[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids of republicans tend to be happier.  Republicans tend to have a more hopeful perspective than democrats.  Democrats tend to amplify the negative to a degree that is terrifying and kids aren’t mature enough to recognize that some of it is hyperbole.  But even when it is hyperbole, the general undertone of democrats is a sad and dire view of humans, the country, the world, etc.  whereas republicans tend to have a more pragmatic view about trying to fix things that can be fixed and accept those that can’t.  I’m independent and that is my observation.  This forum is heavily democratic as is the NYT so I think it just naturally skews in a confirmation bias direction on things like this.  [/quote]

+1 It's really that kids who don't have diehard liberal parents are happier.

We moved out of the DC area and in general the kids are much happier. People rarely discuss politics in social settings. Also they didn't close public schools for a year and a half, but that decision to inflict trauma on children directly leads back to progressive politics. [/quote]

Schools were not closed for a year and a half.  :roll: [/quote]
