Have you considered that the mentally ill are treated like shit by right leaning people hence they deconstruct the abuse and learn a thing or two about the abuse and it’s causes in addition to naturally gravitating to people who are more compassionate? Have you considered that scapegoating is causing mental illness in the first place? Sure, it’s not an inherent trait of right political views, it is, however, a trait of the majority of republicans in the us. In addition to that have you considered the stigma around mental health, perpetuated by the republicans, that forces people to not seek psychological help and consider all struggles “normal” and “everyone experiences/feels that”?
No I’m not. I’m mad that people think mental illness happens just because and I’m mad that people stigmatize it and everything related to different neurological development/traits. I absolutely despise that shit. What I also hate is when people equate correlation to causation. I also hate when people ignore my points and decide to treat facts in the newly added to the conversation context like opinions while hypocritically telling the other person “you’re just mad at the facts”
Ok. So I’ve read the article and it says the data was gathered as a selfreport survey. That means there are indeed more possible explanations of the results. It could mean liberals have more problems with mental health or that the conservatives have more problems with reporting their mental health problems. To resolve this issue, it would be necesary to assess the participants’ health with some independent, more objective method.
Yes, exactly, even though that is not exactly realistic or it would take a long time. Figuring out the reasons behind increased mental illness reports in the assessments would require the participants to get therapy or report information about their therapy, and in both cases it would require the participants to give the researchers sensitive information about their life. But you can look up how stigma around mental health affects people and their relationships and then look at the group of people who perpetuate the stigma the most. Then you can look up why historically certain groups of people were marginalized and why scapegoating happened and who weaponized it

“Take it up with academia” while you’re the one here misinterpreting the research. Great job.
