Did you read your own link?
"The rule, which was finalized in December, added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their own financial affairs to the national background check database."
That in no way proves that those people are a danger to themselves or others.
There is a stigma about mentally ill people that they're dangerous and that stigma needs to go away.

Of course I did, jackass.
It in no way proves they are though and why it needs to be done on a case-by-case basis as it's certainly possible if someone is mentally unfit they're on early disability and/or unfit to balance their checkbook, they're mentally unfit to own a gun.
eg I know of an adult who is a ward of his parents because he's mentally unfit, he's probably not a danger but letting him have a gun would be beyond reckless

GOP has become the party of autism, drug abuse, and erectile dysfunction.
As fact, all 3 of those things are less characteristic of conservatives and more characteristic of progressives/liberals.
Starting at the top:
Autism and political leaning is more associated with a liberal bias:
https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10803-015-2551-1.pdf
Adults with ASD apparently over-detected faux pas despite good comprehension abilities, and were generally slower at responding. Signal detection analysis demonstrated that the ASD participants had significantly greater difficulty detecting whether a cartoon depicted a faux pas and showed a liberal response bias*. Test item analysis demonstrated that the ASD group were not in agreement with a reference control group (n = 69) about which nonfaux pas items were most difficult. These results suggest that the participants with ASD had a primary problem with faux pas detection, but that there is another factor at work, possibly compensatory, that relates to their choice of a liberal response criterion....
(*i.e. require less evidence before deciding that a faux pas has been committed
A participant who tends to respond ‘‘yes’’ is called liberal and a participant who tends to respond ‘‘no’’ is called conservative.
This fits in line with trends we see in cancel culture: it is part of a liberal response bias that has been associated with autism. They "over-detect social faux pas".
Drug use by political leaning: liberal, obviously.
And as far as drug use and drug abuse goes, it is so well known that liberals use and abuse drugs more than conservatives that it is ubquitus.
Well known surveys tell us positions on drug use:

And, in fact, we know that liberals hyper-focus on autonomy to absolve personal responsibility. Recently, there has been a backlash against this position in the psychological community and this narrative is crumbling.

But to directly address your point, the "liberal hippie types taking drugs", we all know this, already.

Lastly, ED by political leaning: conservatives are less likely to suffer from ED because they are healthier.
We do know that conservatives are healthier than liberals. That should be obvious because conservatives are more conscientious (this is what the psychology community calls it and the reason they think conservatives are healthier on average). This is also called personal responsibility.

Obviously, a healthy individual is less likely to have ED issues.

Ahh, that makes more sense. Thanks for fact checking the TDS fake news.

Partially correct. Better equation would be:
Far Left = significantly more likely, than any other political grouping, to have mental illness and have a mental illness episode in the last 30 days:
By the science:
