Serious answers please, no bullies. This study is real.
"Our study shows that psychotic patients prefer an authoritative leader," Christopher Lohse says. "If your world is very mixed up, there's something very comforting about someone telling you, 'This is how it's going to be'."
The study began in part as an advocacy project "designed to register mentally ill voters and encourage them" to vote, while assessing "knowledge of current issues, government and politics." The Bush trend emerged in the course of the study, according to Lohse, who describes himself as a "Reagan revolution fanatic" who nonetheless finds Bush "beyond the pale." During the course of the study, it emerged that "Bush supporters has significantly less knowledge about current issues, government and politics than those who supported Kerry," and that greater levels of psychosis predicted Bush support.
