The fact that conservatives are happier than liberals has been so conclusively proven in research and so often discussed that it wouldn’t feel like breaking any new ground to even write about it. However, this outstanding piece by Musa al-Gharbi (Hat tip to Ann Coulter for the article) touches on the subject in the process of speculating about the enormous gap between conservatives and liberals in mental health. What we’re going to do is cover some particularly relevant portions of that article while adding some comments here. It’s really a great piece and it’s worth your time to read the whole thing:

Liberal girls tended to be significantly more depressed than boys, particularly after 2011. However, ideological differences swamped gender differences. Indeed, liberal boys were significantly more likely to report depression than conservatives of either gender. The authors also found that the more educated a teen’s family was, the more likely the young people were to be depressed, and the more dramatic their rise in depression was after 2012.

...Why is it that liberal teens are more consistently depressed than conservatives? Why might familial education correlate with heightened depression for liberal youth? Why was there a spike in depression (and a growing ideological divergence in depressive affect) after 2011, corresponding with the onset of the “Great Awokening”?

First of all, what al-Gharbi refers to as the “Great Awokening” was a dramatic increase in mental illness, woke politics, and behavioral changes that occurred at colleges across the country that was most likely driven by the digital syphilis that is social media. Social media has had an extraordinarily negative effect on American society and as I’ve said before, you could make a really good case for banning social media for the same reasons we ban meth and over-the-counter landmines. From here, al-Gharbi goes on to discuss some of the extensive research showing that conservatives are happier than liberals (click over to his article if you want to see the citations):

The amount of legwork to find the right narrative here is entertaining. "Culturcidal" Website. Too funny.

The author's big achievement is raising $600k for Brett Kavanough.....lol.....

Did you contribute?

Dear Lord I had to go through three websites to find the actual study

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666560321000438

As is the usual with right leaning bullshit, they spun this one hard.

The conclusion is entertaining..

Taken together, political beliefs are likely one of many important factors influencing recent trends in adolescent internalizing symptoms that warrant further investigation.

The funding is entertaining...

This work was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (R01-DA048853). The Funder/Sponsor had no role in the conception, design, or execution of the study.

You're an election denier with a fecal fetish.

How much more fucked up can you get than that?

Man, you're good for at least one laugh a day. Thank you.

What mental illness causes mass shootings? Must not be the same one.

 

[PaxNurgle]

When a country strips women of their rights they had taken for granted for generations, of course women will be depressed.

If the courts one day decided that private ownership of all guns was illegal and the military was now authorized to go house to house and put 2nd-amendment loving gun owners in jail- I bet conservatives would be depressed too.

So "Woke politics" are making people depressed huh? Maybe if more people would just join the Klan, go find some gays/minorities to beat up, and go around yelling racial slurs at people they wouldn't be as unhappy. Perfect solution (Sarcasm.)

Fuck, is it just me or does that idiot O.P. get more and more hateful and less intelligent each time he posts?

Where's Sean, Rob, LazyLit, Algo, and Zipper?

liberals are more honest, as your thread proves. good job

 

[Sean Renaud]

Oh you missed me because I put in extra hours at work. Love you to Right!

Anyway the data just doesn't bear out the bullshit of the article. We aren't super high on the happiness index assuming we stick to the Industrial World which is usually what people mean when they talk about "The world" America is VERY conservative by that metric. So clearly conservatism causes mental illness.

Bet you if we look state by state we'd get similar results.

More importantly here your article says that Liberals are more likely to report depression. That falls in line with honesty and strength. Libs want you to get the help you need, mental health, job security so on and so forth. Conservatives and you see the posts and content on here all the time about how terrified the Right is about men wanting to dress up. I was here when My Little Pony went big and Fox was dedicating entire segments to men watch a cartoon.

So its not really surprising that the team who believes that mental health is important, that happiness and security are important would be more likely to report issues.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Where's Sean, Rob, LazyLit, Algo, and Zipper?

Damn, dude.

Maybe they have lives? Maybe this bullshit is boring and inconsequential to respond to?

If you have to whine to make peeps respond to your thread, it's over. Take your L and move on already.

 

[YDB95]

Fuck, is it just me or does that idiot O.P. get more and more hateful and less intelligent each time he posts?

You wouldn't think that was even possible if we didn't see it every day, huh?

 

[adrina]

Ironically if there is evidence of mental disorder I'd say the OCD attempts at owning the libs and hating half or more of your fellow citizens qualifies as something that should be examined.

The neverending hysteria doesn't help either.

The demographics here at lit seem to support the study.

Yeah, you and your bros look totally stable while creating vanity threads for people who hurt your feelings on the internet while supporting insurrectionist traitors.

You tried.

Truthfully.

Truthfully.

You and Ch0de will be dead soon enough

Can you translate that from "I'm all fucked up" into regular English? Just wonderin'.

 

[Bray123]

'I'm all fucked up' is the other side of the coin to 'I'm all wanked out'.

 

[PaxNurgle]

The demographics here at lit seem to support the study.

Well, if five or six different accounts are all linked to the same person (AHEM....) then the demographics are obviously skewed.

We just need Butters and Ill Seventy Four to create a whole army of alternate screen names to skew it even more.

Right, Mr. Arpy, or is it "Icanthelp" today?

 

[Rightguide]

'I'm all fucked up' is the other side of the coin to 'I'm all wanked out'.

I understand your dilemma but could you translate that into English as well?

 

[Bray123]

I understand your dilemma but could you translate that into English as well?

I'm a native English speaker, perhaps you intended to write 'could you translate that into American'. That would be 'I'm totally messed up' changed to 'I'm exhausted.'

The only thing that has been exhausted here is your intellectual bona fides
