What Percentage of USMB Posters are Mentally and Emotionally Well?

[Independent thinker]

Agree. I think for some people, they come here because they aren't well and need to vent their spleen, and then staying here just ends in more unwellness. Sadly

This is one of the only places those with TDS can vent. They're not getting anywhere in the real world. It makes them feel better. It's a kind of therapy.

By now their brains are rewired to be this way permanently, like chronic depression. Only this is chronic rage. It is going to be hard for the leftist machine to get these leftists to just turn off their rage for Trump and redirect it to the next Emmanuel Goldstein in 2028. Even if the next POTUS is Vance, I think these leftists are still going to continue hating Trump long after he is dead and buried. Probably for the rest of THEIR lives. If they develop VDS in combination with TDS it will be seriously debilitating. TVDS Rage Zombies?

I was thinking about this recently: as the title asks, what percentage of posters here are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well? To extrapolate: balanced, competent, productive, engaged, and at least reasonably happy?

For me, I thought about 30% of posters overall fit the last description.

Of course--and data bears this out--the number of liberals here skew those results. Meaning, more conservative posters seem reasonably mentally well to me and much fewer liberal posters. To the point that if you can engage with a liberal poster of sound mind it's a rare treat.

Try not to name names because I would love to keep this in General Discussion. Thoughts?

It's all in the eyes of the beholder. Any group that worships tax evaders, racists, dictators, felons, irresponsible spenders of our tax dollars, rude politicians and think a woman does not have the right to choice may not indicate a sound mind.

The more anger one expresses the more angry they become. Venting is a myth. Anger is negatively reinforced

Poor things.

They'll be feeling better when President Trump's priorities will enable us to finish building those mental institutions, and they'll finally get those nice warm beds and three meals a day and all the psych meds they can get, without having to work for any of it.

Incredible idea. Many of them will probably demand organic -- I see them at the organic stores where I shop all the time, in their masks.

Liberals are generally more accepting than so called conservatives. Conservatives often appear full of dread as if some thing bad is happening - like children are afraid of the dark. The problem for me is the words don't mean anything as I/we and family live what should be called conservative or maybe traditional / American. Is Trump conservative given his marriages, cheating, and constant lying? Some online here think so. Why, makes no sense. Each tribe thinks their tribe has the answer but neither do completely. They end up being just words, name calling like children. How you live matters not what you say.

Lets compare the BIdens
Both brothers alcoholics

Joe senile violates childrens boundaries bites a babys foot
Hunter drug addict felon and tax evader degenerate
Ashley Biden drug and sex addict stated in her diary Joe took showers with her
The Bidens are a white trash a famiy we expect to see on the Jerry Springer Show

You're kidding, right? Liberals have pretty much isolated themselves because they never agree with anyone, even other liberals, and can't associate with anyone they don't agree with, especially politically. Liberals are Karens. No one likes them and they hate everyone and everything.

Liberals at the Democrat underground site won't accommodate moderate liberals or liberals who don't join their hateful rhetoric. That is not toleration,

I'd say that the silent majority isn't well represented on a public platform for the reasons your post outlines. And because they're silent.

I worked my ass off since I was 14. Now I'm in a Nursing home getting 3 "real" meals a day fast internet and direct tv but I can't get out of bed on my on. Oh and I no longer have to get up every hour to pee due to a catheter.

It sucks. My life is now all about eating and pooping.


I literally meant it when I said I will no longer be making the future. It's up to the young ones now.

Remember, if you're a good person, the good people here are on your side. Hang in.

“The people who agree with my political views seem mentally well. The people who don’t agree with me are clearly not mentally well.”

Here is an article:

Conservatives report better mental health than liberals. I think I know why. | Opinion

Whether it's outrage over Supreme Court decisions or protests over President Donald Trump's enforcement of immigration laws, liberals are angry.

www.usatoday.com

It states:

On June 18, statistician and political analyst Nate Silver presented a detailed analysis of the 2022 Cooperative Election Study, which surveyed 60,000 Americans. Silver concluded that the survey shows that conservatives outnumber liberals 51% to 20% among people who report excellent mental health. And liberals outnumber conservatives 45% to 19% among voters who say they have poor mental health.

and later on....

The research raises an important question about correlation and causation: Am I happier because I'm a conservative, or am I a conservative because I'm happier?

Social psychologist Jaime Napier has looked into that question. Her answer: "One of the biggest correlates with happiness in our surveys was the belief of a meritocracy, which is the belief that anybody who works hard can make it. That was the biggest predictor of happiness. That was also one of the biggest predictors of political ideology. So, the conservatives were much higher on these meritocratic beliefs than liberals were."

Now, I have lots of commentary on the subject in general (primarily associated with the left wing victim mentality (I use the term mentality....which assumes a brain....soooooo), but this was just something I've found.

with well founded criticism:

Because you said so????

Hmmmm.......

You are a winner....in your tiny little mind.

And how did you reach that conclusion?
