[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Face it, Republicans are better informed, more intelligent, more attractive, make more money, and are happier. [/quote]

So…delusional?  :lol: [/quote]

Yup, there was a study in Science magazine that said the whole trope that Republicans are happier was basically non-existent because conservatives rated higher on a self-delusion scale. They are literally making it up, like everything else that comes out of their mouths.

LOL, this article cites as a source a study that claims that you can gauge people's happiness based on how much they smile in their social media photos. It criticizes a claimed "self-enhancing" style of reporting without explaining why this should be discounted as a factor for underlying happiness. For example, if a person is happy with her own weight, despite his/her circle of friends who feel otherwise about the person's weight, how does this "delusion" change the fact that the person is actually happy in this regard? How is this any less valid of a form of happiness than someone who feels getting likes on their social media posts is a healthy form of social interaction? So in the end, the entire premise of this article is that if you discount what makes Republicans happier than Democrats, then Republicans are not happier. Well, no sh*t. [/quote]
