Give your kids a hug every day and put them in timeout when they deserve it. You just might save their life

        I read it. Yeah no kidding, conservatives don’t take their kids for treatment for mental health problems. I’m sure their kids are a lot less stressed, too, they live in a world full of hope where the impending climate catastrophe is just a liberal hoax and where mass political violence is seen as a good thing. They are morons. They are ignorant, of course they are happy, they don’t have to face their problems because they are so gullible they don’t realize there is one.

        Just another thing to make liberals sad, is how dumb conservatives and their idiot kids are.

            Nah it’s really just that conservatives are morons, too stupid to see how fucked things are. They are born asleep and they die asleep, living their entire life bouncing from one distraction to the next, a scapegoat for every problem, never a moment of self reflection or real compassion for others.

            I’d be much happier too if I could just outsource all the blame for my problems onto immigrants or trans people or something, absolve myself of any personal flaws no matter what I get myself into, but again, I’m not a moron, so sometimes I have anxiety.

            These people thought COVID was a hoax, you want them to self report whether their kids have mental health problems? I bet also that none of them report their kids are gay or trans. Ignorant.

            Some of these people that don’t even realize thier own mental illness think Donald Trump won the election in 2016; can’t really trust insane cult members to credibly diagnose their kids mental illnesses.

    Something springs to mind about correlation… some kind of saying…

    Regardless, I don’t think polling people is a good way to determine mental health outcomes.

    I know this is anecdotal but I have met/ known a few preachers daughters and other kids from church that don’t fit that profile at all.

    And is there any study on the long term effects? Again anecdotal, but Patti Davis married and divorced a yoga instructor and became a pot-smoking vegetarian. I wonder very much what Ron and Nancy, well mostly Nancy since Ron had dementia, I wonder what Nancy thought of that. And Michael Reagan had a lot of trouble with the law. But I suppose they were happy children, so they had that going for them, which is nice.

      That, and there needs to be a control for family wealth, which is tied to political affiliation.

      If you’re from a poor family, you’re gonna have a lot more stress in your life, which will impact parententing style and children’s happiness. You’re not going to be happy when you don’t know if you’re having dinner that night.
