No surprise there. Most leftist youths I know are miserable beings, always raging against what they deem as the latest "injustice." That's enough to do a number on anyone.

From conservative perspective, thinking 24/7 about fraud elections, white replacement, illegal immigrants taking over the country etc. must be pretty straining as well.

This certainly reflects my personal experience, in which I have never encountered a content, well adjusted lib.
One can only vent and embrace so much anger before it begins to erode one's soul and causes one to review the world in a negative, hostile fashion. For that reason, I have always told my children to avoid dating liberals, as they tend to be negative people and such sentiments are infectious.
Liberalism- the language of dysphoria and despair!
Read your link, it gives one of the best descriptions of the Trump Presidency I have seen "deeply polarizing the nation through erratic leadership". It goes on to say "Liberalism in the US signals support of equal opportunity, free but semi-regulated markets, civil liberties, and social justice. Conservatism in the US signals support of individual liberty, right-wing social and religious values, and unregulated free markets."
Pretty good descriptions but nothing reflects the bolded above unless its one of the 50 links imbedded, and your definition of Liberalism is just that your your definition.
Your line "One can only vent and embrace so much anger before it begins to erode one's soul and causes one to review the world in a negative, hostile fashion." seems like a great description of the MAGA ideology as that and your other comments show nothing but negativity for anyone who doesn't think like you do.
Warn your kids i'm sure you wouldn''t want them to think and act for themselves....

Liberals are overly emotional about everything and they have been taught to have no self control regarding their feelings. They also take no responsibility for their own actions and reactions. No wonder they end up depressed. I also feel like more of them are looking for shock value from peers and others. They have an external locus of control and little internal depth to counteract it.
Difference is due to economic disparity between two classes. Conservatives come from wealthier families on average..
Honestly don’t know why people generalize like this. I live in a rural area that is conservative and poorer than most large metros. The wealthy liberals pull the strings in the big cities.

Funny thing is I don't know any conservative who gives overwhelming thought and attention to such; sure they are passionate about the situation when it comes up, but they are not, in my experience, focused on the issues in a mental way the same way that leftists focus on the issues they are. Meanwhile I've come across multiple leftists who actually cry about the "mental anguish" they are facing over supposed threats to the country and their subsequent efforts to "fight back" against it.
I recall during the heat of the pandemic when some leftist acquaintances of mine were lamenting how much their mental health had suffered after consciously choosing to eat dinner alone and to isolate with zero real human interaction for over a year. These were people with zero preexisting conditions/comorbidities, mind you. This contrasted with the restaurant scenes in Florida and other conservative states where people remained out and about, freely interacting with loved ones. It was truly fascinating to see.
Also, funny thing you mention replacement theory, as this was first championed by leftists, who claimed (with glee) that minority voters overtaking white voters would mean doom for the Republican Party. Now when some on the right bring up the point, they are the racists

I don’t think a ton of people here are MAGA. I can’t speak for the OP, but there have been many speaking against wanting Trump to run again. Can’t say the same about the liberals here…they seem to approve of the potato. Trends in real life seem to point to the same. Again, liberals take no response for bad choices and even double down on them.
Sure you did. The conservatives were the kids on sports teams and student organizations. The liberals were the rejects with nose rings.
All I know is that I had to look up the terms when I was filling out the ACT registration as a 16-year-old senior because the questionnaire asked my views. I had never thought about it until that moment.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a progressive who wasn’t an angry, annoying, busybody. I’m not at all surprised they have higher rates of depression.
