As I age and meet more people, I've noticed that almost uniformly people who vote Republican are more successful, content, and fulfilled than those who vote Democrat. The Democrats are often filled with loathing, angst, and general discontent, while Republicans are often more satisfied, at peace, and fulfilled overall.

I haven't noticed this at all. My father (RIP) was very successful, had a good paying day job, and for about 15 years also ran his own business in addition, and was a lifelong liberal Democrat.

Why do you think this is? Have you noticed it?
Your opinion duly noted, in my experience its the repubs who are less successful. they just sit around with their guns and find new targets to hate while listening to the likes of the supreme opinionator Limbaugh.
Opinion def =

Something that people think matters.

Democrat voter here. I'm an engineering project manager. Making 6 figures. I'm satisfied with my career and the direction I'm going. I've met plenty of successful Democrat voters. Have also met very angry Republican voters who are poor with missing teeth.
I don't know about anyone else, but I've found that left-handed people that only eat waffles on Tuesdays are generally happier than right -handed people that eat them on Mondays.
Delayed gratification is one of the characteristics of successful people.
If it that's generally true why are the poorest states like Alabama and Mississippi overwhelmingly Republican and the richest states like Connecticut and Massachusetts overwhelmingly Democratic?
What happens when you take into account the cost of living?
The liberal left loves to find fault with everything. They love to protest be violent and love to scream,hold signs and it is their favorite party. To be out of control nutty weirdos with inciting language. I personally think they are mentally ill.
Democrats are too ideological and wordy, and they try to change your mind and argue needlessly.
