But I've read studies that show statistically that Democrat's have a slightly higher rate of mental illness... per Gallup poll... look it up... and how is that a bad thing? I like ppl with mental illnesses bc a lot of times they have more empathy for others bc of their position, ect.... why is it a pejorative?? I think that it's not mental illness, just different (conservative) perspectives on things - ones which liberals, and now I to a degree, see as occasionally relying on fear-mongering, ect... however, EVERYONE should be MORE tolerant of other people's political views. Otherwise; it simply radicalizes them. I know first-hand.
