Oh and P.S. I guess what this also shows us..... Is that conservatives will take for face value anything that might support thier ideology without doing any in depth research of thier own, to figure out how anybody came to that conclusion and then run with that data....
Just throwing that out there....LOL
Funny how you take one word Study and then build a false narrative around it in that the Pew research of the data must be in error or not valid...it clearly was pointed out in the article that it was possible but not definitive that Liberals might self report more....although there is Zero evidence that is the case. Just pure guess work.
Also then to come forth with the Old Orange man Cult argument that is not supported by any research data or even self reported polls sort of reeks of a pure emotional response and 100% biased based..really just because people voted for Trump they are now mentally ill that is your non-fact related view point.
To address you opinion. A lot of Trump voters including myself thought Trump was a arrogant clown about 85% of the time but he was the best of the two candidates. And in truth the point you are making has Zero to do with the point that the Pew research was making.....
The research was pointing out that the liberal view point skews people to feel victimized and to see others as victimized as well ,this coupled with the Much higher rate of White Guilt and Savior complex leads to a higher rate of depression and other mental issues.....In other research from a Skeptic.com survey it was found that American's that identify as Liberal or very Liberal believed that 1,000 UNARMED black men where murdered by the Police in 2019 The reality only 12 unarmed black men where killed by the police.....
Clearly this and other research has nothing to do with Voting Trump or Biden. But nice bait and Switch of the OP. It's about why those who identify as liberal's have higher rates of anxiety, depression, self doubt, and other negative feelings.
Also as I stated before I work in the Mental Health field, on a Psychiatric Unit. So I know full well the in's and outs of Mental health care the demographic that we treat it's benefits and it's shortcomings .
I can also tell you this that 7 out of 10 mental health care workers skew Left. But even they will freely admit that it was crazy how many Adult patients came in depressed and suicidal over 4 more years of Trump this past NOV. the PIT team was drove crazy with admissions that week .....not one patient was admitted for the fear of Bidens possible Elections.
The research/study of the survey data said Liberals have a higher rate of Neuroticism than conservatives. And they self report less happiness and life satisfaction. And that is was very possible that the Liberal/Leftist view point might very well appeal to those who are emotionally fragile. This is all interesting and worthy of diving into IMO. Maybe it isn't to you.
Not sure why you seemed a bit upset over the research or study of the data and the posting of it....I always deemed you a moderate so clearly this research doesn't apply. So the whole smear on all Trump supporters being a Cult and Mentally ill to diminish and gloss over the real world data of mental illness of a lot of White Liberals is strange to say the least.
