Study: Many Democrats Exaggerated Mental Distress After 2016 Election

STANFORD, Calif. — Many registered Democrats who claimed they were suffering from mental distress after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election may have been embellishing a bit. A new study comparing online searches to public surveys show that a significant portion of Democrats were likely over-reporting their stress or mental health issues, but doing so as a means to back their party.

“Our research suggests that for many Democrats, expressing mental distress after the election was a form of partisan cheerleading,” write researchers Masha Krupenkin, David Rothschild, Shawndra Hill and Elad Yom-Tov in their findings. “Clearly, many Democrats were, and are, upset about the Republican victory in 2016; these findings do not invalidate those feelings but put their depth and related actions into perspective.” https://www.studyfinds.org/many-demo...2016-election/

I have contacted the researchers and asked them to visit or sign up for this site. The Democrat mental illness is real and not embellished!

In particular, the authors looked for specific mental health-related search terms: depression, anxiety, stress, suicide/suicidal, and therapy. They also sought out searches for antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications.
"Democrats reported mental health declines after Trump’s election as a form of reverse cheerleading, where partisans report evaluations that are more negative than their true beliefs to reflect badly on a president of the opposing party.”


Yup. Invite those researchers. This place is a literal Petri dish of TDS.

Talk about backfiring. It only reflects badly on them. In fact it makes Trump look even better. Just the fact they have to fake being mentally ill tells me they suffer from mental illness, specifically TDS.
