This is not an edited photo. CPAC literally created and wore that banner of their own volition.

…and even taking that BS at face value, an actual mental disorder is infinitely preferable to sober and calculated malice.

“No -your- brain is broken! I’m just plain ol’ evil.”

Fortunately for those of us who don’t have a background in psychology: the folks who are experts tend to publish their findings!

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3092984/

Highlights:

Political liberalism and conservatism were correlated with brain structure

Liberalism was associated with the gray matter volume of anterior cingulate cortex

Conservatism was associated with increased right amygdala size

So what do those parts do…

Anterior cingulate cortex: error detection, anticipation of tasks, attention, motivation, and modulation of emotional responses

Amygdala: formation and storage of memories associated with emotional events / emotional learning; fear conditioning.

…so, yeah conservatives are literally, physiologically hypersensitive to fear, and more prone to acting on emotion. WHO’DA THUNK?!?

ASK YOUR DOCTOR

Using a broken bone can fuck it up BAD; but bones also develop along stress patterns - the spongy interior of a bone (cancellous) actually has a pattern to it that develops by normal usage and aligns with stress points.

Whether rest or stress is what your bone needs right depends on your personal physiology and the current state of its injury/recovery. Your discharge instructions should have crystal clear do’s and don’ts, but if you’re unclear about anything, you need to consult the folks who understand what’s going on with this specific injury.

I would err on the side of rest in the mean time, but seriously ASK YOU DOC.
