I will only say on this forum that this study matches my experience exactly. There is a lot in this article that goes beyond politics.

I will add that “conservatives” tend to have a “trust G-d” attitude about things, which in my experience gave my healthy, high-performing kids the chance to simply grow, have fun, make mistakes, and be themselves. “Liberals” carry a great deal of angst, which is a side-effect, I think, of having to constantly hate, divide, and believe in lies.

I see and hear them pass those dark clouds on to the lives of their children, filling them with strange responsibilities and a daily dose of public enemies along with invented virtue.

There are always exceptions, but the children of my friends who dived hard left are children with known, declared mental health issues, to a one.

Advice to kids as I gave and give and live it:

Work hard, Love G-d, be loving and charitable, don’t beat yourself up when you make honest mistakes (I won’t be mad at you, either,) don’t worry too much when we, or you, don’t have any money, and have fun! Life is short.

Sad, but true.

Normal people are too busy to have the luxury of having a mental disease. Too much dam stuff to do.

The one good thing about transmania is that they probably won’t *have* kids. After a few visits to the Gender-Affirmation Clinic of Dr Moreau, they won’t have the equipment to reproduce. Cruel, perhaps, but for the good of the species, a blessing in disguise.

“Why is not totally known but food sharing is one of our oldest rituals for a reason.”

I wonder if it’s the actual bread breaking or that a time is set aside every evening for the family to be together?

It seems to be the actual ritual of sharing a meal.

Even if it is done in silence it does something to our brains to sit down with others and eat together. And we all do it.

All societies have the custom of coming together for a communal meal. Afterwards there may be talking or story telling or partaking in some other ritual but the meal seems to be the important part. We may work, sleep and pray alone but meals we eat together.

It seems to be as much part of what makes us human as cooking does.

Many mental illnesses have a genetic component, so that’s not surprising at all.

With LEFTIST parents, not liberal. Liberal is the nice sounding term they have given themselves. Liberal implies openness, acceptance. They are the exact opposite, they try to absolutely destroy all opposing views.
