Interesting, the "sane" folks commit suicide far more often than the "nuts"...
Studies comparing suicide rates between red and blue states consistently find that red states (MAGA) have much higher suicide rates.
Suicide rates are higher in red states compared to blue states. This pattern is consistent across recent years and is supported by both state and county-level data.
Contributing Factors:
Higher rates of gun ownership in red states, which is strongly linked to increased suicide risk.
Reduced access to mental health services and a weaker social safety net, which are more prevalent in states with Republican policy orientations.
Geographic Patterns: The "suicide belt" a region with some of the highest suicide rates in the country—runs through several rural, predominantly MAGA states.
"Overall, our finding that Democratic counties have experienced steeper declines in mortality than Republican counties over the past two decades builds upon previous evidence
suggesting that more liberal policies, laws, and regulations may be associated with better health outcomes."
