Are today's liberal democrats more prone to mental illness?

Recent academic and media reporting shows a recurring pattern: multiple studies and reviews find that self-reported mental-health problems and lower subjective well‑being are more common among people who identify as politically liberal or left-leaning, especially among younger and “extremely liberal” respondents (e.g., a meta-analysis finding a 150% higher rate for extreme liberals versus moderates; large surveys showing conservatives rate their mental health more positively)


I am starting to see something that should concern us all, mental illness, and how it may effect certain people....Today's left is all but completely disengaged from any form of discourse with anyone that doesn't affirm their own views. And for those that they disagree with, that can be a dangerous situation in real life...Why is it that they can't have a simple conversation, or talk about their disagreements without resorting to "losing it"?

What are your thoughts? and what can we do to reverse this trend?
Let's not beat around the bush: TDS is a mental illness. The question is whether its sufferers will recover after he leaves office, or will they remain permanently addicted to the emotional rush it gives them?

The record is clear.

They probably think their entire world will revert to some imaginary utopia after Trump is gone.

Look at how they salivate at his possibly being assassinated and how furious and disappointed they get when an attempt fails.

I think it’s way deeper than that….We’ve brought up our children to not respect authority
Expect instant gratification
Only their opinions are correct
We’ve
Destroyed education
Turned demonization into normalacy
Hate into acceptable behavior
Divided race
And glorified violence

At some point this becomes a re wiring of the thought process

Any mental experts here?
place numbers and facts please.
not just trashing other AMERICANS
JUST BECAUSE they belong to other political party, We have plenty of self serving people on All sides.

Given that 100% of conservatives here believe:

The 2020 election in Michigan was rigged with zero proof of such rigging, The 2020 election in Arizona was rigged with zero proof of such rigging, The 2020 election in Georgia was rigged with zero proof of such rigging, The 2020 election in Wisconsin was rigged with zero proof of such rigging, The 2020 election in Virginia was rigged with zero proof of such rigging,The 2020 election in Pennsylvania was rigged with zero proof of such rigging, that Jade helm was a thing, that Trump’s favorite book is the Bible, that Trump never told a lie, that $5/gallon gas is okay, that a 34X convicted felon for president is a great idea and can’t even admit that he was convicted...mental illness seems to be found in conservatives far more often than liberals. And...also, unlike consevatives...all of the above is easily provable if they examine the posts here on this very board.
