Republicans = are happy to live and let live.

Democrats = have an unhealthy DRIVE to micromanage everyone else's life.

I think that's a bit of hyperbole there, but yes, it turns out more conservative people are happier, on average, than liberals. Even scientific research supports the idea:

https://www.livescience.com/63094-co...g-of-life.html

Psychologists who study happines generally support behaviors and attitudes that lean conservative. While not political, books such as The How of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky and Happier by Tal Ben-Shahar definitely provide scientific support for more conservative leaning values and behaviors, including, but not limited to, things like regular religious attendance/practice.

Yup. Denzel Washington said in one of his movies, "The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room".

State of unrest is putting it very mildly. How about Angry, Pessimistic, self loathing, envious, afraid of everything, easily manipulated. Very sad indeed.

Have you noticed Republicans are much happier people?

No, and I know a lot of them.

Democrats need to be permanent victims and that can be really stressful. No normal person could push for endless goalposts moving even if they believe it in their heart.

Democrats want Wakanda but they can’t even fix Southside Chicago.

Is it no wonder they’re always in a state of anxiety?

When you're Racist all you see is Racism. When you're unhappy all you see is unhappiness. Be glad you're alive and for what you have. The U.S. was by far the best, free-est country on Earth until the Leftists took control.

I think all of the unhappiness is a byproduct of the Internet. At one time the Internet was for a wealthier set and it was too expensive for the dumbed down crowd. Now everyone on food stamps can have it and just look how bad everything became. The dumb people can't rally handle as much information and misinformation there is on the Internet, so they are acting out.

Someday the wealthy smart people will figure this out and fix it. Until then we have to live with the dummies getting fed BS from "their feeds" on the wonderful WWW.

The nearer you are to a city, the less happy people are. That being sad, cities are mostly democratic. Seems you are correct in your generalization.
