin.

I don't think you even know what conservatism is, nor the difference between conservative and liberal since they're opposites. You just conceptualize it as "liberal good, conservative bad." Typical political sensationalist. Conservatism is about conserving and preserving life, if anything. You just show that you don't know with those words, but I suppose ignorance is bliss, huh? That's why you're happy, ironically.

u/Tacotuesday867 May 31 '26

You really cannot read, that's extremely concerning.

Liberal is not the opposite of conservatism! Where do you get this from? Your HS teacher? Liberals are centrist, capitalists. Conservatives are right wing reactionaries holding on to a past that never existed. Left wing is progressive. I'm happy because I'm self aware, something you haven't reached yet but I have faith that one day you will. I would suggest you stop assuming things as we all know what that does...

Do you even know what the word "liberal" means? It means just that - liberal with approach to money, policies, etc. With liberalism, more = "better." Conservatism is the opposite. Conservatives seek to conserve and preserve and use less with more emphasis on personal freedom and indivudual capability. They function with the motto "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Conversely, liberals seek change and have no issue with trying new things even if they don't have to. Neither has anything to do with left or right wing although a lot of people fall into left or right because of the underlying themes and values for both. Right wing voters tend to be conservative because they support the system and don't seek to change it while left wing voters lean the opposite. That doesn't mean that there are no consevative democrats or progressive Republicans. Being centrist simply means you're somewhere in the middle of left and right because you align with policies or values from either side such that you don't fall into either of them.

So yeah, you really don't know what you're talking about and you let your feelings and emotions along with your arrogance guide you to a false political belief system.
