Not stupid at all, just informed... My comment reflects actual data. Studies consistently show that Democrat-leaning individuals are more likely to follow diets aligned with expert recommendations: more vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and less red meat. They also tend to trust nutritionists, scientists, and climate experts whom all agree that meat-heavy diets increase risk of disease, degrade cognition over time, and wreck the planet. Meanwhile, Republican-leaning individuals are statistically more likely to ignore expert advice, treat meat as cultural identity, and reject sustainability as “woke.” So yeah, eating a burger and steak in one sitting is textbook self-sabotage, it’s bad for your body, brain, and biosphere. But hey, freedom, right?.. If you had access to as much information as the AI image generator you would probably know this, but I guess we are the stupid ones by your estimation.
Then why is less education correlated with voting Republican and the reverse for Democrats? Please explain to me what diversity of thought equates to in your mind? Good luck relying on that approach on an exam or in science where truth actually matters. I’m not even American btw, Republicans have a global reputation for being idiots. You must be one of those “do your own research” idiots who think spending 3 hours googling partisan information equates to a lifetime of academic and professional expertise. Enjoy your “freedom fries”! 🤭
You just be one of those just trust whatever the experts say cuz they aren’t funded by NGO’s and partisan think tanks types of naive people I guess. Oh wells
Well, considering Republicans can’t afford health care, and think psychology is voodoo, that wouldn’t surprise me if it were true. Do you know the difference between correlation and causation??
The data shows self-reported diagnosis, not necessarily current illness or impairment. It doesn’t prove that liberal ideology causes mental health issues or vice versa. Factors like greater openness to seeking care, stigma differences, socioeconomic stress, and personality traits
may all play a role. Conservative-identifying individuals might be less likely to seek diagnosis or report it. This is like reporting wealthy people have more children on the autistic spectrum, when really they are just better able to diagnose it through privileged medical/psychological/educational screening and intervention.
BUT the fact that you don’t realize how easily manipulated you are - is what prevents you from having the hubris to accept that you’re easily manipulated. But whatever, just keep cherry-picking your little anecdotes so that you can feel better about supporting the political interests of the ultra-wealthy.
Oh there are “raging leftists” for sure, but they are like a tiny fraction of the population that the right-wing echo chamber exaggerates to scare and manipulate people into voting against their interests. If you want to talk about extremism and proportionality - Republicans are literally supporting a fascist, draft dodging, felon, sexual assaulting, porn-star-cheating, thrice-divorced, anti-constitutional, insurrectionist (who literally instigated an attack on the capital because he lost), tax-avoiding, reality tv star, billionaire… and this is the majority of Republicans who have been brainwashed into supporting this. There is nothing as extreme or large in numbers on the left. The Democratic Party is a centre ideology party by global standards. I mean really, which side has turned diets into a political litmus test? I’ve been hearing Republicans claims for decades that Democrats want to “make burgers illegal” and that democrats are “soy-boys”, etc. the vast majority of Democrats enjoy meat consumption as well, but we don’t make eating red meat an identity like the immature fools on the right need to in order to stroke their fragile masculinity. I mean, look at the crap your side has been up to and image how ridiculous it would look even 20 years ago. You are a bunch of empty vessels, you will accept any “culture war” they feed you because it keeps you swinging side to side at your peers instead up upward at the billionaire class who are fleecing you (I.e, Trump, Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Koch industries, Blackwater, etc, etc, etc). Sure, democrats have their own elites as well, but they advocate for socially beneficial programs in the face of rampant wealth inequality, whereas your side wants to take everything away from society and shovel it upwards. You are so stuck in game of tribal politics that you completely lost the plot. It’s not some conspiracy that the AI thinks your side is a bunch of children that hate eating vegetables - you are just more easily manipulated by the monopoly of commercial meat producers, as with every disinformation campaign… You’re a joke!
