And boy with the middle name curse I get your obnoxious first grade sarcasm... that's in no way you're comment about myself genius it's a comment about your constant need to cut others down. Enjoy this post, it applies

Validity wanes when people are asked to self report mental and emotional well being. Too many internal factors come into play.

‘The study found that conservatives rate themselves higher on personality and attitude measures like religiosity, marital status and patriotism, all of which are associated with better mental health.
Yet when researchers substituted the term "overall mood" for "mental health" in survey questions, the ideological gap disappeared.
This discrepancy may be explained by conservatives' greater discomfort with the term "mental health," which has become politicized and stigmatized in right-leaning circles.
"I would say that the main reason we may see this is because conservatives tend to take on more masculine traits, valuing things like toughness and seeing weakness in people who need help," Schaffner said.
He added a reference to the article: "Many mental illnesses often are stereotyped asdangerous, unpredictable, indicative of bad character, or a sign of personal weakness.
"Under a conservative ideology that emphasizes stability, security and personal agency, the thought of mental illness may invite thoughts of the unknown, or appear as a threat to their security."

It’s why the shoulder pads, extra long tie, snapping the suit jacket and pushing people out of the way appeals to his base.

Did you catch COOTWH’s response to the video of Macron’s wife pushing him at the airplane door? COOTWH’s advice? “Keep the door closed.”

You realize he is joking, right? (My preference is he doesn’t joke like that, but it’s not important here). The point of silvers research is to try to determine why democrats have lost votes with every demographic, which is unusual in these polarizing times where the huge majority of voters stay in their silos.

All the replies above make light of silver trying to peer into the worst 2024 demo, the manosphere. Glad to see so may here think their losing so many voters is funny.

Unfortunately, “your body, my choice” has resonance and appeal in ‘Murica of the 21st century. As do shirts like this.

This whole idea from magats that anyone would be pissed off that you are:

Christian: Majority of dems are christian/religious
White: Majority of dems are white
Straight: Majority of dems are "straight"
Republican: Yeah that's stupid
Unvaxxed: Also stupid but to each their own
Gun owner: Who cares...lots of dems own guns, I own one
Meat Eater: Majority of dems eat meat

Just stupid

The entire MAGA movement is built on victimhood, which is the ultimate irony considering the history of our country. (they don't love the uneducated for nothing, folks).

The ignorance is just amazing. It's like when I comment on posts by NYT or CNN and magats reply to me about how I should get a job and move out of my parents basement, etc.

I love the claim “religiosity, marital status, and patriotism, all of which are associated with better mental health”.

Interesting how that doesn’t bear out in the real world outside of the US. I simply can’t reconcile the angry white male who wears tshirts like the one above as having superior mental health over even a gnat.

Where was that claim? I must have missed it. I will say that I would agree that a HAPPY marriage would certainly be connected to better mental health. Or any happy partnership. I think humans need companions naturally.

a happy marriage, of course. But it didn’t specify that. Just if you were married at all, which, judging by today’s divorce rate, is fucking laughable.

yes, what about the children?

What about them? Back to the cages they go.

From CNN:

Trump administration takes hundreds of migrant children out of their homes, into government custody

The Trump administration is taking hundreds of migrant children already residing in the United States out of their homes and into government custody, at times separating them from their families and making it more difficult for them to be released, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

President Donald Trump and his top aides have repeatedly cited the influx of children who arrived at the US southern border under the Biden administration without a parent or guardian as a critique of his predecessor and his handling of border security. Trump officials argue that hundreds of thousands of those children went unaccounted for — and are in potentially dangerous situations.

While former Biden officials contend that the surge of kids in 2021 placed tremendous pressure on the federal system, they and several experts in the field refute claims that there are large numbers of children missing from the system.

Still, the notion that there are thousands of such children has served as the impetus for a major campaign by the Trump administration to set up a makeshift “war room” to pore over sensitive data and deploy federal authorities to children’s homes nationwide.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has taken around 500 children into government custody following so-called welfare checks since Trump returned to the White House, according to three sources familiar with the matter, either because their situations were deemed unsafe or because of immigration enforcement actions against sponsors, the majority of whom are the kids’ parents or other family members. That number is more than previously known and an unprecedented departure from previous years when such occurrences were rare.

The FBI has been involved in some of the welfare checks, frustrating some at the bureau who expressed concerns that the effort is more targeted at finding children’s relatives who law enforcement otherwise has no pretext to investigate or arrest, according to a law enforcement official.

An FBI spokesperson confirmed in a statement that the agency is assisting other agencies in conducting welfare checks on migrant children. “Protecting children is a critical mission for the FBI and we will continue to work with our federal, state, and local partners to secure their safety and well-being,” the spokesperson said.

Wait, she decided to write a book and call it Independent, and then today announce she is leaving the party? Genius self-promotion. I can't wait to spend every evening reading her Jack Handy level thoughts on the topic.

Actually pretty clever by old man Chuck. I had a little laugh.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) on Wednesday jabbed at President Donald Trump’s tax and immigration package formally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, calling the sweeping legislation the “Well, We’re All Going to Die Act."

The renaming references remarks by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) at a town hall last week at which she shocked constituents who voiced their concerns about the bill’s effects on Medicaid coverage and responded to attendees, “Well, we all are going to die, for heaven’s sakes, folks.”

Now in fairness to arguments made here, we should be careful about this. Obviously Chuck Schumer is taunting Trump and he may decide to kill us all because we are teasing him, so I'm not sure if Chuck learned the lessons that Lerx is teaching.

They are losing men because one party says ‘men be better and step up’ and the other is saying, ‘hey be your unrestrained self and do/say what you want’ and then prove that being leading by that same example.

Like, how do you combat that?

By offering voters something they might appeal to them? The problem is democrats are inside this bubble. The first few other replies, picture of an older R voter with their gun toting anti vaxxer. The exact opposite of what Silvers point was, and something about a boxer…. Dems are not appealing to a large segment of voters, but it possibly can’t be their fault?
