There's a New Poll Reporting Mental Illness by Political Party, and You're Going to Love It

Wackadoodle. Nuts. Kookoo for Cocoa Puffs. Daffy. Bat-guano crazy. Half a bubble off plumb. Several fries short of a Happy Meal. However you word it, there are always those among us with mental health issues, and sadly (but not surprisingly), a lot of these people pay attention to politics.

Now, once again, we see that a lot of them are Democrats, much more so than those who are Republicans. That’s right: Far more Democrats are far more likely to “identify” as mentally ill than Republicans.

Suprised? I’m not. Neither is the Issues & Insights editorial board.

Democrat Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, an ideal representative for the lunatic constituency, said last week that Donald Trump supporters are mentally ill. Has she looked at the party she is willingly a member of? Or even herself? No, because if she did, she’d realize that it’s her side that is not well.

There are a number of patients who need to be seen, certainly millions, but first, we’ll check in with James Carville. While he’s no longer the Democratic Party’s hottest shot, and doesn’t have the influence he once had as Bill Clinton’s main hack, he’s still emblematic of the left’s descent into madness. Consider his most recent tirade, in which he comes off as deranged.

Carville has also claimed in just this year that Trump hates his voters and wants them to suffer; has said that companies that are “sucking up” to Trump remind him of Nazi collaborators; and predicted in February that the Trump administration would collapse in 30 days.

Carville is far from the worst in this regard; if there’s a “nuts” scale of 1-10, Carville is about at 6, whereas Jasmine Crockett’s score requires scientific notation. And, it’s not just the political operatives and elected officials that are on the “nuts” spectrum. A high percentage of Democrats are varying degrees of crazy, by their own admission.

Nine in 10 conservatives self-report their mental health to be excellent (51%) or very good (39%). Those who consider themselves liberals are struggling, with only 20% saying their mental health is excellent and 26% believing it is very good.

Only 19% of conservatives say their mental health is poor, while 45% of liberals say they have poor mental health.

This is not a new development related to Trump returning to the White House. A decade ago, University of Toronto researchers looked at a history of academic literature suggesting “that conservatives in the United States are happier than liberals” through the lens of neuroticism. They found that conservatives are more emotionally stable than liberals.

“It is understandable,” they said, “that the happiness differential between liberals and conservatives can be largely accounted for by differences in their mean levels of emotional stability.”

Republicans are happier and more stable than Democrats. Who didn’t see that coming?
