[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]Also, Republicans tend to be more religious —God is sovereign and in control, whereas Democrats tend to be secular —Government is sovereign. When the Democrats don’t have their people running the government they become depressed and despondent, “Woe is me…the planet is doomed…fascism…boo-hoohoo…”[/quote]

Funny I watched MAGA melt down all 4 years of Biden screaming about the end of the world and WW3....shut it you sound stupid.[/quote]

It’s better to cultivate curiosity instead of the hatred you carry. But, I can see how people are reporting lower levels of happiness. Some of this is self imposed.[/quote]

Careful. You are projecting.  [/quote]

Um, the PP said “shut it, you sound stupid.” That’s not projection. Could be inferring, though. You can correct the record in that you don’t hate “MAGA.”[/quote]

But they’re wrong. The last four years have been about bro-casts talking about how sad boys are and how incels need women but women don’t like them and boo-hoo hoo.[/quote]
