    This is an opinion on an opinion on a Twitter feed from 2020…

    key message… liberal woman are more likely to report having been diagnosed.

    What is not described is that liberal woman may be more likely to actually go to a doctor. :rolleyes:

    PSA for those who want to go to the actual source of the Twitter feed:

    Another irresponsible, inflammatory, DISHONEST subject line from this guy. He turns "more likely to seek mental evaluations" into "more likely to be criminally insane".

    BLOCKED!!!

    Right-wing extremists are clearly more violent. But they apparently fail to seek mental health evaluations to address their violent tendencies.

    Of course you didn't. The OP just LIED about the content. He's just one of many on his side to do so. But, I don't have to read his garbage.

    These threads from both sides are nothing more than mouth breathing Neanderthal low iq attempts to insult the other side? Why? It’s silly. It’s ridiculous. It accomplished nothing but pot stirring. Maybe one day we (this board) will evolve enough to have meaningful discussions and debates tinged with intelligence and reason. Until then I guess we can all look forward to a poll about liberals being more likely to suck eggs and a poll about republicans being more likely to steal eggs…

    You're not wrong. But I'm looking at this somewhat differently. No mudslinging but just me speculating a bit in a detached way...

    IIRC, multiple psych studies (not just recently) have found that liberals tend to score higher on neuroticism than conservatives; neuroticism being one of the Big 5 personality traits and associated with mental illness such as depression.

    But if there is also some truth to conservatives being more likely than liberals to believe lies (and to report being happier & more religious), it has me thinking how these differences in tendencies between groups might explain each other?

    Higher on neuroticism=Tendency to be...
    more liberal, less religious, and less happy but less likely to believe lies

    Lower on neuroticism=Tendency to be
    more conservative, more religious, and happier, but more likely to believe lies

    ...and vice versa

    Disclaimer: I'm treating these competing ideas or tendencies as having some validity--not stating them as facts or absolute.

    From the article:
    No mention of criminality anywhere in the article. OP's thread title is a lie.

    From the article…
    According to Pew’s research white liberals/Democrats are much more likely than their conservative/Republican peers to have been diagnosed with one or more mental conditions. If you’re likely to have a mental condition, you’re likely to commit crimes.
    It’s not a surprise at all.
