I’ve always believed that many of the people who are Trumpers have similarities with people who suffer frontal lobe injury: impulsivity, personality changes, impaired judgment, and difficulty with problem solving.

sampling bias? Don't liberals seek treatment more often for mental health issues? I have rightwing family that do not believe mental health issues are real

Conservatives are resentful and angry . Liberals most likely were raised to be empathetic and kind and being happy in a hostile society is depressing . Bottom line is everyone has a choice to be the best version of themselves

My God, you are ugly.

Right wingers wish to continue being that way, so they never come in for a diagnosis. Lefties are probably more self aware and humble.

"showing leftists score higher on internalizing symptoms (depression, anxiety)" is more accurate. Mental illness is a pretty broad umbrella.

America is an 'evolutionary mismatch' that is to say it prioritises market state over the nation state, market logic over evolutionary psychology, biology and natalism. This makes people feel unwell and stressed as market states lack oxytocin, market state USA makes Americans compete with themselves internally rather than cooperate for the common good, that's why which ever ethnic group enters America they die out, bar high IQ groups who can exploit market logic much more easily. Math brains tend to do well in USA, finance, tech. The rest relatively degrade and die out, so immigrants need to be imported.

Sadistic? Where did you come up with that? He just wins too much and you don't like it.
