I had to confirm my identity with the Government via an app.
It required a selfie.

First it said it didn't recognise my face as a face, and then it said my face was too blurry.

What a mean spirited thing to say.
My self esteem is now at an all time low 🙁

The piece discusses how psychological differences between liberals and conservatives shifted after the 2024 U.S. presidential election, with Democrats showing declines in well-being and trust while Republicans tended to improve in these areas. The study tracked 20 weeks of participants across seven measurement points to observe changes in well-being, self-views, and worldviews in relation to who they voted for.

The article is of interest to psychology readers because it highlights how political events can modulate psychological states and attitudes, challenging the notion of fixed ideological differences and illustrating the dynamic interplay between political power and individual psychology.
