STUDY: Liberals Are Much More Depressed than Conservatives

Liberals are much more unhappy and depressed that conservatives. 

This should come as no surprise.

If you push killing babies, mutilating children, destroying the economy, and the border, and the country you live in, then you probably are more unhappy than those who don’t.

HARVARD PROFESSOR: HAPPINESS GAP BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT IS NO JOKE

Harvard’s Arthur Brooks dropped some eye-opening stats about mental health and happiness in politics, and let’s just say it’s not looking great for some groups:

Brooks:

“ White liberal women under 30 have almost a 6 in 10 chance of having been diagnosed with a mental illness in America today.

Liberal women have overtaken liberal men as the unhappiest group.”

Meanwhile, “conservative women are particularly blissful,” with 40% saying they’re very happy—putting them ahead of conservative men and leaving liberal women far behind in the joy department.

And liberal men?

Brooks:

“Only about a fifth consider themselves very happy.”

Ouch.

Brooks isn’t saying conservatism is a cure-all, but the data makes one thing clear: not all ideologies are equal when it comes to smiles per capita.
