The study itself sites many other studies.....and then reports the findings of its own study

As it happens, being raised by liberal parents is a much larger risk factor for mental health problems in adolescence than being raised in a low-income household with parents who did not attend college. Children of conservative parents score significantly better on mental health using either a comprehensive measure of mental health based on several items, or just asking either parent or adolescents to summarize their mental health on a 1-5 scale. The gap is large.

No crap!

We already know this based on various world cultures and history, but its nice to have some more studies proving it.

Since mental illness often runs in families, no surprise that liberal parents would be passing it on to their kids.

Modern liberalism is a mental illness.

Didn't take a research study to see the result of modern parenting techniques.

You're telling me that folks who support irreversible sex change surgeries for children, killing them in the womb and then vote a pedo for President would make for bad parents?

No. Way

What parenting? They let their kids do whatever the kids feel like to "encourage their growth"

Mental illness is genetic and it's a lot more prevalent on the left so this is not a surprise at all. The more interesting thing is that unlike before, the left no longer really has kids so they aren't passing these genes on.

We now know having a father is a privilege so this makes sense.

Well liberalism is a mental disorder, so this tracks.

They are having kids, that's why most gets with gender issues have mothers with personality disorders.

Conservatives and conservatism have fundamental principles in their thought processes. Left-Right, Up-Down, Right-Wrong, Good-Bad, etc. These principles are naturally taught or demonstrated to their children on a daily basis thus building the fundamental thought processes in those children. Once these fundamentals are imbedded into the children's minds then Crazy Ideas can not take root.

Liberals are really proud of being Open/Free thinkers and thus do not ground their children in the fundamental basics such as Good-Bad or Right-Wrong. Thus lots more crazy thinking can occur in Liberal minds.

Liberals deny their own experience. Causing them lots of stress and mental anguish, their map of reality leads them astray be it doesn't match the terrain of reality. A lot of this revolves around human nature.

Having a Strong father. Having beta who has been emasculated by his wife is arguably worse

No they aren't. Leftist TFR is under 1.

I think this is mostly a function of conservative parents establishing structure and expectations for their kids instead of letting the kids just raise themselves and make all their own decisions. Also, being honest with kids and letting them face adversity so they can be their source of self-esteem instead of demanding the rest of the world praise them and forcing them relying on external validation for self-esteem. The "everyone gets a trophy so no one feels bad" movement has done incredible harm to kids, but it is something that liberals and progressives have fully embraced

In the 1970s and 80s we were raised outside like free range chicken. There was a key in the mailbox to access food, toilet and a bed. Parenting in general was minimal. Wonder what the study would say about that

They are being outbred big time, and replaced. By white conservatives and Latinos. The vast majority of white liberals under 30 will never have offspring. Praise God!

We just need the Latinos to not be woke secularists and we will be ok once the modern white liberal has been bred almost out of existence.

Did the study include abortion rates? Because that's definitely a worse outcome for children of leftists.

I think that there's still hope for Latinos (and Asians). But Black people are too far gone with their unquestioning 90% lockstep Democrat voting.

Some cultures are superior to others. The proof is in the offspring.

Indeed. To think otherwise is the huge lie of the left.

Some cultures get stereotyped as criminals or as terrorists for a reason.

Plenty of bad parenting on both sides of the aisle. To the kids enduring it doesn't matter the politics.

Makes sense liberals ruin everything
