Selection bias. Conservatives do not seek treatment.[/quote]

No.  We just don’t think everything needs to be fixed.  We accept that there are good days and bad.  The people go through phases.  That some summers are hotter and some winters have more snow.  We don’t look at every sad day or big storm as indicative of some major mental crisis worthy of medical intervention or every bad storm as evidence of climate change.  My biggest opposition to trans medical intervention is that for the most part I view it as a phase.  Like the little girl who loves horses she much she canters around and whinnies as if she is a horse.  Puberty is awkward and many of the changes it brings are unwelcome.  Being uncomfortable with it is both normal and a phase.  I am not afraid of trans people but I don’t think that the majority of kids claiming to be trans are actually trans.  I have a close family member who is but the journey to get there took many years and he was well into adulthood before anything medical was done.  And that’s totally ok.  I am not saying climate change doesn’t exist.  In fact it has existed forever as evident by the differences in the climate during the ice age as well as during the millions of years before.  I just don’t think we can really do anything about it so I think it’s just not something I worry about.  A single volcanic eruption can undue whatever “progress” we have made by shifting away from carbon based fuels.  I think conservatives just accept that we can’t fix everything and that we should just enjoy our time here.  [/quote]

The higher rates of suicide in more conservative states suggests that the picture is more complicated than this. [/quote]
